First to comment was Sen. Howard Metzenbaum (D-Ohio):

At your meeting in December 1980 in New York, the Task Force presented a report stating that the interest adjusted method is "defective and fatally flawed."
That is the opinion of other creditable persons not a part of the committee but are educators or actuaries at companies or departments of insurance. (p396)
