*Ted Appears in 60 Minutes Story, Profiled by TIME’s
 Joe Klein*

CBS’ *60 Minutes* recently took an in-depth look at the
 shadowy world of high frequency trading and the May 6 "flash crash."
 Ted – who has been urging the Securities and Exchange Commission to
 deal effectively with market structure issues since August 2009 –
 appeared in the story and urged the critical importance of transparency and
 fairness for the future of U.S. capital markets.

**Pre-Election
 Presidential Transition Act* Becomes Law*

Ted’s bill -- which
 encourages presidential candidates to engage in transition planning before
 Election Day -- was signed into law by President Obama on Oct.
 15.

“The Pre-Election Presidential Transition Act gives future presidential
 campaigns the additional resources and incentive they need to begin
 transition planning long before Election Day, ending the ’measuring the
 drapes’ stigma too often attached to it," said Ted.

*Ted
 Appointed to TARP Oversight Panel; Elected Chair*

In September, Majority
 Leader Harry Reid appointed Ted as a member of the Congressional
 Oversight Panel (COP), which oversees the Troubled Asset Relief Program
 (TARP). Ted was elected unanimously to serve as the panel’s new
 chairman, replacing Elizabeth Warren. Although TARP expired last month, many
 of its programs will continue to spend money, and COP is expected to
 produce five more reports before the panel ends its oversight activities
 on April 3, 2011.
