Recent Trends in Federal Budget Policy
This article was prepared in the Government
Finance Section of the Division of Research and
Statistics.

Prospects for a more effective Federal fiscal
policy were enhanced with the enactment of the
Congressional Budget and Impoundment Con­
trol Act of 1974. This legislation requires the
Congress to establish over-all Federal budget
targets— for receipts, expenditures, and the re­
sulting surplus or deficit— that appear to be
consistent with the broad requirements of na­
tional economic policy. Previously, congres­
sional budget machinery has tended to encour­
age a fragmented focus on specific Federal ex­
penditure and tax programs, with insufficient
emphasis on the economic consequences of the
budget as a whole. Thus, the conscious deter­
mination of an appropriate, general Federal fis­
cal policy has seldom been an integral part of
the congressional budget process.
Official implementation of the new budget
machinery is not scheduled until the fiscal year
1977. However, in order to gain needed experi­
ence for next year, the Congress is approaching
the budget for the current fiscal year as if the
new law were already in effect. New congres­
sional budget committees have been established,
and they are currently engaged in the task of
specifying appropriate fiscal goals.
This new approach to fiscal policy faces ob­
vious challenges. It is being initiated against the
backdrop of the most serious economic reces­
sion since before World War II. In addition,
the need to curb inflationary pressures persists,
and at the same time, considerable differences
of opinion remain regarding the extent to which
fiscal measures should be used to promote en­
ergy policy. Finally, rapid growth in Federal
expenditures stemming from the sweeping so­
cial legislation of the 1960’s is intensifying




problems of both short- and long-term budgetary
control.
This article sketches the nature and dimen­
sions of these longer-run fiscal trends, describes
the recent enactment of tax reductions, and
discusses in some detail the new budget control
procedures that offer considerable promise for
improved fiscal policy.

Within the last 10 years Federal outlays have
expanded at an unusually fast pace— from $118
billion in fiscal 1965 to about $325 billion in
the fiscal year just ended. This represents an
increase of 175 per cent, or an average annual
growth rate of about 11 per cent. In contrast,
Federal revenues have increased by only 140
per cent during the period, with the growth of
receipts varying considerably from year to year.
The recession of this year, in particular, has
dampened growth of receipts while accelerating
that of expenditures.
While these budget totals provide a useful
general impression of the thrust of budget ac­
tivity, they conceal a number of rather diverse
influences on the Federal budget. In the latter
half of the 1960’s, for example, growth in
Federal outlays was dominated by the war in
Vietnam and by the inauguration of new social
welfare programs. Expenditure growth in the
first half of the 1970’s, on the other hand, while
reflecting the continued evolution of the social
programs initiated earlier, has also been strongly
reinforced by the effects of accelerated inflation.
Most recently, the recession has induced a sub­
stantial volume of compensatory outlays.
Chart 1 shows the growing importance of
social outlays in the Federal budget over the

394

Federal R eserve B ulletin □ July 1975

past 10 years and the resulting changes in im­
portance of other key budget items. The
proportion of outlays allocated to national de­
fense has declined steadily, from 42 per cent
in fiscal 1965 to 27 per cent in fiscal 1975. Even
though defense expenditures in fiscal 1965 had
not yet reflected much of the build-up associated
with the war in Vietnam, the data indicate that
the proportion of expenditures for national de­
fense today is substantially lower than in the
period just prior to our Vietnam involvement.
In the area of social outlays, the most signifi­
cant gains for the period have occurred in ex­
penditures for income security. This functional
category includes social security and unem­
ployment insurance programs, public assist­
ance, and supplements to low-income families
for food and housing. As a proportion of total
outlays, this category has increased from 22 per
cent in fiscal 1965 to 33 per cent in fiscal 1975.
Other significant increases have occurred in the
areas of health and education.
Table 1 provides additional perspective on the
shift in relative spending priorities over the
period and relates Federal spending to the level

of aggregate economic activity. As shown, the
ratio of Federal outlays to gross national product
has increased somewhat in 1975. However, this
increase is accounted for largely by the surge
in spending induced by the downturn in eco­
nomic activity. The final line of Table 1 adjusts
for this factor and presents the ratio of expendi­
tures to GNP under conditions of sustained, high
employment. These data would indicate that the
share of Federal expenditures has tended to be
stable during the first half of the 1970’s.
The increased relative importance of Federal
spending for social programs, while reflecting
the evolution of national priorities, introduces
problems of control in the management of Fed­
eral fiscal policy. Spending for most of these
programs is open-ended in character since it is
funded under a so-called “ entitlement author­
ity.” When the Congress creates such pro­
grams, it specifies levels of benefit payments and
defines the population eligible to receive them.
As a result an automatic entitlement, or right,
to benefits is created whenever eligibility re­
quirements are met. Public assistance, food
stamps, and certain unemployment compensa-

tion and veterans programs are examples of
transfer payments funded by this type of au­
thority.
With the substantial growth in these types of
programs, the share of total Federal spending
that is mandatory or automatic in the short run
has become increasingly important. In this sense
these programs, and a number of others, are
sometimes described as “ uncontrollable.” Over
the past 5 years the share of Federal outlays
that fall in this uncontrollable category has in­
creased from about 65 per cent to nearly 75 per
cent. The payment of interest on the public debt
is another spending category that responds au­
tomatically to external events without the need
for explicit congressional action and that is
included in the uncontrollable category. Also
payments under long-term contracts for defense
and public works, once obligated, may be un­
controllable for extended periods. In terms of
the various functional budget categories, more
than 90 per cent of the outlays for income
security, health, and veterans benefits are deter­
mined by established legislation. And, of
course, 100 per cent of the interest payment on
the public debt falls in this category. In contrast,
only about 40 per cent of defense-related outlays
can be classified as “ uncontrollable” in that
they do not require new congressional appro­
priations each year.
Of course, it is misleading to assert that any
budget outlay is wholly uncontrollable, since the
Congress may change any item in the budget



by legislative action. However, because income
security programs have generally been estab­
lished to meet long-run needs and are often
financed by specifically earmarked taxes, any
major changes in the scope of these programs
would entail prolonged legislative consid­
eration. It is true, of course, that the Congress
would also be subjected to substantial pressures
if it attempted to make substantial cuts in the
controllable sector of the budget.
Outlays in the sectors of the Federal budget
that do require annual appropriations have, of
course, been greatly inflated over the past dec­
ade by the general advance in prices. Although
benefit payments in Federal social programs are
typically legislated in nominal dollars, they too
have been strongly affected by inflation, since
Congress generally responds to the pinch of
higher prices by liberalizing benefit payments.
Moreover, in recent years, the Congress has
turned increasingly to indexation as a means of
keeping benefit payments more current with
rising prices. Federal retirement pay, social se­
curity, and several other types of income main­
tenance programs are now all tied to the move­
ment of the consumer price index.
One of the important implications of this
trend toward indexation of expenditures is that
it tends to blunt the restrictive effects of the
so-called “ built-in stabilizers” in the Federal
budget. Government spending on unemploy­
ment benefits and other income maintenance
programs is generally expected to shrink during

396

Federal R eserve B ulletin □ July 1975

periods of expanding economic activity and
rising employment, and thus helps to temper
inflationary pressures. With indexation, how­
ever, spending in these areas tends to be main­
tained during periods of inflation, which creates
a problem when inflation is being stimulated by
a general overheating of the economy. Most
recently, however, with inflation and underuti­
lization of resources occurring simultaneously,
indexation in the various income transfer pro­
grams has tended to cushion the fall of purchas­
ing power, and thus to moderate declining eco­
nomic activity.
In any event, the recent combination of re­
cession and inflation has strongly accentuated
the growth in Federal outlays. As a result, in
the fiscal year just ended, outlays expanded by
nearly one-fifth, accounting in the process for
approximately two-fifths of the over-all growth
in Federal spending since the beginning of the
1970’s. A slowing in the growth of budget
outlays is now projected for the current fiscal
year, due both to an expected, further abatement
of inflation and to a projected moderation in
outlays for unemployment insurance as eco­
nomic activity improves. In addition, the Pres­
ident’s program calls for explicit curbs on
spending growth. Since, however, the bulk of
Federal outlays are now mandatory under exist­
ing laws, the possibilities for sizable short-range
cutbacks are quite limited.

In addition to their impact on outlays, recent
trends in economic activity have also exerted
pervasive effects on the course of Federal re­
ceipts. Most importantly, inflation has tended
to increase tax receipts by more than the gain
in private incomes.
The experience of 1973-74 illustrates the
influence of inflation on receipts. In those years
effective tax rates on incomes of individuals rose
significantly (Table 2). This rise reflects two
factors. First, personal exemptions as well as
the legislated minimum and maximum standard
deductions are stated in fixed-dollar terms; when
nominal incomes are pushed higher in the course

The 1970 rate has been adjusted to rem ove the effect o f the

of inflation, these fixed-dollar allowances con­
stitute an increasingly smaller share of the total ;
thus an increasingly greater share of income
becomes subject to tax. Second, when inflation
causes nominal incomes to grow, the progres­
sive character of the income tax structure forces
taxpayers into higher marginal tax brackets; as
a result, tax liabilities rise faster than taxable
incomes.
This second influence affects taxpayers across
a wide range of income levels, but the first factor
exerts its greatest percentage impact on individ­
uals in lower tax brackets. Low-income families
are most affected because tax allowances stated
in fixed-dollar terms bulk larger as a share of
their total incomes. In addition, individuals with
higher income levels are more likely to itemize
their deductions, the dollar value of which tends
to rise somewhat in response to inflation.
In the case of corporations, the impact of
inflation on effective tax rates is of a different
character. Because corporate accounting proce­
dures often do not allow adequately for rising
replacement costs, higher recorded corporate
profits frequently exaggerate available internal
funds during periods of inflation. Despite
mounting corporate cash needs in such periods,
tax liabilities remain at high levels.
A corporate cash squeeze due to high tax
liabilities can occur in two ways. First, since
deductions for depreciation are recorded on a
historical cost basis, the real cost of capital
consumption is underestimated. Second, when
prices are rising steeply, many corporations
show substantial “ paper profits” on inventories
that are valued without adequate regard for

Recent Trends in Federal Budget Policy

replacement costs. Real corporate profits have
thus tended to be overstated because of depre­
ciation methods and the treatment of inventory
profits. It should be noted however, that infla­
tion introduces an additional, partially offsetting
influence. During periods of rising prices, con­
ventional accounting practices fail to reflect the
gains that accrue to debtors as a result of the
decline in the real value of outstanding, fixeddollar debt obligations. To the extent that the
corporate sector is in a net debtor position, this
fact may be significant.
The inventory effect has been important in
recent years because many firms use the “ firstin, first-out” (FIFO) accounting method for
measuring the cost of goods sold. Under the
FIFO approach, goods sold are valued at the
prices paid for the inventory acquired earliest.
During periods of rapid inflation, therefore,
goods sold are assigned a value well below their
replacement costs, leading to an overstatement
of profits relative to the funds that are available
to pay taxes on these profits. Table 3 indicates
the increased importance of inventory profits in
the 1973-74 period. Because of this distortion,
many firms have recently elected to switch to
a “ last-in, first-out” (LIFO) method of inven­
tory valuation. Under this procedure, goods
sold are valued at the price paid for the most
recent additions to inventory.
Inflation has thus increased effective tax rates
considerably for both individuals and corpora­
tions, particularly during 1973 and 1974. Much
of the $20 billion shift toward a smaller defi­
cit— from $23 billion to $3 billion— that devel­
oped in the unified Federal budget between

The full-em ploym ent budget is based on the series published
by the Federal R eserve Bank o f St. L ouis. B eginning in 1973,
adjustments were made to the St. L ouis series to include the
impact o f inflation on inventory profits. The projections o f the
actual and full-em ploym ent budgets for fiscal year 1976 are

sented by Congress in M ay 1975.

fiscal 1972 and fiscal 1974 was attributable to
this influence.
The significance of inflation for effective tax
receipts is also suggested by the so-called
“ full-employment” budget, shown in Chart 2.
This analytical measure attempts to focus on the
stance of discretionary Federal fiscal policy by
abstracting from the automatic effects on budget
totals of fluctuations in general economic activ­
ity. In other words, the full-employment budget
seeks to show what the position of the budget
would have been— given the same discretionary
fiscal policies— if the economy had followed a
steady growth path close to full employment.
As indicated in the chart, the full-employment
budget strongly suggests a shift toward a more
restrictive fiscal policy between 1972 and 1974.
Full-employment budget totals, however,
have to be interpreted with particular care during
periods of inflation. A sizable part of the marked
1974 shift to surplus in the full-employment
budget, for example, clearly did not result from
discretionary fiscal actions designed to achieve
greater restraint. The observed move toward
surplus simply reflected an uptrend in effective
tax rates caused by the inflation of nominal
incomes.

