The two previous attempts to merge with the NYSE in 2008 and 2009 have failed. Two exchangesMergers and acquisitions, the former Goldman Sachs Group board co-chairman White Hede furious. In an interview with the media in the previous days, he said the 219-Year-old New York Stock Exchange would be an insult to the entire United States by being bought by Germany's only 18-year-old Deutsche Exchange group. "I think it's a bad idea and I want the deal to be stopped," he said. The takeover was an insult to New York City, an insult to New York State, and even an insult to the entire United States. White Hede, a former deputy secretary of the Reagan administration and a director of the NYSE, said his rich experience meant his argument against the deal was credible, "I rarely make a public statement, but this time I can't hide my point of view." The NYSE is an important symbol of American capitalism and a representative symbol of New York as a global financial centre. "White Hede, 88 years old, took part in the Normandy landings and commanded an American landing craft at Omaha Beach. He made it clear that his opposition to the takeover was not related to his own wartime experience with the Germans during World War II, "I will oppose any country's takeover of the NYSE, and Germany is no exception."  "Whitehead, who joined Goldman Sachs in 1947, also said he remembers seeing the NYSE on behalf of Goldman when he was young." Equally firmly opposed are the Democratic Senator Schumer of the United States. He raised two big questions about the merger of the German Stock exchange with NYSE Euronext--which side of the new exchange would be managed and how to name it, it also stressed that the name of the new exchange, the name of NYSE Euronext before the exchange, would be a "key factor" in whether it would support the deal. The question of names will relate whether the deal is a merger or a takeover case. "Mr Schumer's statement also shows that it is not easy for the deal to be approved by both parties.
