honorable Duncan U. Hetcher, Chairman,
Conwittee on banking and Currency,
United States Senate,
Washington, D. 0,

My dear Senator >letcher:
In view of the question which was raised during the debates in the iJouee of Representatives as to the constitutionality
of the statea»nt of objectives contained in section 204(b) of the
proposed Banking Act of 19S5 (K. R. 7617), as passed by the Louse
of Representatives, I am inclosing for your information a memorandum on the subject which distinguishes the Supreme Court's reoent decision in the N# B« A. case as well as its decision in the
Hot Oil case and demonstrates that the statement of objectives is
clearly constitutional.

Cordially yours.

Um S. Lccles,
Governor•