398

Federal R eserve B ulletin □ July 1975

Increases in revenues resulting from inflation
have traditionally been viewed as desirable,
automatic fiscal stabilizers. Unfortunately, re­
cent economic conditions do not fit neatly into
this traditional framework of fiscal analysis.
In 1974 rapid inflation occurred during a period
of economic stagnation, and the source of the
inflation was not excess demand. In these cir­
cumstances the tendency for the automatic sta­
bilizers to increase effective tax rates and to
dampen spending was counterproductive in that
it reinforced the weakening of the economy.

RECENT
BUDGET DEVELOPM ENTS
Since 1974 the full-employment budget has
shifted substantially toward deficit, as Chart 2
shows. For all of fiscal 1975 the actual budget
deficit moved up sharply to about $45 billion,
and for the current fiscal year it is now forecast
to rise further, possibly to $70 billion.
The latter figure would represent the largest
absolute dollar deficit in U.S. history. As a share
of GNP, it has been exceeded only by the
deficits incurred during the full mobilization
period of World War II. To a considerable
extent the record proportions of this prospective
deficit simply reflect the impact of deep reces­
sion on the automatic budget stabilizers. As
employment and incomes have fallen, outlays
for unemployment compensation and other en­
titlement programs have risen, while tax receipts
have weakened.
In addition, however, the marked recent shift
toward fiscal stimulus reflects new fiscal policy
initiatives. In the Federal budget presented in
February, the administration requested (1) tem­
porary tax reductions to help stimulate economic
recovery, (2) cutbacks in certain types of Fed­
eral spending to help curb inflation over the
longer run, and (3) a system of excise taxes
and import fees on petroleum and natural gas
to help promote self-sufficiency in energy.
Among these proposals, those designed to stim­
ulate the economy received prompt congres­
sional attention, but legislative action on the
energy program has been deferred. Moreover,
the Congress has shown little inclination to



support the administration’s proposed reduc­
tions in spending.
In his budget message for the fiscal year 1976
the President requested temporary tax reductions
of $16 billion, with three-fourths of the amount
going to individuals and one-fourth to busi­
nesses— roughly the shares of total Federal in­
come tax receipts already accounted for by each
of these sectors. The recommended tax reduc­
tions consisted of a rebate of up to 12 per cent
on 1974 personal tax liabilities and a temporary
increase in the investment tax credit to 12 per
cent.
These provisions were modified and supple­
mented by the Congress in the Tax Reduction
Act of 1975, which was passed in April of this
year. This Act provided for approximately $20
billion in net tax relief with about $17 billion
going to individuals.
A part of this legislation took the form of
an $8.1 billion tax rebate on 1974 personal
taxes. Other provisions applied to taxes for the
calendar year 1975. To ameliorate the effects
of inflation on taxpayers in the low- and middle-income tax brackets, the Act increased both
the standard deduction and the low-income al­
lowance. A $30 tax credit for each exemption
was also introduced, and a refundable tax credit
of 10 per cent, with a maximum of $400, was
provided to alleviate the burden of growing
social insurance taxes on low-income families.
Finally, to stimulate the housing industry, a 5
per cent tax credit, with a maxium of $2,000,
was provided on the purchase of a new home.
To stimulate business investment, the invest­
ment tax credit was increased to 10 per cent,
and smaller businesses were assisted by a re­
duction in tax rates on corporate profits of less
than $50,000. Some of this tax relief to business
was offset by the repeal of most depletion al­
lowances on petroleum and natural gas and by
increased limitations on the use of foreign tax
credits.
Current discussion regarding future tax policy
revolves chiefly around the question of whether
cuts in tax liabilities provided in the Tax Re­
duction Act should be extended into 1976. Other
fiscal policy debate centers on the level of ag­
gregate spending thought to be appropriate for
promoting an extended noninflationary recov­

Recent Trends in Federal Budget Policy

ery. The manner in which these issues are
ultimately settled will be influenced strongly by
the extent to which the new machinery estab­
lished by the Congressional Budget and Im­
poundment Control Act is successfully imple­
mented.

P R E V IO U S E X P E N D IT U R E C O N T R O L A C T IO N S
The need for improved congressional control
over the Federal budget has long been recog­
nized. Impetus for reform of the budget-making
process, however, came from the executive,
rather than the legislative, branch when, during
the early years of the 1970’s, the President made
a growing practice of impounding funds appro­
priated by the Congress.
Presidential impoundment of appropriated
funds was not a creation of the 1970’s. Legisla­
tive authority for this practice was provided at
least in a limited way by the Anti-Deficiency
Act of 1950. That Act permitted the President
to establish budgetary reserves in order to pro­
vide for contingencies and to allow savings in
congressionally appropriated funds. Impound­
ments of this type were for the purpose of
enhancing managerial efficiency, since it was
recognized that funds appropriated under some
programs might exceed the actual level of ex­
penditures needed to complete them. However,
the Act does not permit impoundment for the
purpose of program curtailment or cancellation.
During the 1960’s most executive impound­
ments involved withholding of funds from high­
way trust funds or for defense-related projects.
During the early years of the current decade,
the character of presidential impoundments un­
derwent a quantitative and qualitative change.
In this period impoundments were justified by
the administration not only for purposes of
managerial efficiency but also as a means of
implementing an anti-inflation policy. It was
argued that impoundment for this purpose was
sanctioned by the Employment Act of 1946 as
well as by the Economic Stabilization Act of
1971.
The expanded use of impoundments during
the 1970’s, and a growing congressional con­



399

cern that the administration was becoming
overly selective in its impoundment choices,
provoked a congressional response in the form
of anti-impoundment legislation. It soon became
evident, however, that if such legislation were
to be effective, it would have to be accompanied
by new procedures that would reorganize the
congressional budget process itself. An impor­
tant related development that promoted this rec­
ognition was the rapid growth in uncontrollable
budget outlays discussed earlier.
Prior to enactment of the new budget law,
the ability of the Congress to view the budget
as a whole was severely limited. Since no single
committee was charged with responsibility for
reviewing the entire budget, spending totals in
any given year were largely the result of un­
coordinated actions by a number of separate
committees and subcommittees. This fragmen­
tation of budget decisions made it virtually
impossible for the Congress to establish a con­
sistent set of spending priorities. Hence it was
most difficult to achieve an over-all budget pos­
ture consistent with economic policy needs.

H IG H L IG H T S

The Congressional Budget and Impoundment
Control Act significantly improves the budgetmaking process. It establishes standing budget
committees in each House of Congress em­
powered to study and to recommend changes
in the budget submitted by the President. In
effect, these committees are charged with the
task of formulating a congressional budget ap­
propriate to the requirements of economic sta­
bilization. To help implement this new respon­
sibility, the Act creates the Congressional
Budget Office, paralleling the Office of Man­
agement and Budget in the Executive Office of
the President.
In order both to lengthen the time period over
which the President’s January budget proposal
can be considered by the Congress and to assure
that actions on appropriations are completed
before the start of the fiscal year, the Act also
changes the start of the fiscal year from July
1 to October 1. The Act is scheduled for full

Fiscal year begins.

implementation when the Congress considers its
budget for fiscal 1977.
As shown in the accompanying timetable, the
Act establishes a tight schedule for congres­
sional budget actions within a new fiscal year.
A brief review of the major steps involved in
meeting this demanding timetable will help to
explain its essentials. Basically, the process falls
into four stages.
In the first stage, the Congress considers the
President’s “ current services budget,” which
is submitted in November, 3 months before the
regular administration budget. The current
services budget is a projection of receipts and
outlays for the coming fiscal year, assuming
continuation of Federal benefits, services, pur­
chases, and taxes as provided under existing
law. This forecast is based on economic as­
sumptions provided by the latest projections of




the Council of Economic Advisers. The “ no­
program change” assumption of the current
services budget provides a convenient base for
use by the Congress in evaluating the Pres­
ident’s February budget proposal, since the
February budget is both a forecast of ongoing
programs and a statement incorporating pro­
posed new spending and tax initiatives.
The second stage in the new budget process
involves the formulation of an initial congres­
sional budget— or as it is termed in the Act,
the first concurrent resolution on the budget.
This resolution is a preliminary working budget
that is intended to serve as a set of guidelines
for the appropriations committees. The initial
budget resolution, as adopted, sets target figures
for total outlays, tax revenues, appropriations,
changes in outstanding debt, and the budget
surplus or deficit. The formulation of the first
concurrent resolution is a key stage in the new
budget-making process. At this point the Con­
gress will, for the first time, explicitly consider
the Federal budget as a whole and relate its
budgetary decisions to the goals of full employ­
ment and price stability. This focus on the
over-all thrust of fiscal policy is a radical change
from past budgetary practice.
After passage of this initial budget resolution,
the budget process enters its third stage. In this
stage, the Congress acts on appropriations
measures through its usual procedures: moving
from subcommittees to the full committee, to
action by the House and Senate, and to a final
conference resolution. Final passage of these
appropriation measures is held up, however,
until all appropriations bills have been reported
and a summary has been prepared. Once this
is done, final approval of the appropriations bills
must be provided in quick succession, since all
appropriations actions must be cleared by the
Congress no later than the seventh day after
Labor Day.
The fourth and final stage of the new budget
process begins in mid-September. Having com­
pleted action on all appropriations measures, the
Congress must then review the budget as a
whole. At this point, and in view of possible
changes in economic conditions, the targets of
the initial budget resolution prepared in May are

Recent Trends in Federal Budget Policy

reviewed and are either revised or reaffirmed.
If the separate appropriations actions exceed the
targets of the initial budget resolution (or fail
to reach them), the Congress may then decide
to alter targets for appropriations, revenues, or
the debt ceiling. The budget process for the
fiscal year is concluded with enactment of a
reconciliation bill. This bill adjusts separate
committee actions on outlays and receipts to the
over-all budget targets affirmed by the Congress.
Once the final concurrent budget resolution is
enacted, all new budget authority must be within
the limits established by that resolution.
Thus, the final stage of the new budget
process is especially important. At this stage the
Congress is expected to exercise the greatest
amount of self-discipline and, if necessary, to
challenge the traditional and established pre­
rogatives of regular committees.

Im p o u n d m e n t s
A special section of the Act establishes new
procedures for monitoring presidential with­
holdings of appropriated funds. Impoundments
are to be classified by the executive as either
a deferral of spending to a later period or a
recommended cancellation of budget authority,
defined as a rescission. To override a presiden­
tial deferral, a simple majority vote in either
the House or the Senate is required. In the case
of a rescission, however, the new law requires
passage of an enabling bill within 45 days of
the presidential request. Without such a bill, the
President is required to disburse the funds pre­
viously appropriated.
Regardless of whether a given action is a
deferral or a rescission, the President is required
to report the action to the Congress. Ultimately,
suit may be brought in the courts by the Comp­
troller General if the President fails to comply
with an override of an impoundment decision.
While the provisions of the new law clearly
represent a significant effort to regulate the im­
poundment process, some potential problem
areas remain. As mentioned earlier, a large
number of impoundments are routinely initiated
under the Anti-Deficiency Act of 1950. The
Congress probably does not intend to restrict




401

the President’s authority in this area. The new
law makes no distinction, however, between
routine and nonroutine impoundments. Since
the executive branch is now required to report
all impoundments, the Congress may find that
the task of monitoring funds that have been
withheld and of ascertaining the validity of each
separate action is more difficult under the new
law. Moreover, while the Act distinguishes be­
tween a deferral and a rescission of spending,
the distinction between the two actions may not
be so clear in practice as its definition would
imply. Budget authority for most programs has
a fixed expiration date. If spending for such a
program is deferred, it is possible that the funds
cannot be fully or efficiently obligated in the
time remaining. Furthermore, during a period
of price inflation, deferral of a spending program
may effectively curtail the scope of the program
when funds are ultimately released.
Since a rescission requires an approval by
both Houses of Congress, whereas a deferral
is valid in the absence of a veto from either
House, it would seem that, as a matter of
strategy, the executive branch would make rel­
atively greater use of the deferral provision if
it is intent on controlling spending by means
of the impoundment mechanism.

