THIS IS A MEMORIAL WEBSITE. THE SECTION QUOTED BELOW IS TAKEN VERBATIM from The Securities and Exchange Commission Historical Society. PLEASE VISIT THE LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE TO VIEW THE ENTIRE ARTICLE. IT IS A VERY GREAT SORROW FOR THE REMAINING FAMILY OF RAY GARRETT THAT HE IS NOT ALIVE TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE INTERVIEWS. AS A LOVER OF HISTORY (HIS MAJOR AT YALE), HE WOULD HAVE ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUPPORTED THE FOUNDING OF THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND PARTICIPATED WHOLEHEARTEDLY IN HIS OWN INTERVIEW.

DAVID S. RUDER, chairman OF THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY, FORMER SEC chairman AND FORMER DEAN OF NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL, AND chairman OF MANY OTHER ACTIVITES AND CURRENT PROFESSOR AT NORTHWESTERN speaks:

"I can't help but give you my recollection, since I'm not going to be on the panel, Alan. But I remember in 1966, a conference at Northwestern University School of Law organized by Ray Garrett, who then became chairman. And at that time the leading practitioners and academics came to Northwestern to dfiscuss improvements in the '33 and '34 Acts, and we concentrated on problems related to what is now called integratoin, and problems related to civil liability.

"Subsequently, the American Law Institute sponsored its Federal Securities Code Project, and we spent, some of us, about ten years trying to reconcile all six of the Federal Securities Laws into one single law."
