U.S. Sen Chris Dodd, chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, will convene a hearing today titled “Regulating and Resolving Institutions Considered ‘Too Big to Fail’.” This hearing is part of a series of hearings, briefings and meetings that Dodd is convening as the Banking Committee works to modernize our financial regulatory system.

At Wednesday’s hearing, Dodd will hear testimony about lessons learned from the current crisis and recommendations for the regulation, supervision, and resolution of institutions considered essential to the financial system and often deemed “too big to fail.”