P r o sp e c t s
fo r t h e N e w P r o c e d u r e s
At this juncture it is difficult to evaluate the
likely impact of the new congressional budget
procedures, since the enabling statute will not
be fully implemented until the Congress con­
siders its budget for the fiscal year 1977. As
noted earlier, however, the Congress is partially
implementing the new approach in formulating
its budget for fiscal 1976. The Congressional
Budget Office has been established and is al­
ready engaged in reviewing many aspects of
Federal fiscal policy. Moreover, the budget
committees in both Houses of Congress have
formulated their first concurrent resolution on
the budget for the current fiscal year. As passed
by Congress, this resolution provides for a uni­
fied budget deficit of nearly $69 billion, ap­

402

Federal R eserve B ulletin □ July 1975

proximately $9 billion in excess of the Pres­
ident’s recommended deficit but significantly
less than many forecasters had anticipated.
To some extent, the deviation from the Pres­
ident’s estimates reflects alternative assumptions
regarding the likely strength of the economic
recovery. But the congressional program also
differs in important respects as to recom­
mendations for spending, including the ceilings
that the administration has proposed on some
programs.
Congressional implementation of the new




Budget Act to date represents an impressive
beginning. A more significant test of the new
machinery will, of course, come in the fall when
the Congress is forced to reconcile its various
spending and tax decisions with the targets that
it has affirmed in the concurrent resolution. If
the Congress continues to implement success­
fully the provisions of the Act, this new ap­
proach promises to produce a more flexible
fiscal policy— one that is capable of responding
more effectively to the often difficult require­
ments of economic stabilization.

to $650 in 1971, to $7 0 0 in 1972; and to $ 7 5 0 in 1973
and thereafter. The standard deduction w as increased from
10 to 15 per cent over a 3-year period, beginning in 1971.
Introduced a maxim um marginal rate o f 50 per cent on earned
incom e; the m axim um rate on unearned incom e remained
at 70 per cent. Extended the surtax from Jan. 1, 1970, to
June 3 0 , 1970, at a 5 per cent rate. Postponed scheduled
reductions in the ex cise tax rates on autom obiles and tele­
phone services until Jan. 1, 1971. Generally repealed the
investment tax credit for property constructed, reconstructed,
or acquired after Apr. 18, 1969.
Extended the excise tax rates on autom obiles and telephone
services, previously scheduled for repeal, at their respective
7 and 10 per cent levels until Jan. 1972. Sped up collections
of estate and gift taxes.
Gave firms the option of raising or low ering the “ guideline
liv e s” of depreciable assets by up to 20 per cent. The reserve
ratio test was abandoned.
Accelerated by 1 year scheduled increases in personal e x ­
em ptions and the standard deduction. Repealed 7 per cent
autom obile ex cise tax retroactive to A ug. 15, 1971, and the
ex cise tax on small trucks and transit buses retroactive to
Sept. 22 , 1971. Reinstated the 7 per cent investm ent tax
credit.
Defined and granted the D om estic International Sales Cor­
porations the option o f indefinite deferral o f the Federal tax
due on “ export related operations.”
Provided for a 10 per cent rebate on 1974 taxes up to a
maximum of $2 0 0 for individuals. Provided tax cuts retroac­
tively to Jan. 1975 for both individuals and corporations.
Individual cuts were in the form o f increased standard d e­
ductions, a $ 30 exem ption credit, a 5 per cent housing credit,
an earned incom e credit for certain low -in com e fam ilies, and
an increase to 10 per cent in the investm ent tax credit for
corporations and public utilities. In addition to the increased
investment credit for corporations, a higher surtax exem ption
and normal tax rate decrease provided som e relief that was
partially offset by the phaseout o f percentage depletion on
011 and natural gas and increased lim itations on the use of
foreign tax credits in connection with incom e derived from
foreign oil and gas operations.

Quarterly Survey of
Bank Policies with Respect to Credit Use
In order to determine how banks have adapted
their lending policies in light of a statement
issued by the Federal Advisory Council in midSeptember 1974, the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System has conducted two sur­
veys of bank lending policies— one covering
December 1974 and one covering March 1975.
The results of the first survey were published

in the B u l l e t i n for March 1975, and results
of the second are included here. In light of
experience with the initial survey and because
of changes in economic and financial conditions
since late 1974, some modifications were made
in the questionnaire for March.
In the fall of 1974, when the Federal Advi­
sory Council published its statement, monetary

policy was restrictive, and credit availability at
banks was still quite restrictive in December of
that year. Since then, however, the situation has
eased considerably. In the initial survey twothirds of the respondent banks indicated that the
urgency of credit allocation problems in De­
cember was essentially unchanged from the sit­
uation in mid-September, but at the time of the
March survey three-fifths of the banks reported
that credit allocation had become a significantly
less urgent problem.
Bank responses to a series of qualitative
questions on the trend in numbers of loan appli­
cations and the proportion of such requests
approved in March, as compared with the nor­
mal March loan experience, are summarized in
Table 1. The results suggest a weakening of loan
demand in all the categories covered in the
survey, particularly in loans to businesses for
basic credit needs and for capital investment.
Whereas 13 per cent of the banks had reported
a significantly smaller-than-normal number of
applications for loans to meet basic credit needs
of businesses in December 1974, about 44 per
cent of the banks reported a decline in this
category in March. Three-fifths of the banks
indicated that demand for loans to finance pro­
ductive capital investment was significantly
smaller in March, in contrast to 24 per cent in
December 1974. Temporary liquidity problems
appeared to be less pressing in March, however,
since only one-quarter of the banks reported a
substantially larger-than-usual demand for such
loans, as compared with 51 per cent in De­
cember. About 90 per cent of the banks ap­
proved at least as many, or significantly more
than usual, business loan applications for these
purposes.
Applications for loans to finance homebuilding and consumer needs were again significantly
lower than normal for March at a majority of
the banks. In order to focus more clearly on
the problems of the housing sector, the second
survey included separate questions on con­
struction loans and on permanent mortgage fi­
nancing. In both areas loan demand was weak,
but banks were apparently somewhat more
willing to approve mortgage loans than con­
struction loans— a situation that undoubtedly
reflects the banks’ assessment of the risk of
financing firms in the housing industry.

Loans for purely financial or for speculative
purposes are normally an insignificant portion
of the loan portfolio, and between 20 and 30
per cent of the banks had no such loan applica­
tions in March. As in the previous survey,
almost 90 per cent of the banks surveyed ap­
proved a significantly
smaller-than-usual
proportion of such loans or none at all.
Changes in amounts outstanding of selected
loan categories from mid-January to mid-March
are given in Table 2 .1 Loans outstanding de­
clined over the 3-month period in all categories
except real estate loans, which remained vir­
tually unchanged. Loans to foreigners continued
to contract, while funds obtained from abroad
rose somewhat, resulting in an increase in fund
inflows to the United States.

1 The time period covered was intended to be con­
sistent with the intended quarterly timing of this and
the previous survey. It should be noted that the changes
in outstandings reflect loan repayments and takedowns
of loan com mitm ents that may have been made prior
to the survey period, as w ell as new loans for which
applications were received or processed during the pe­
riod covered by the questionnaire.

Statements to Congress
Statement by George W. Mitchell, Vice Chair­
man, Board of Governors of the Federal Re­
serve System before the Subcommittee on Com­
merce, Consumer and Monetary Affairs of the
Committee on Government Operations, U.S.
House of Representatives, June 25, 1975.
I am pleased to appear before you today to
present the Board’s views as to the use of
Federal Reserve credit facilities in providing
emergency assistance to financially troubled
cities. I want to state at the outset that we
interpret the System’s present powers to engage
in such lending operations, except as member
banks are involved, to be quite narrowly cir­
cumscribed by law.
The recent financing difficulties of New York
City provide a case in point. These difficulties
cumulated rapidly during this past winter and
spring and reflected the growing reluctance of
private investors to purchase the City’s short­
term note issues. Since the City already had a
very large amount of short-term debt outstand­
ing and was incurring a substantial current
operating deficit as well, any inability to issue
new debt raised immediate problems in finding
the cash to pay off maturing obligations and to
meet the City’s current bills. In searching for
alternative means of resolving the developing
financial crisis, there were at times suggestions
that the Federal Reserve might be a possible
source of credit in its role as an ultimate source
of liquidity to the economy. However, no ap­
plication for credit was received from the City,
either at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
or at the offices of the Board of Governors.
If a formal request had been received by the
Federal Reserve for the emergency credit ac­
commodation of New York City under the cir­
cumstances that had prevailed, however, I am
obliged to state that, in my judgment, the Fed­




eral Reserve would have had to turn it down.
The City had not fully exhausted possibilities
for State assistance, and its basic need for credit
did not appear to be of a temporary character
since no near-term means of repayment— while
continuing to provide the City’s basic ser­
vices— appeared to be at hand.
Direct extensions of emergency credit to in­
stitutions that are not members of the Federal
Reserve System can be provided under either
paragraph 3 or paragraph 13 of Section 13 of
the Federal Reserve Act. Paragraph 13 provides
that any Federal Reserve Bank, subject to such
regulations as the Board may prescribe, may
lend to any individual, partnership, or corpora­
tion on promissory notes secured by direct obli­
gations of the U.S. Government or an agency
thereof. Loans under this paragraph are limited
to 90-day maturities. Unless an entity in need
of assistance possesses large amounts of direct
Government obligations, the ability of a Reserve
Bank to provide credit assistance under this
paragraph is very limited.
Paragraph 3 of the Act empowers the Board
of Governors, in “ unusual and exigent circum­
stances” and by an affirmative vote of at least
five members of the Board, to authorize the
Federal Reserve Banks to make certain types
of direct loans to individuals, partnerships, or
corporations. Paper discounted by Federal Re­
serve Banks under this paragraph must be of
the “ kinds and maturities made eligible for
discount for member banks under other provi­
sions” of the Federal Reserve Act. This means,
among other things, that the paper may not have
a maturity of more than 90 days at the time
of discount. The paragraph further provides that
the paper shall be “ endorsed or otherwise se­
cured to the satisfaction of the Federal Reserve
Bank,” which the Board has construed to mean
that a Reserve Bank should ascertain that the

