Congressman Barney Frank today took part in the first meeting of the House-Senate conference committee for the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability and Divestment Act (H.R. 2194). The committee is responsible for resolving differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill, which have both passed their respective bodies. Frank was appointed to the conference by the Speaker of the House because certain provisions of the bill fall within the jurisdiction of the House Financial Services Committee, which is chaired by Frank.
