I believe it was CFTC that had a rule that no two members of its governing body could ever be in the same private space at the same time.

The idea being that they could not discuss important matters privately but only when in the official committee discussions.

This included elevators so if one of them was about to get on and the other one was already there, the first person had to let the elevator go without them.

Unless there was a third person, in which case it wasn't a private space anymore?