410

Federal R eserve B ulletin □ July 1975

security offered is adequate to protect the Re­
serve Bank against the risk of loss.
In light of these restrictions in the law and
the background as to the intent of the law, the
Board has concluded that in considering the
extension of emergency credit to particular bor­
rowers the following conditions must be met:
1. Unusual and exigent circumstances exist;
2. Potential borrowers have exhausted other
sources of funds;
3. Borrower is solvent and has adequate col­
lateral;
4. Borrower’s need is for short-term accom­
modation and its basic financial position will
permit early repayment; and
5. Failure to obtain Reserve Bank credit
would have a significant detrimental economic
and financial impact on the surrounding area,
the region, or the Nation.
These criteria highlight the essentially lowrisk and temporary character of System emer­
gency lending, as well as the general economic
purpose behind it. Such lending is intended
primarily to provide liquidity. Though short­
term needs of this type can develop among
either large governmental units or business en­
terprises, in most cases the need can be accom­
modated without relying directly on the Federal
Reserve simply by turning to commercial
banks— who will rely on their own or Federal
Reserve resources— to extend the needed credit.
When this is not possible, as seemed to be the
case with New York City, it is likely that the
difficulties encountered in the private credit
markets reflect more fundamental credit-risk
problems and that temporary credit accommo­
dation will not be sufficient to correct the situa­
tion.
In addition to the emergency lending powers
contained in Section 13 of the Federal Reserve
Act, Section 14(b) authorizes the individual
Federal Reserve Banks to purchase and sell
obligations t)f State and local governmental
bodies. The Act requires that these govern­
mental obligations mature in no more than 6
months from the date of purchase and that they
be issued in anticipation of the collection of
taxes or in anticipation of the receipt of assured
revenues.
The 14(b) authority had its origin in the



original 1913 version of the Federal Reserve
Act. The House of Representatives report on
the Act indicated that the provision was de­
signed to open an outlet through which idle
funds of Federal Reserve Banks could be profi­
tably channeled and to provide a means to
enable Federal Reserve Banks to make their
discount rate effective in the market at those
times when member bank borrowing was slack.
There is nothing in the Act or its legislative
history to indicate that this authority was in­
tended to be used as a channel for financial
assistance to public bodies. Moreover, such
authority has not been used since 1933 because
enactment of Section 10(b) permitted the Fed­
eral Reserve to advance credit to member banks
on the strength of their own promissory notes,
as well as through the discount of eligible paper.
Given this background, the Board does not
believe that Section 14(b) contemplates the pur­
chase of municipal obligations as a means of
aiding financially distressed communities.
In view of these existing constraints on Sys­
tem emergency lending, it may be asked
whether it would be desirable to legislate
broader powers that would permit Federal Re­
serve accommodation of financially distressed
communities. While the Board has not consid­
ered any specific proposals toward this end, I
would strongly caution against any proposals
that would provide direct access to central bank
credit by hard-pressed governmental units. My
reasons for reaching this judgment are as fol­
lows :
First, the critical issue for particular munici­
palities is how governmental functions and
sources of revenues are dispersed between it and
the State government. Prospective sources of
funds must be commensurate with the projected
costs and expenditure programs in order to bal­
ance out over the longer run. Access to a source
of temporary credit will not help to achieve such
a balance, and it may tend to defer or to prevent
the remedial actions that are necessary, difficult
as they may be.
Second, central bank involvement in provid­
ing temporary credit accommodation to State
and local governmental bodies will necessarily
require that standards be set determining which
localities will be eligible or ineligible for credit

Statements to Congress

411

accommodation. This would involve the System
in making credit judgments on the finances of
numbers of State and municipal governments,
thus subjecting the Federal Reserve to intense
political pressure to make exceptions for this
city or that because of special circumstances.
Moreover, the need to exercise administrative
discipline over borrowers in order to assure
timely repayment would tend to draw the Sys­
tem into political issues of local budgetary pol­
icy. A central bank, in our judgment, should
leave this issue to other agencies of the govern­
ment.
Third, increased access to central bank credit
by municipalities suffering some degree of fi­
nancial distress could lead to similar urgent
demands for credit by other kinds of borrowers.
If central bank credit is extended to our cities,
for example, why not for a host of other pur­
poses, such as the immense investment that will
be required to achieve energy independence? A
proliferation of demands for credit from the
central bank would drastically change the char­
acter of the assets of the Federal Reserve System
from prime paper of highest quality to an as­
sortment of soft loans and, in the process,
severely damage the Government’s access to
financing. It could undermine our ability to
control the volume of bank reserves and hence
the supply of money. In the extreme, the result
could be a debasement of the Nation’s money
and ruinous domestic inflation.
For these reasons, if your committee should
conclude that the financial pressures on key
municipalities require the provision of special
Federal financing assistance in the period ahead,
the Board would strongly urge that this be done

through a separate facility rather than through
the Federal Reserve. Federal monies or credits
would still be expended in any such venture,
but it would not involve the use of high-powered
central bank funds. Such a separation would
thus leave the Federal Reserve free to pursue
its other responsibilities for monetary and bank
regulatory policies, which are difficult enough
in themselves.
I would urge caution, however, even in pro­
posing the establishment of a special Federal
financing facility to assist with the financing
needs of our State and local governmental
bodies. Such a facility must have sufficient
oversight powers to permit it to play an effective
role in correcting the fundamental financial
problems of client communities, if the Federal
assistance is to be productive. This would be
bound to create a Federal presence in local
issues of taxation and spending, a varied and
shifting political and social terrain indeed.
In the spirit of our traditional system of sepa­
ration of powers, it may well be better to leave
local problems to local solutions. The special
program of financial assistance that was devel­
oped for New York City at the State level
through the formation of a new agency— the
Municipal Assistance Corporation— is an illus­
tration of State-local resourcefulness. The cor­
poration is authorized to provide up to $3 billion
in credit to the City and, as it does so, valuable
time will be gained in which the City can take
the steps needed to restore its credit standing
with the private investment community. I hope
that the City’s actions will soon make it possible
to carry on needed refinancing and other debt
operations in the normal manner.

formation. I do so purely in my personal capac­
ity.
There is widespread concern that the United
States is approaching a period of capital short­
age. More capital for investment will be needed
in the future than has been needed in the past.
Savings to finance this investment, on the other
hand, have been diminishing.

It is a great pleasure to address this distinguished
committee on the subject of taxes and capital



412

Federal R eserve B ulletin □ July 1975

Fortunately, the demand for capital is likely
to increase by only a small margin. Business
investment, which in the past had averaged
approximately 10.5 per cent of gross national
product, probably will have to average 11.5 per
cent in order to provide needed jobs, protect
the environment, assure the health and safety
of the labor force, and meet energy needs.
Meanwhile the capital requirements of home­
owners and of various types of urban con­
struction may diminish thanks to declining pop­
ulation growth, and less investment in inventory
may be needed as inventory control methods
improve.
The supply side of capital, on the other hand,
presents more serious difficulties. The continued
ability of the individual saver to supply capital
equal to a historic 4 to 5 per cent share of GNP,
to be sure, does not call for serious questioning.
The ability of corporate business, however, to
contribute to the flow of savings has been hurt
by the diminishing share of corporate profits in
the GNP and by the deteriorating quality of
these profits. Taking demand for and supply of
capital for the private sector as a whole, a deficit
very probably is ahead. To this private capital
deficit there may well have to be added a deficit
in the accounts of State and local authorities.
The Federal Government therefore will play
a decisive role in balancing the demand for and
the supply of capital. If the Federal budget
produces a sufficient surplus, this will offset
private plus State and local deficits. An over-all
capital shortage will have been forestalled. If
the surplus is too small or if, as has happened
before, the Federal budget is in deficit, we shall
confront a shortage.
The corporate sector suffers, in addition to
its weakened earnings, from serious financing
constraints that may impede financing of invest­
ment even if adequate savings are available.
Corporate liquidity has been drained. The capi­
tal structure of corporations has deteriorated,
with debt rising relative to equity, and short­
term debt rising relative to long-term debt. Both
conditions could be remedied by a variety of
measures that would improve corporate cash
flows and enable corporations to improve their
capital structure. Among them are such familiar
proposals as an enlarged investment tax credit,



depreciation facilities more realistically recog­
nizing inflation, an outright cut in the corporate
tax rate, and, at the individual taxpayer level,
adjustment of capital gains taxes for inflation
and a reduction in the capital gains rate for
longer holding periods. All these techniques
have advantages. They mostly share the disad­
vantage, however, of reducing the Treasury’s
revenue and of shifting the distribution of in­
come in the direction of greater inequality, or
at least of partly reversing a move toward
greater equality that may have occurred. A loss
of Treasury revenue, besides, means more
Treasury borrowing and to that extent does not
help resolve the capital shortage.
If we want to avoid a loss of revenue and
a shift in the income distribution, it would still
be possible to improve the capital structure of
corporations and facilitate financing. This could
be done by removing or reducing the bias in
favor of debt against equity that is a familiar
feature of the corporate tax system. Two
methods are available:
1. To eliminate the deductibility of interest
payments by nonfinancial corporations and so
to tax net operating income (income after de­
preciation but before interest) instead of, as
now, net income (income after depreciation and
interest). The tax rate then could be lowered
substantially without losing revenue.
2. To make dividends deductible, the same
as interest, and therefore to tax only retained
income, at a rate substantially higher than the
present rate.
Of these two approaches, I regard the first—
taxation of net operating income— as preferable,
because the second is essentially a tax on un­
distributed profits, which would require a num­
ber of complex provisions to keep it from be­
coming detrimental to capital accumulation and
growth. For the implementation of the tax on
net operating income, two methods are available
in order to avoid the severe impact on corpora­
tions with above-average debt that would result
from sudden nondeductibility of interest, even
at a moderate rate. These are:
1.
To phase in the change over a number of
years— a growing fraction of interest paid be­
coming nondeductible over time and a growing

Statements to Congress

fraction of dividends being taxed at the reduced
rate.
2.
Application of the tax change only to debt
and equity issued after enactment.
Method 1 (phasing in gradually) exerts only
limited pressure toward more equity financing
in the early years and for that reason seems less
desirable, even though it has administrative ad­
vantages. Method 2 would immediately end the
existing bias in favor of debt financing. It poses
administrative difficulties because in effect there
would be two tax rates, one on old debt and
equity and another on new. Regulations would
have to be written with a view toward closing
the obvious loopholes that such a situation
presents.
Financial intermediaries, whose principal
business consists in receiving and paying inter­
est, could be covered by either alternative only
by means of complex arrangements and it seems
preferable to give them entirely separate treat­
ment. This would seem appropriate also in view
of the lack of uniformity of the present taxation
of financial intermediaries.
The foregoing tax changes would improve the
structure of corporate capitalization and thereby
ease corporate financing. They would not, by
and of themselves, increase the supply of sav­
ing. The number of devices that have been
suggested to increase saving is large, and most
of them have been so thoroughly discussed that

Affairs of the Committee on Banking, Currency
and Housing, U.S. House of Representatives,

Mr. Chairman and members of the committee,
it is indeed a pleasure to have the opportunity
of appearing before this Subcommittee on Con­
sumer Affairs to present the Board’s views on
the Consumer Leasing Act of 1975, H.R. 4657.
The Board is particularly pleased to see legisla­

there is no need here to pass them in review. As
noted already, they share for the most part the
defect of making the distribution of income
more unequal. Among those that would have the
desirable effect of pushing the economy in the
direction of greater equality is the type of plan
that tries to convert employees into stock­
holders. Here again, a wide variety of models
have been presented. In my judgment, such
plans are desirable if they meet the following
criteria, in addition to giving the individual em­
ployee a share in the flow of corporate profits:
1. An increasing flow of equity funds for the
firm;
2. A tax arrangement that allows firms to treat
contributions made on behalf of its labor force
as part of tax-deductible wages, even though
these contributions were made in the form of
stocks;
3. Diversification of holdings for the benefit
of the stock-owning employees, to reduce the
risks of particular stock investments;
4. Protection against excessive concentration
of voting power in the hands of any particular
group; and
5. Ability of the stock-owning employee to
sell his stock, subject to some minimum holding
period.
I believe that plans of this kind deserve ex­
amination as part of the effort to increase the
supply of capital.

