Abstract
‘The Brady Commission’s recommendations are sound. In periods of rapid market fluctuations, millions — indeed billions — of dollars must move quickly, sometimes within minutes, to meet margin demands. A unified clearing system would facilitate that movement and greatly simplify the monitoring of market participants. The technology for a unified clearing house exists. In fact, the International Commodities Clearing House in London acts as a clearing house for exchanges located around the world.’1
