No action or failure to act by the Commission or the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System, in the administration of this title shall be
construed to mean that the particular authority has in any way passed upon
the merits of, or given approval to, any security or any transaction or
transactions therein, nor shall such action or failure to act with regard to
any statement or report filed with or examined by such authority pursuant to
this title or rules and regulations thereunder, be deemed a finding by such
authority that such statement or report is true and accurate on its face or
that it is not false or misleading. It shall be unlawful to make, or cause to
be made, to any prospective purchaser or seller of a security any
representation that any such action or failure to act by any such authority
is to be so construed or has such effect.