Lending for 1973, the Board pointed out several
disclosure problems in the area of consumer
leasing and suggested that the Congress might
wish to examine this rapidly expanding field.
The additional step of recommending legislative
provisions was taken by the Board in its Truth
in Lending Report for 1974, and I was gratified
to note that many of the provisions of the
Board’s proposal have been incorporated into
H.R. 4657.
I would like to state at the outset that the

414

Federal R eserve Bulletin □ July 1975

Board believes that consumer leasing is an ap­
propriate method of utilizing and, in some
cases, of purchasing consumer durables. Con­
sumer leasing has experienced rapid growth
within the last decade. This growing popularity
suggests that the public is increasingly coming
to view leasing as a viable alternative to credit
purchases for some products.
Available statistics on the growth of con­
sumer leasing indicate that the so-called “ bigticket durables” — such as automobiles, color
television sets, and homefurnishings— are the
most common goods leased by consumers. Au­
tomobiles presently constitute the most popular
leased goods, and this aspect of consumer leas­
ing will no doubt absorb much of the subcom­
mittee’s attention during its deliberations on this
legislation.
Automobile leasing has experienced rapid
growth over the past decade. According to sta­
tistics from the National Automobile Dealers
Association, in 1965 more than 1.5 million
automobiles, some 14 per cent of the total
number produced, were leased, and one-fifth of
this total was leased to individuals. By 1970
the percentage of automobile production that
was leased had grown to 24 per cent (2.6
million), more than a quarter of which repre­
sented leases to individuals. As of 1974, 2.8
million, about 26 per cent of the total number
of cars made, were leased, and 36 per cent of
this total was leased to individuals. Thus, over
almost a decade, the percentage of total auto­
mobile production leased to individuals has tri­
pled in size—from less than 3 per cent in 1965
to 9.2 per cent in 1974. Projections from auto
makers in Detroit, moreover, estimate that 80
per cent of the growth in leasing through 1980
will be seen in leases to individuals.
The Board’s concern with consumer leasing
is that presently, except for provisions made in
a few State statutes, there is no requirement that
a standardized aggregate cost disclosure be
given the consumer when he leases goods under
a long-term contract. The major purpose of the
Truth in Lending Act has been to facilitate
meaningful consumer shopping of the credit
market by providing standardized disclosures of
credit costs. Without comparable disclosures on
consumer leasing, it is difficult, if not impossi­



ble, for consumers to shop in the expanding
leasing market. Our hope is that the passage
of this type of legislation will help consumers
not only to compare leasing alternatives but also
to compare lease transactions with conventional
credit sales.
The need for comparability in disclosure be­
tween lease and credit transactions is particu­
larly important because many consumer leasing
arrangements now prevalent in the market are
essentially the equivalent of credit sales. The
terminology of the trade, for example, refers
to certain lease agreements as “ financing
leases.” The fact that many of these leases are
essentially equivalent to credit sales is not coin­
cidental. For example, both the Comptroller of
the Currency as to national banks and the Board
in its rules governing bank holding company
activities require that leases entered into by
these institutions be the functional equivalent of
a credit transaction and have thus limited the
asset risk that banks and bank-related lessors
may take in engaging in leasing operations.
These rules, designed to protect the safety and
soundness of banks in which the public deposits
its funds, have the effect of placing the risk of
any unforeseen deterioration or depreciation of
the product leased on the lessee. Thus, legisla­
tion to protect the consumer by requiring proper
disclosure of the consumer lessee’s risks be­
comes all the more important. Otherwise, the
lessee may unknowingly undertake nearly all the
burdens of ownership without the benefit of title
or adequate cost disclosures.
It is presently not possible as a practical
matter to require adequate cost disclosures on
leases under the Truth in Lending Act. The
Truth in Lending Act brings certain leases
within its disclosure requirements through the
definition of a credit sale contained in Section
103(g). However, these requirements apply only
with respect to those leases that contain provi­
sions permitting the lessee to become the owner
of the goods leased “ for no other or a nominal
consideration.” The Board might conceivably
expand this provision by adopting a broad defi­
nition of what constitutes nominal consid­
eration. However, this would still not accom­
plish the purpose of assuring that adequate cost
disclosures are given in all consumer leases,

Statements to Congress

such as those in which there is no option to
purchase. In addition, we believe that the num­
ber of leases with nominal purchase options is
quite small.
The focal point of the Board’s concern is thus
those long-term leases of personal property to
be used for personal, family, or household pur­
poses, which typically have a maturity ap­
proaching that of a credit-sale agreement, and
potentially bind the lessee to the payment of
an aggregate sum substantially equivalent to the
value of the goods leased. This does not include
the short-term convenience leasing such as
“ rent-a-car” arrangements.
We feel that standardized disclosures, com­
parable to those set forth under the Truth in
Lending Act, should be required for lease ad­
vertisements as well as for consumer lease
transactions. However, we do not believe that
rate disclosures, analogous to the annual per­
centage rate under the Truth in Lending Act,
are practical. The development of lease rate
disclosures is impractical, we feel, because of
the difficulty of determining what common costs
should be isolated in the computation of such
rates.
I would now like to comment on two sections
of H.R. 4657 that we regard as highly impor­
tant. The first is Section 183, which sets a
limitation on a consumer lessee’s liability. This
provision of the bill addresses the liability that
the lease may impose on a consumer lessee at
the end of the lease term. It is not uncommon
for consumer leases to provide that upon the
expiration of the lease the product will have a
stipulated depreciated value and will either be
purchased by the lessee or sold to an inde­
pendent party. Under the terms of such an
agreement, if the product is sold and brings less
than the depreciated value stipulated in the con­
tract, the lessee is liable for the difference; if
it brings more, the lessee is entitled to the
surplus.
For example, a typical 2-year auto lease on
a $5,400 car might call for 24 $100 instalment
payments and set an end-term depreciated value
of $3,000 on the car. Under such an agreement,
the lessee may have no understanding of how
much the lease may cost unless he can accu­
rately predict the second-hand market value of



415

the product. For example, in this case, the
depreciated value of the car might be $2,500,
which under the lease contract would leave the
lessee liable for an additional $500 “ balloon”
payment. Thus, if the contract sets an unrealistically high depreciated value on the leased
goods, the contingent liability of the lessee will
increase accordingly, and the lessor can offer
deceptively low monthly rental payments to an
unwary public.
Under Section 183 the lessee’s contingent
liability would be limited to twice the average
monthly rental payment, except for additional
charges imposed for lessee default or for dam­
age to the leased goods in excess of normal wear
and tear. The section is thus designed to protect
the consumer lessee in two ways. First, it is
designed to notify the consumer of his maxi­
mum contract liability under the lease. Sec­
ondly, by incorporating a monthly payment
factor into the computation of the maximum
end-term liability figure, the section seeks to
assure that the lessor will price the rental instal­
ments of the goods leased sufficiently high to
cover expected depreciation and thus avoid
leaving the consumer lessee with an unduly
large balloon payment at the end of the lease
term.
Let me reiterate at this point what the Board
stated in its 1974 Annual Report: We are not
committed to a 2-month formula. Another for­
mula, such as 3 months or 15 per cent of rental
payments over the life of the lease, may work
as well or better. The Board would hope that
whatever formula may be chosen will reflect
industry experience in accurately setting depre­
ciated values. However, we believe that some
limitation tied to instalment payments is highly
desirable. Such a limitation reflects the fact that
typically the lessor is better able to predict
residual values than is the lessee. In addition,
this limiting factor reduces the possibility of a
large contingent liability on the part of the lessee
and gives the lessee a “ bottom line” price tag
that may facilitate comparative shopping.
The second provision on which I would like
to comment is Section 105 of H.R. 4657. This
section places an effective date for this legisla­
tion as the first day of the second full calendar
month after the date of enactment. As we have

41 6

Federal R eserve Bulletin □ July 1975

mentioned before, we believe the time that the
Congress grants to an agency to implement a
given statute has a direct bearing on the quality
and effectiveness of the agency’s regulations.
We believe the 2-month period accorded under
H.R. 4657 is far too short to develop well-con­
sidered implementing regulations that are fair
to the lessee and lessor alike. Time for consul­
tation with both business and consumer groups
is needed. Time is also needed to comply with
the Administrative Procedure Act, which re­
quires publication of proposed rules for com­
ment. Responding comments must be carefully
analyzed. Finally, if the regulations are to be
properly complied with, industry must have
some time to study them and to change business

procedures. Therefore, the Board would re­
spectfully urge that a minimum of 12 months
be provided before this Act is to become effec­
tive.
In closing, I would like to commend this
committee for the action taken in this area. This
new and expanding alternative to credit pur­
chases, we feel, merits careful attention, and
we are confident that the Congress will provide
a statutory basis to assure that the consuming
public will have the necessary information to
make intelligent shopping decisions in lease
transactions. The Board, of course, stands ready
to assist in the implementation of such legisla­
tion, and I would be pleased to respond to any
of your questions.

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, before the Committee on Banking,
Housing and Urban Affairs, U.S. Senate, July

stockholders; however, they are required by the
bank supervisory agencies to file similarly de­
tailed income and balance sheet data subject to
disclosure.
In recent years, the bank supervisory agencies
have acted on several occasions to expand the
amount of individual bank financial data col­
lected and released to the public. We believe
that still more disclosure is needed at the present
time, and our reporting requirements will be
revised accordingly. Banking practices have
undergone rapid modification in recent years as
banks have accommodated to changes in the
“ state of the art” and to the economic environ­
ment, and further substantial changes are un­
doubtedly in store over the years to come.
Accordingly, I can assure you that the question
of disclosure will remain under continuing re­
view by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System and we stand ready to make
further adaptations in reporting as conditions
warrant.
While fully recognizing the need for disclo­
sure, we also have been aware that, as with all
worthy objectives of public policy, provision for
meeting the informational needs of the investor
involves certain costs. In extreme cases, those
costs could far outweigh possible benefits to the
investor that the additional information would
provide. For banks and other depositary institu­
tions with liabilities withdrawable on demand

I am pleased to appear before you today to
present the views of the Board of Governors
on the important question of disclosure of data
for investor analysis of banks and bank holding
companies. We approach this subject with full
appreciation of the need, as expressed in our
securities laws, for providing the investor with
sufficient public information to reach informed
opinions on the current and prospective financial
conditions of individual institutions.
The Board recognizes the primary role of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in
matters of disclosure for investor purposes.
Since 1964 when the Board was given respon­
sibility for certain disclosure provisions of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as they apply
to State member banks, our requirements have
followed substantially the counterpart regula­
tions imposed by the SEC on other corporations.
With respect to other banks, very similar dis­
closures have been imposed by the reporting
requirements of the other Federal bank supervi­
sory agencies. A great many banks are not
subject to the disclosure requirements of the
1934 Act because they have less than 500



Statements to Congress

or on short notice, disclosure requirements need
to guard against triggering unwarranted rumors
that could impel large outflows of funds. Thus,
the Board has approached the disclosure prob­
lem mindful of its statutory responsibilities as
a bank regulator and supervisor to maintain an
environment in which the banking system can
adequately serve the public interest.
In providing for investor informational needs,
the Board believes that the public interest will
be served most effectively if essential disclosure
is achieved as fully as possible through regular
reporting requirements imposed by Federal bank
supervisory agencies and the SEC. Only with
comprehensive, standardized, periodic reporting
can the necessary time series of financial infor­
mation be provided that will enable the investor
to discern significant trends in individual bank
performance and make an adequate assessment
of future prospects. Moreover, with such a
factual base, substantial changes or differences
in the performance of individual banks can be
examined in the broad context of contemporary
developments at comparable banks. More im­
portantly, a requirement of meaningful regular
reporting should help to minimize the need for
ad hoc disclosure at the time of proposed fi­
nancings. Such disclosure carries a risk that
individual banks issuing securities will be re­
quired to release types of information not avail­
able for other banks that might be misleading
or misinterpreted by the market.
The Board also believes that the major focus,
in constructing a disclosure framework for
banks and bank holding companies, should be
on earnings performance as reflected in the
income statement. Fundamentally, what the in­
vestor in any enterprise is purchasing is man­
agement ability and market opportunities. Over
time these are effectively reflected, in distilled
form, by earnings performance. In recent years
the undue attention that often has been focused,
by investors as well as management, on size
or “ footings” rather than on operating results
sometimes has led to misinterpretation of the
true picture of financial strengths or weaknesses
of banks and bank holding companies.
To effectively serve its informational func­
tion, the income statement should portray not
only what the bank or company has done but
also should reveal enough of the institution’s



417

sensitive vital signs so that the investor can
make an informed estimate of the prospective
income flows. The present income statement
required to be filed by all Federally supervised
banks provides extensive detail directed toward
meeting these needs. Included in such state­
ments are refined breakdowns of income and
expenses, loan loss and recovery experience,
provision of reserves against future losses on
loans and securities, and segregations of income
earned in certain specialized activities such as
foreign branch and trading account operations.
But even more income-statement detail now
seems desirable in order to enable the investor
to make an adequate assessment of future earn­
ings possibilities and to forecast an institution’s
ability to adjust to the more fluid market envi­
ronment that has been emerging. In particular,
we are contemplating additional reporting to
provide for:
1. A more comprehensive measure of the
cost to the banks of interest-sensitive funds,
2. A breakdown of loan charge-offs and re­
coveries, and
3. A measure of the effect on bank income
of loans that are past due or have otherwise been
subject to reduction or deferral of interest or
principal because of problems associated with
the borrower.
Detailed information regarding the composi­
tion of assets and liabilities of banks and bank
holding companies is also an important ingre­
dient for adequate investor analysis. Such data
are needed to aid in the interpretation of the
income statement, to determine trends and cur­
rent status of the bank’s operations, and to
appraise the bank’s liquidity, capital adequacy,
and general financial condition. The present
supervisory “ Call Report,” which includes over
100 separate asset and liability items, already
provides the bulk of the information needed for
these purposes.
Nevertheless, some additional balance sheet
reporting may now be advisable to reflect recent
changes in banking activity and in the environ­
ment in which banks operate. We have been
discussing possible major additions to regular
reporting subject to disclosure by at least the
larger banking organizations. These might in­
clude:

