Assignment: Senate Report
You are a mid-level staffer for a politically neutral senator who is evaluating Senate Bill S.2720, the "Brokaw Act," introduced in the U.S. Senate by four senators (including Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders) in March. You have been tasked with identifying and discussing the key arguments in favor and against the proposed legislation to aid the senator in making a decision on whether to support or oppose the bill.
For this assignment, you will discuss and evaluate the arguments from both the pro-legislation and anti-legislation perspectives. This assignment will be organized as a report to a senator who is familiar with the general topic of activist investors, but not familiar with the details of the proposed legislation or the debate between the two sides. The report will be divided into:
? Introduction:A brief summary of the proposed legislation and a brief description of the proponents and opponents whose perspectives you will be reviewing.
? Discussion of Perspectives of Those Favoring the Proposal:In this section, you will be answering, but are not limited to, the following questions:
oWhat are the arguments they are making?
oWhat evidence, logical or factual, supports their arguments?
oAre their concerns logical, viable, and geared toward the general public?
? Discussion of Perspectives of Those Against the Proposal: Addressing the same questions as mentioned above, but with those who are against the proposal.
? Final Recommendation: Based on the comments of both sides, provide a convincing recommendation for or against the proposed legislation justifying it through the evidence provided in the previous two sections.

Revise Senate Report paper
I need someone to help me revise this paper based on the following instructions and peer review feedback:
Outline:
1. Heading as structured on handout (1.5 inch margins around text on all pages except reference page)
2. Introduction to the Report that includes information about what this report is about
3. Purpose of legislation
4. Establishing the debate section (brief paragraph on the different perspectives that will be addressed in the report-Broad/basic overview of the debate in one paragraph)
5. Perspectives for the Bill (3 different viewpoints-3 different paragraphs)
6. Perspectives against the Bill (3 different viewpoints-- 3 different paragraphs)
7. Recommendation for the Senator
8. APA Reference Page
Peer Review Feedback:
1. The "PROPONENTS OF THE BROKAW LAW" section only has 2 viewpoints, needs one more
2. The second viewpoint from Sarah Krouse and Tom McGinty in "PROPONENTS OF THE BROKAW LAW" is not clear why this should lead to intervention
3. The "OPPONENTS OF THE BROKAW LAW" section only has 1 viewpoint, needs 2 more
4. Unclear why Benoit thought these regulations lead to investor rights changes
5. Each section is too long. While each section needs to add more viewpoints, the original paper needs to be shortened. The max length of this paper is 5 pages.
