SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 
It is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) consolidated asset size remains a factor, but 
only one of many factors, that should be considered 
in determining systemic risk; and 
(2) the more objective and complete processes 
identified in section 112 of the Dodd-Frank Wall 
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as 
modified by this Act, represent a more accurate indi-
cator of systemic risk.