418

Federal R eserve B ulletin □ July 1975

1. A maturity breakdown for major cate­
gories of investments,
2. A classification of loans according to
whether the rate charged is fixed or floating,
3. A breakdown of the outstanding amount
of time deposits in denominations of $100,000
or more, and
4. Information on the amount of outstanding
loan commitments and the amount of outstand­
ing credit under those commitments.
More frequent reporting of income and bal­
ance sheet information also seems desirable for
adequate investment analysis in a rapidly
changing economic environment. Accordingly,
we are considering a requirement that reporting
of income, now required annually, be set on
a quarterly basis for large banks and semian­
nually for smaller banks. In addition, the spring
and fall Call Reports, which currently are less
detailed than those for June 30 and December
31, may be expanded to include the greater
detail.
As the committee is aware, the bank supervi­
sory agencies, at the request of the SEC, have
been participating in intensive interagency con­
sultations over the past 3 months for the purpose
of seeking a common understanding regarding
questions of appropriate financial disclosure for
banks and bank holding companies. I think the
group has made important progress toward that
goal. Substantial agreement has been reached
regarding the areas in which additional disclo­
sure is needed and most of the specific types
of information that would best meet investor
needs. All the agencies involved have shown
a keen awareness of the need to obtain increased
disclosures in ways that will minimize the risk
of misinterpretation or unjustified disturbance to
confidence.
The interagency coordinating group has been
grappling with highly complex issues, and some
further discussions will be necessary. We are
pressing forward as rapidly as possible, and
there is every reason to expect, on the basis
of progress to date, that we will soon be in a
position to publish both the new disclosure
guidelines and the revised bank reporting re­
quirements .
Many suggestions for increased bank and
bank holding company disclosures are being
offered in the course of these congressional



hearings. I would caution that, in evaluating
these suggestions, it is vital to take into account
a variety of considerations that bear on the
extent to which disclosure serves the public
interest. Certainly the investing public must
have access to all material information needed
for intelligent investment decision-making. But
unreasonable or excessively detailed demands
for information or requirements for disclosure
of information that might be misleading could
be counterproductive. Such demands could fail
to serve the interests of the investor, who is
the intended beneficiary. More importantly, they
might injure a bank’s depositors and borrowers,
and thus the general welfare of the community
that it serves. Finally, they could create an
unjustifiable and costly burden on the reporting
institution.
It is most important that the type and form
of disclosure imposed on banks be carefully
weighed so as to avoid undermining the will­
ingness of banks to assume risk or to avoid
eroding the confidence of depositors— a critical
determinant of banks’ ability to attract the funds
needed to finance lending activities. The evalu­
ation and assumption of risk are basic attributes
of commercial banking. Only if a bank is willing
to assume reasonable risks will it be able to help
its local community to grow and prosper. This
can be done prudently if the institution main­
tains adequate diversification, so losses are rel­
atively predictable, and if the bank’s charges
are commensurate with its costs, including the
risk of losses that may be incurred on its port­
folio of loans and investments.
We must keep in mind that some loan losses
are to be expected when a bank is fully serving
the needs of its customers. To overemphasize
disclosure of such losses could jeopardize the
depositor confidence so necessary to the health
and progress of a financial institution. Release
of information that the public has little or no
experience in evaluating may suggest possible
trouble at a bank or bank holding company and
thus bring on sizable deposit outflows, espe­
cially of impersonal money market funds. We,
therefore, have had to seek a fine balance be­
tween the attainment of the level of disclosure
needed for intelligent investor decision-making
and the avoidance of the kinds of information
that might damage the public interest in main­

Statements to Congress

taining stability and responsiveness in our
banking institutions.
Also of major significance, particularly at this*
juncture, is the potential impact that ill-conceived disclosure requirements might have on
the willingness and ability of banks to acquire
additional capital through public issuance of
securities. Owing to rapid asset growth in recent
years, capital positions at a number of banks
have approached minimum acceptable levels.
These banks need additional capital if they are
to participate fully in meeting the loan demands
that will be generated by vigorous economic
recovery. But they may not be willing or able
to raise the capital that is required, unless the
channels for long-term market financing are kept
free of artificial impediments.
In summary, we at the Board are well aware

of the need for full and meaningful disclosure
of the information on the affairs of individual
banks required for sophisticated and intelligent
investment analysis. We intend to call for such
disclosures, insofar as State member banks are
concerned, and we are confident that the other
agencies— all of which have benefited by the
deliberations of the coordinating group— will do
the same.
However, we are also most mindful of the
other public policy objectives that must be
served. The continued stability of our financial
system, the need to encourage reasonable risk
taking by our banking community, and the need
to raise the additional capital required to support
a vigorous expansion in bank lending in support
of economic recovery are among the most im­
portant of these other considerations.

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, before the Subcommittee on Financial

sirable degree of instability within the banking
system and of steps that might be taken to
reduce such proclivities. A number of our col­
leagues in Government have been engaged in
similar efforts as well. Many bank managements
have also been thinking through the implications
of recent financial events for their own institu­
tions. This degree of attention and concern
regarding the health of our banking system
attests to the critical role banking institutions
fill in our financial system and economy, and
it underlines the need to insure that no signifi­
cant weaknesses impair their continued well­
being.
Among those financial events of recent years
that have given cause for concern, the failure
of the Franklin National Bank looms large. The
circumstances leading to the demise of that
institution have already been publicly reported,
and therefore my statements on this matter will
focus primarily on the role played by the Federal
Reserve in cooperation with the other bank
regulatory agencies.
During the period from mid-May to October
of last year, the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York provided emergency credit assistance to
Franklin National Bank in amounts rising to a
peak total of $1,767 million. The actual

I am pleased to appear before this subcommit­
tee, on behalf of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, to discuss the broad
range of important banking regulatory and
supervisory matters concerning which your dis­
tinguished chairman has requested the Board’s
views.
The financial experiences of the last 2 years
have raised many significant issues with regard
to the regulation and supervision of the Nation’s
banking institutions. The need for a careful
review of those factors that might adversely
affect the stability of the banking industry has
been recognized by this subcommittee and other
committees of the Congress, by the Board, and
by the other banking regulatory agencies. As
I reported to this subcommittee in my testimony
of December 12, 1974, at the Board we have
undertaken a careful analysis of the key problem
areas that might tend to contribute to an unde­



420

Federal R eserve B ulletin □ July 1975

amounts loaned to Franklin varied from day to
day, depending upon its liquidity needs. The
Franklin National Bank was a member bank of
the Federal Reserve System; as such, it merited
the privilege of accommodation at our discount
window under the usual rules so long as it
remained solvent, and we were advised by its
primary bank supervisor that such was the case.
The sheer size of the loans to Franklin, how­
ever, was extraordinary.
The primary purpose of these loans to Frank­
lin was to prevent the immediate or imminent
closing of that institution because of its liquidity
problems. We believed that the closing of a
$5 billion bank such as Franklin could have
precipitated other bank failures with resulting
large losses for many individuals and business­
men and for the Federal Deposit Insurance Cor­
poration. This situation arose during a difficult
period for financial institutions and financial
markets; such a failure at that time could, in
our judgment, have had serious adverse conse­
quences for the stability of our Nation’s banking
system and for domestic and international fi­
nancial markets in general.
With these considerations in mind, Federal
Reserve credit, fully secured by Franklin Na­
tional Bank collateral, was extended to Franklin
to help offset the massive net withdrawals of
funds that developed as that bank’s difficulties
became generally known. Between May 8 and
October 8, 1974, when the bank was declared
insolvent, it suffered an outflow of funds
amounting to $2.8 billion— over half its total
“ footings.” By strenuous efforts, the bank suc­
ceeded in reducing its loans, investments, and
cash by $1.1 billion during this interval. The
eventual $1.7 billion in Federal Reserve credit
assistance was necessary to offset the balance
of the outflow.
During this 5-month period, the Comptroller
of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, and the Board of Governors, to­
gether with the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, were in frequent communication with
each other in a joint effort to arrive at a perma­
nent solution to Franklin’s difficulties. As you
know, the Comptroller has the statutory respon­
sibility of determining whether or not a national
bank is insolvent. Upon such a determination
of insolvency, the FDIC must be appointed as



receiver. The FDIC then proceeds with the
winding-tip of the bank’s affairs, seeking to
achieve an orderly transfer of the insolvent
institution’s assets and liabilities and as little
loss as possible to the deposit insurance fund
it administers.
In the Franklin case, the Comptroller began
consultations in May and June with major banks
that might have been capable of, and interested
in, acquiring Franklin by merger. In September
he obtained the additional advice of a financial
consultant in an effort to determine definitely
whether the bank could continue as a viable,
independent institution.
In July, foreseeing the possibility that Frank­
lin might have to be declared insolvent, the
Comptroller requested the FDIC to contact other
banking organizations that were potential pur­
chasers of Franklin’s assets and to develop a
plan to assist such a purchasing bank in a
transfer of assets and liabilities. The FDIC ac­
cordingly began negotiations with interested
banks to draft an acquisition proposal upon
which banks could bid competitively in the
event Franklin had to be declared insolvent.
Briefly, this plan, as it was developed, called
for the FDIC as receiver of Franklin to transfer
all of Franklin’s deposits and certain other lia­
bilities to an assuming bank; that bank would
be allowed to select assets of Franklin up to
an amount which, when added to the purchase
price bid, would equal the liabilities it assumed.
The assuming bank would be required to keep
most of Franklin’s offices open for at least 30
days. On its part, the FDIC would: (1) indem­
nify the assuming bank against losses from
unassumed liabilities; (2) advance supporting
capital to the bank in the form of a subordinated
note; and (3) in return for the New York Reserve
Bank surrendering its lien on the assets of
Franklin that were transferred to the assuming
bank, assume Franklin’s obligations to the New
York Reserve Bank, which would be repaid to
the extent possible out of the remaining assets,
but would in any event be fully repaid within
3 years whether or not sufficient collections had
been made at that time. This last provision
assured that no loss would be incurred by the
Federal Reserve System as a result of either its
emergency lending to Franklin or the purchase
by the New York Reserve Bank of Franklin’s

