Really? Did you look at all the other interests on the CRP page? Just look at all the money financial interests have spent over the rewrite of Glass-Steagall. In my more cynical moments I suspect that Congress hasn't passed a comprehensive rewrite of G-S because the threat of doing so was a great way to shake the money tree.
