A deregulation wish list
'Conflict minerals' sourcing: The 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law requires companies to disclose whether their use of four minerals found in common consumer electronics — tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold — helps fund rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighboring countries.