Statements to Congress

foreign exchange contracts. This latter purchase
had been undertaken by the Federal Reserve on
September 24, 1974, in order to forestall possi­
ble defaults on these contracts that could have
further seriously weakened confidence in foreign
exchange markets, which at that time had al­
ready been shaken by defaults by a well-known
German bank and by a succession of public
disclosures of foreign exchange losses by
Franklin and other banks throughout the world.
During the summer, one after another possi­
bility that would have permitted Franklin Na­
tional to continue as an independent institution
was investigated. By October 8, 1974, every
reasonable prospect of that kind had been ex­
plored and found inadequate. The Federal Re­
serve’s loan had served its purpose of enabling
Franklin to meet its day-to-day liquidity needs
up to that point, but the total was approaching
the limit of available collateral. The FDIC’s
plan for the transfer of Franklin assets and
liabilities was ready. In those circumstances, the
Comptroller declared the bank insolvent.1 The
FDIC as receiver thereupon proceeded to im­
plement its plan. The outcome of its negotia­
tions with possible purchasing institutions was
that European-American Bank and Trust Com­
pany purchased assets and assumed certain lia­
bilities of Franklin National.
An orderly transition has followed, although
it will be some time before all aspects of this
transition will be finally completed. While in
the end Franklin can be said to have failed, the
provision for the uninterrupted continuation of
its banking services through a successor institu­
tion minimized adverse repercussions.
Cooperation among the Federal bank regula­
tory agencies, combined with consultation with
the Treasury and the New York State Banking
Department, was instrumental in producing the
results I have outlined. Each agency had a
distinctive role to play, and each role generated
its own concerns. We at the Federal Reserve
were especially interested in the adverse market
attitudes and questions about banking soundness
that were being generated as the Franklin case

dragged on. We were concerned as to Franklin’s
vulnerability to any new shock that might come
along. And we had a painful awareness of how
Franklin’s debt to the Federal Reserve kept
climbing closer to the probable maximum loan
value of the acceptable collateral that the bank
could provide. For those reasons we at the
Federal Reserve urged that remedial measures
move forward as promptly as they could. The
Comptroller and the FDIC, respectively, with
their own statutory obligations to consider, had
to effectively exhaust alternative solutions short
of receivership and to document liabilities and
minimize losses insofar as time and circum­
stances permitted. It should not be surprising
that on occasions during those months the
agencies found that their preferred priorities for
actions differed. When such instances became
significant, however, hard work and good will
overcame them. Fortunately, no new external
shocks developed, and by the time Franklin was
determined to be insolvent a detailed and wellintegrated plan for its succession unfolded ef­
fectively. As nearly as can be judged at this
stage, not a cent of depositors’ or taxpayers’
money is expected to be lost in the process.
Although the Franklin National case was
concluded successfully, experience made it
clear that increased attention needed to be paid
to stronger preventive and follow-up measures
to reduce the possibility of similar situations
arising. Accordingly, the Federal Reserve Sys­
tem strengthened its program covering banks
under its jurisdiction to place increased empha­
sis on the identification, surveillance, and timely
resolution of current and potential problem bank
cases. This action had first priority among the
broad sweep of studies addressing key problem
areas in banking supervision and regulation that
I described in my testimony before this sub­
committee last December 12, and about which
I will be reporting to you later in my testimony
today.
Briefly, each Reserve Bank was asked,
among other actions, to make special efforts to
identify member banks in its district that were
or might be facing difficulties with regard to the
quality of their assets or the balancing of fi­
nancing needs with the prospective availability
of funds. Second, with respect to State member
banks, a greater than usual concentration of

422

Federal R eserve Bulletin □ July 1975

Federal Reserve examiner time and attention
was to be devoted to identified problem banks
during the remainder of 1974 and also through
1975. In each such problem bank case, an
appropriate and specific program for remedying
its difficulties was to be established, including
if need be direct discussions with the bank’s
directors to confirm the commitment of top
management to that task. Third, any member
banks experiencing unusual liquidity difficulties
because of a run-off of money market funds or
because of public concern about the condition
of the banks were to be informed of the basis
on which accommodation at the discount win­
dow would be made available.
The Federal Reserve has thus taken requisite
administrative steps to insure that greater em­
phasis is placed on identifying, monitoring, and
following up problem bank situations. It is hu­
manly impossible— and even undesirable— for
supervisors to prevent all bank problems; but
it is practical to aspire, as we do, to recognizing
problems early and moving promptly to try to
remedy them. There remains, however, a gap
in the range of feasible remedial actions that
could be undertaken if preventive measures
should somehow not succeed in forestalling a
bank failure. In that eventuality, the most de­
sirable ultimate action in most cases is for the
bank to be taken over by another bank. Bank
mergers, where permitted by State branching
laws, can sometimes serve this purpose effec­
tively. The alternative of bank holding company
acquisition of a failing bank, however, even
where permitted by State laws, is substantially
inhibited by two Federal statutory constraints.
One enforces certain time delays in the approval
and consummation of all bank holding company
acquisitions. The second effectively prevents
any holding company acquisition of banks
across State lines.
In our view, either or both of those limitations
can interfere with actions needed to protect the
public interest in some cases. Accordingly, the
Board has recommended to the Congress sub­
stantive statutory changes, now embodied in
H.R. 4008.
The first recommendation involves procedural
amendments to the Bank Holding Company Act
designed to permit the immediate or expeditious
consummation of a transaction under that Act



in certain problem bank and bank holding com­
pany situations. The second recommendation
would amend the Act to grant the Board au­
thority to approve an acquisition of a bank
across State lines by a bank holding company,
when the Board determines that a large bank,
or a bank holding company controlling a large
bank, is in severe financial difficulty, and the
public interest would best be served if the bank
involved were acquired by an out-of-State hold­
ing company. I will discuss each of these rec­
ommendations in turn, referring to the current
law, the main reason therefor, the key argu­
ments for changing the law at this time, and
the Board’s reasons for recommending the spe­
cific amendments proposed in H.R. 4008.
Certain time schedules for the provision of
notice and hearing2 were enacted as part of the
original Bank Holding Company Act of 1956,
as a compromise between giving bank charter­
ing authorities an absolute right to deny a hold­
ing company application to acquire a bank and
giving such authorities only an informal con­
sulting role vis-a-vis the Board’s final decision
in the case.
The Board in Section 1(1) of H.R. 4008 has
recommended, first, that the regular 30-day no­
tice period be shortened to 10 days if the Board
advises the supervisory authority that an emer­
gency exists requiring expeditious action. Sec­
ondly, Section 1(1) as proposed would give the
Board the authority to waive notice and hearing
requirements entirely if the Board finds that it
must act immediately on an application to pre­
vent the probable failure of a bank or bank
holding -company involved in the proposed
transaction.3 Both of these suggested amend­
2Under existing law , the Board, before approving an
application for the acquisition of voting shares or assets
of a bank under Section 3 of the Bank Holding Company
A ct, must: (1) give notice to the Comptroller of the
Currency if the applicant or bank involved is a national
or district bank or to the appropriate State supervisory
authority if the applicant or bank involved is a State
bank; (2) allow 30 days within which the view s and
recommendations of the Comptroller of the Currency
or the State supervisory authority, as the case may be,
may be submitted; and (3) if the supervisory authority
so notified files a written disapproval of the application
within the 30-day period, provide a hearing on the
application and base its decision on the record of that
hearing.
3The Board’s staff has noted that there apparently
was an inadvertent om ission in the printing of H .R .

Statements to Congress

ments parallel provisions subsequently enacted
in the Bank Merger Act—provisions that have
worked well in the nearly 50 instances in which
they have been used over the past 10 years.
In the Board’s judgment, the present require­
ment for 30-day notice to the relevant bank
supervisor is both burdensome and unnecessary
in the context of a problem bank or bank holding
company situation where the public interest re­
quires immediate or expeditious action. From
a practical standpoint, the primary supervisory
authority in such a situation would be actively
involved in the process of screening potential
acquirers and would also be desirous of having
an acquisition quickly consummated. Similarly,
the protracted hearing requirements in the case
of recommended disapprovals by the supervi­
sory authority are ill-suited to a failing bank or
bank holding company situation where the pub­
lic interest demands that decisions be made
quickly on the basis of available evidence.
There is an additional statutory delay to be
dealt with. Under existing law, the Board must
immediately notify the Attorney General of any
approval of a proposed bank acquisition,
merger, or consolidation transaction under Sec­
tion 3 of the Bank Holding Company Act, and
such transaction may not be consummated be­
fore the 30th calendar day after the date of
approval by the Board.
This requirement was added to the Bank
Holding Company Act in 1966 in order to
conform with the standard consummation pro­
cedures being established in the Bank Merger
Act. The purpose of the provision was to elimi­
nate conflicts between the Board’s decisions
under the Bank Holding Company Act and the
Attorney General’s enforcement of the antitrust
laws, which might otherwise require the un­
winding of a transaction after that transaction
had been approved under the Bank Holding
Company Act.
4008 and H .R . 5331, as the bills provide that notice
and hearing requirements may be dispensed with if the
Board finds that it must act imm ediately “ to prevent
the probable failure of a bank holding com pany” in­
volved in the transaction. This provision should read
“ to prevent the probable failure of a bank or bank
holding com pany” involved in the transaction. Thus,
it is recommended that page 3, line 17, of H .R . 5331,
and page 3, line 11, of H .R . 4008 be amended by
inserting “ bank or” before “ bank holding com pany”
in each such line.




423

However, the Bank Merger Act provides for
an exception to this delay in problem cases,
while the Bank Holding Company Act does not.
The Board is recommending that, in cases in­
volving problem banks or bank holding compa­
nies, the consummation procedures of the Bank
Holding Company Act be fully conformed to
those in the Bank Merger Act. Accordingly, it
is proposed that, when the Board has advised
a supervisory authority of an emergency requir­
ing expeditious action, consummation be per­
mitted five calendar days after the date of ap­
proval. In cases where the Board has found that
it must act immediately to prevent the probable
failure of a bank or bank holding company, it
is recommended that immediate consummation
be permitted. In the Board’s judgment, there
appears to be no public policy reason for not
having parallel consummation procedures for
bank mergers and bank holding company ac­
quisitions in problem bank situations, since the
same reasons exist for not waiting 30 days for
the Attorney General’s competitive judgment in
both cases. As a practical matter, the Federal
banking agencies in such situations have regu­
larly followed the practice of informally con­
sulting with the Attorney General in advance
in any case large enough to raise substantial
competitive questions.
By effectively eliminating bank holding com­
panies from bidding in emergency bank situa­
tions, the existing statutory delay provisions in
the Bank Holding Company Act have unneces­
sarily limited the number of potential acquirers
of a problem bank. This can increase the anti­
competitive risks in such acquisitions by often
limiting the pool of potential acquirers to banks
already in direct competition with the problem
bank, for example, in the case of Franklin
National Bank, other New York City banks. The
holding company can be a procompetitive form
of bank expansion, and its use should not be
effectively foreclosed in infrequent problem
bank situations because of delay requirements
not similarly imposed in bank mergers. Waiver
of the usual delay provisions undoubtedly would
be warranted in only a small number of cases,
and in those cases the waiver should produce
net public benefits.
Another— and more sensitive— constraint on
bank holding company acquisitions is geo­

424

Federal R eserve Bulletin □ July 1975

graphical in nature. Under the Bank Holding
Company Act, the Board may not approve any
further acquisition of a bank by a bank holding
company across State lines.4 This provision was
made part of the original Bank Holding Com­
pany Act of 1956 in order to halt the further
expansion of several large multi-State bank
holding companies then in existence. It was
based in large part on the concern of the Con­
gress, that, unless this trend were halted, wide­
spread and frequent acquisitions by major bank
holding companies could eventually lead to an
undue concentration of banking resources in the
United States. In particular, it was thought that,
absent this provision, holding companies would
be used to avoid the multi-State branching pro­
visions of the McFadden Act, and thus it was
also intended to preserve the rights of the States
in this area.5
The Board is of the opinion that Section 3(d)
could, in the case of a large problem bank or
a problem bank holding company controlling a
large bank, operate in contravention of both
national and local interests. The limitation to
in-State bidders may, in the case of a large
problem bank, severely limit the number of
potential acquirers and result in an increased
concentration of banking resources within a
State— contrary to the intent of the Congress in
4The precise words of Section 3(d) provide that the
Board may not approve any application under Section
3 of the Bank H olding Company Act:
. . which
will permit any bank holding company or any subsidiary
thereof to acquire, directly or indirectly, any voting
shares o f, interest in, or all or substantially all of the
assets of an additional bank located outside of the State
in which the operations of such bank holding com pany’s
banking subsidiaries were principally conducted on July
1, 1966, or the date on which such company became
a bank holding company whichever is later.”
5Under the terms of this provision, a bank holding
company can only acquire a bank outside of its principal
State if the State in which such bank is located takes
action to specifically permit such acquisition. If a State
took such action, the Board would still have to decide
the application under the statutory standards of the Bank
H olding Company Act. At the time of this A ct’s passage
in 1956, no State granted such permission. Except for
Iowa, which has enacted a law giving a single grandfa­
thered multi-State bank holding company permission to
acquire additional banks in that State, and M aine, which
recently enacted a law that would allow acquisition of
a M aine bank by an out-of-State bank holding company
if a Maine bank holding company is given reciprocal
rights in that holding com pany’s State, the situation
remains essentially unchanged with no other States
granting such perm ission.




