3. Throughout the fall, lawmakers in the House have been drafting and reworking legislation to reform the financial system. Senate Democrats weighed in last week with a plan that is stronger than the House bills on aspects of derivatives regulation and consumer protection. It also invites healthy debate on other issues, like the role of the Federal Reserve in a reformed system.

But the proposal, created by Senator Christopher Dodd, the chairman of the banking committee, is just a draft. Senators will have to stand up to pressure from banking and business lobbies, which surely will try to weaken the beneficial parts of the plan as it makes its way through the legislative process.

THE FED The House and the administration propose new bank regulatory powers for the Fed. But they have not called for the changes needed in the clubby and secretive Fed system for the central bank to exercise its new powers in an unbiased and transparent way. The Dodd plan pulls in the opposite direction. It would strip the Fed of regulatory powers, even though Fed supporters say that such powers are central to the Fed’s ability to make informed decisions about the economy.

None of the proposals have yet to strike a workable balance, but Mr. Dodd is right not to blindly accept the notion that the Fed has the expertise and willingness to regulate, when such expertise and willingness were manifestly absent in the run-up to the crisis.
