5. FHLBB Chairman Edwin Gray is someone I have known and respected for many years. I was aware that Chairman Gray was being criticized for his work during a difficult time and that ho was making his best effort as FHLBB Chairman. Neither I nor my staff received any unusual complaints from California savings and loan institutions regarding the actions or policies of Chairman Gray or the FHLBB. In keeping with my general practice to carefully consider criticisms of federal agencies in order to determine if any action on my part should be taken, my staff and I gave deference to Chairman Gray's actions and those of the FHLBB. 6. I routinely refer constituent complaints about federal agencies to those agencies with a routine request that they consider the constituent's position. It is my policy not to write to a federal agency on behalf of a constituent advocating that the agency take a particular action without an investigation and consideration of the facts of the situation by my staff and, as appropriate, by me. After this review, I might write an agency and state that if the facts are as the constituent asserts, a particular action may well be appropriate. With regard to contacting state agencies, in my experience, it is not common for a Senator from one state to contact a state regulator from another state. 7. I use professional fundraisers to raise contributions to my election campaigns. It is my policy never to involve in any manner these fundraisers in any substantive legislative or administrative matters in which my office is involved. permit fundraisers to schedule meetings for me on official policy matters or proceedings. I do not I declare, under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and correct.
