AHC and WI: No Citigroup Merger

With the latest possible PoD, how can the 1998 merger between Citicorp and Traveler's Insurance be prevented (or at least delayed a few years)? If such a merger, and the needed exemption granted by Federal Reserve, would this have been enough to stop the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act from passing under Clinton? If so, could Glass-Steagall's division of banking and investment have continued to today? And given the answers to all these questions, how would the businesses, the US economy, the world, et el, be affected?
 
There was an old thread about several seats that nearly went Democratic in 1996, but this was derailed at the last second by the revelations of China's illegal contributions to Clinton and Gore, which hurt Democratic momentum.

With that, the GOP will narrowly have control of the House, and piss it away in 1998. With that, Gramm-Leach could be killed in committee.

By Chairman Sarbanes? Would behave stood up to the Clinton Administration if Rubin asked for it to get a vote? And even so, he voted "yea" when all was said and done.

I'm talking about the House, not the Senate... Although it honestly could still pass, there are more institutional roadblocks in a Democratic House: committee, the Speaker, etc.