passing the Bank Holding Company Act. In
most of our States the number of locally owned
banks that are big and strong enough to absorb
a large problem bank are very few. The only
smaller banks strong enough to undertake such
a venture may be those affiliated with powerful
commercial or financial interests domiciled ei­
ther in this country or abroad.
The problem created by the constraints im­
posed by Section 3(d) has been sharpened as
banks, particularly large banks, have moved
increasingly from asset to liability management.
This shift in emphasis has led many larger
institutions to search far afield for money market
funds. While this has often been of considerable
benefit to the customers and communities they
have served— particularly in those areas where
widespread branching is not permitted and local
deposit generation is thereby limited— liability
management has increased banks’ exposure to
the risks created by any substantial net outflow
of such nonlocal and often volatile funds.
When adverse news triggers enough outflows
of funds to significantly weaken a bank, it may
become necessary in the public interest to fold
it into a larger and stronger institution. As you
know, this occurred in New York and Califor­
nia, where big in-State banks were available to
acquire the problem banks involved. Had insti­
tutions of the size of Franklin National or of
the United States National Bank of San Diego
failed in many other States, however, no banks
in those States would have been large enough
to acquire them. In such circumstances, the need
to be able to arrange acquisitions across State
boundaries would become very real.
The Board therefore recommends several
amendments to the Bank Holding Company Act
designed to permit out-of-State acquisitions in
certain emergency and failing bank situations
involving a large bank or bank holding company
controlling a large bank. Under Section 1(3) of
H.R. 4008 as proposed, the Board would have
the authority to make exceptions to the multiState prohibitions of Section 3(d) whenever the
Board finds that an emergency requiring expe­
ditious action exists with respect to a bank or
bank holding company, or that it must act im­
mediately in order to prevent the probable fail­
ure of a bank or bank holding company. The
proposed authority would be limited, however,

Statements to Congress

to cases involving a bank having assets in excess
of $500 million or a bank holding company
controlling a bank having assets in excess of
$500 million. There are three basic reasons for
limiting this authority to the case of a large bank
or bank holding company controlling a large
bank: first, the failure of such an institution can
have damaging effects in both national and
international markets and on the national econ­
omy; secondly, there may be few, if any,
prospective acquirers of such an institution
within any State; and thirdly, the most likely
in-State acquirers are likely to be institutions
of comparable or greater size, which might often
pose problems under the antitrust laws and
threaten an increased concentration of banking
resources within the State.
The Board chose a $500 million asset cutoff
figure because it would cover major money
center and regional banks— whose failure might
have an adverse effect on regional, national, or
even international financial markets— but yet
would not be so extensive an exception as to
create a potentially significant loophole to the
multi-State prohibitions of the Act. Also, in
cases involving smaller problem banks, local
acquisitions, where appropriate, can be more
readily arranged by the FDIC and State authori­
ties than can transfers of the liabilities and assets
of large institutions.
The choice of any cutoff figure involves
various public policy considerations by the
Congress. The Board stands ready to supply the
subcommittee with additional data on this issue
if that would be helpful. On the basis of data
prepared by the Board’s staff, a $500 million
cutoff would cover not only the large money
center and regional banks but also, in most
cases, the largest bank in any State.6 From our
analysis of cases in which emergency or failing
bank procedures have been used under the Bank
Merger Act, it appears only three banks ac­
quired under immediate or expeditious action
procedures have had assets in excess of $500
million (Security National Bank of Long Island,
Franklin National Bank of New York, and
6From the Board’s figures, it appears this asset cutoff
would include some 210 commercial banks across the
country, including the largest bank in 39 States and the
District of Columbia, and the two largest banks in 35
States and the District of Columbia.



425

United States National Bank of San Diego).
Thus, the Board anticipates that this provision
would be applicable in only a handful of cases
where there may be significant effects upon the
national and international economy.
Under Section 1(3) of H.R. 4008, the Board
could use this authority to approve a multi-State
acquisition only when it finds, in weighing the
statutory competitive and other factors, that the
public interest would best be served if the bank
or banks involved were acquired by an out-ofState bank holding company. The Board thus
anticipates that this authority would rarely be
used and only in cases presenting very special
circumstances, such as those involving Franklin
National Bank. In our view, these relatively rare
situations would not contravene the central pur­
pose of the multi-State prohibition of the Bank
Holding Company Act, which was directed at
preventing large concentrations of financial re­
sources through frequent multi-State acquisi­
tions of banking institutions.
The Board is sensitive to the fact that the
prohibition on multi-State branching was de­
signed to prevent the evolution of a few large
banking institutions. While there would be only
a very limited number of instances in which the
Board would consider making exceptions to
Section 3(d), the amending language could be
narrowed even more than was originally sug­
gested. A strict limit could be placed on the
number of acquisitions any single bank holding
company would be allowed to make under such
an exception. This limit should be more than
one, in order not to encourage potential bidders
to wait until an ideal acquisition opportunity was
presented, but it could be less than five, in order
to forestall excessive expansions of financial
power. In our view, this kind of limit would
serve to preclude any possibility of undue con­
centration of economic resources being created
through exceptions to Section 3(d).7
7As a corollary to its recommended amendment of
Section 3(d), the Board has felt it necessary to also
recommend an amendment in Section 2 of H.R. 4008
overriding certain provisions of State law in situations
involving a problem bank or bank holding company
where expeditious or immediate action is required.
Section 7 of the Bank Holding Company Act reserves
to the States their rights to exercise such powers and
jurisdiction that they now or in the future may have
with respect to banks, bank holding companies, and
subsidiaries thereof. In problem bank or bank holding

426

Federal Reserve Bulletin □ July 1975

The distinguished chairman of this subcom­
mittee has also introduced H.R. 5331, a bill that
embodies the Board’s recommended procedural
amendments to the Bank Holding Company
Act, but which omits the recommended amend­
ments to the multi-State prohibitions of the Bank
Holding Company Act. I hope I have said
enough here this morning to make clear why
the Board believes that the public interest would
best be served if the Congress enacted both the
procedural and multi-State amendments sug­
gested. We defer to the Congress on the ques­
tion of whether these amendments might better
move through the legislative process separately
or linked together. We do believe that they can
eliminate what might otherwise at some time
prove to be a fatal constraint upon the regula­
tors’ ability to preserve a problem bank’s serv­
ices rather than to close it.
Having discussed the reasons why the Board
believes that the proposals contained in H.R.
4008 would be particularly helpful to the Board
company situations, the normal circumstances that may
have led a State to enact a statute prohibiting the
formation of bank holding companies within its borders
or otherwise restricting the entry of out-of-State bank
holding companies do not apply and therefore such
provisions should not be controlling when the Board
has approved such application under the immediate or
expeditious action provisions recommended in H.R.
4008. In such cases, the national interest argues that
Federal law be supreme. In practical terms, even though
a State may favor an acquisition by an out-of-State
holding company approved by the Board under its
immediate or expeditious action provisions as an alter­
native to failure, it would probably be impossible either
for a State legislature to enact in time any necessary
amendments to its laws, or for a State court to interpret
the terms of an unclear statute. The delays involved
in trying to pursue either of the above courses of action
could be crucial. Section 2 of H.R. 4008 would solve
these problems by providing that in any case where the
Board has approved an application under the immediate
or expeditious action provisions of H.R. 4008, the
holding company may acquire and operate the bank
involved as a subsidiary notwithstanding Section 7 or
any provision of State law that would otherwise prevent
the acquisition or restrict the operations of that holding
company.
Section 2, however, leaves intact State restrictions
on multibank holding companies, so that an out-of-State
bank holding company that acquired a bank with the
Board’s approval under the immediate or expeditious
action provisions could not gain a competitive advantage
over an in-State holding company by acquiring a second
bank under those provisions. The McFadden Act re­
strictions on multi-State branching would not be affected
by Section 2 of H.R. 4008 as such restrictions are a
matter of Federal law.



in dealing with problem bank or bank holding
company situations, I would like to proceed to
comment on the other studies that the Board
has been conducting to develop better means
for preventing such situations from occurring
and resolving them as effectively as possible if
they should arise. You may recall that in my
testimony before this subcommittee on De­
cember 12, 1974, I described the general scope
of our efforts and the problem areas on which
we were focusing our attention: the attenuation
of bank capital produced by the rapid expansion
of bank assets; bank liquidity problems, partic­
ularly heavy reliance on liability management,
the consequent creation of highly interest-andconfidence-sensitive instruments, and the mak­
ing of excessive loan commitments; a deterio­
ration in the quality of bank assets; increased
foreign exchange risks; and increased risk of
losses in bond trading departments of banks. (A
final problem area that I touched upon at that
time related to the need for more expeditious
resolution of problem bank cases, but I have
already commented on that subject in my pre­
vious discussion of the proposals contained in
H.R. 4008.)
The Board expects very shortly to place be­
fore the Congress several proposals for legisla­
tive action that are designed to equip us, and
the other bank regulatory agencies, to accom­
plish better our goal of more effective preven­
tion of potentially unsafe or unsound practices.
These proposals are now in the final stages of
discussion among the Board, the FDIC, and the
Comptroller of the Currency. I would like to
outline the major ones briefly for this subcom­
mittee to give you a clearer sense of the thrust
of our efforts.
The first of the proposals we expect to be
bringing before you is directed primarily at
strengthening the penalties in statutes imposing
constraints on transactions among the banking
subsidiaries of bank holding companies, their
parent firms, and other affiliates. It seeks,
through amendment of the Federal Reserve Act,
to subject member banks and their directors,
officers, and employees, or agents to penalties
for violations of, among other provisions, Sec­
tions 22 (relating to transactions between mem ­
ber banks and their directors and loans to exec­
utive officers) and Section 23A (involving loans

Statements to Congress

and investments in affiliates). Another provision
of this proposal would amend the Bank Holding
Company Act to permit the Board to seek the
imposition of civil penalties on companies or
individuals that violate the Act. This provision
would, we believe, increase significantly the
deterrents to unlawful or unsafe transactions
within bank holding companies.
A second proposal addresses the problem of
possible misuse of bank assets by insiders.
Under this proposal, Section 22 of the Federal
Reserve Act would be amended to aggregate
loans by a member bank to an officer, director,
or significant stockholder and to any corpora­
tions that such person controls for purposes of
applying legal lending limits. This proposal
would limit the amount that could be loaned
to all interests controlled by one individual to
the same amount as could be loaned to that
person alone.
A third proposal would strengthen the
B oard’s authority to institute executive removal
actions designed to prevent the continuation of
unsafe and unsound banking practices. Amend­
ments would be made to Section 8 of the Fi­
nancial Institutions Supervisory Act to eliminate
the current requirement that acts of personal
dishonesty be involved before officers or direc­
tors of a banking institution can be removed by
a bank regulatory authority. This change would
permit such individuals to be removed for gross
mismanagement in the form of practices that
threaten substantial financial harm to the bank.
A fourth proposal would give the Board au­
thority to order divestiture of subsidiaries of
bank holding companies when continued own­
ership of a bank holding company constitutes
a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness,
or stability of the bank holding com pany’s sub­
sidiary bank or banks. While such action by the
Board would undoubtedly be taken only in the
most serious situations, we believe the ability
to require such divestitures is an important one
for the Board to have. Its existence alone should
serve as a strong deterrent to dangerously unsafe
actions by bank holding company manage­
ments.
We believe that these proposals, and others
that may be forthcoming as a result of discus­
sions with our colleagues in the other Federal
bank regulatory agencies, will be of substantial



427

assistance to us in implementing a program of
preventive measures that should prove ex­
tremely helpful in reducing the possibilities of
future unsound banking practices.
The studies that the Board has been pursuing
not only have produced the legislative proposals
that I have described but have also led us to
undertake a series of administrative and regula­
tory actions, all designed to assist us in pre­
venting troublesome situations from materi­
alizing in the key problem areas we have iden­
tified. The Board has thus taken steps within
the scope of its current authority to detect po­
tential banking problems at an early stage in
their development.
One of the first of these actions I have already
mentioned— the step taken last fall to improve
surveillance of troublesome bank cases.
A second step to promote early detection of
such cases was taken earlier this year when an
interagency early warning system was instituted
by the Board in cooperation with the Federal
and State banking supervisory agencies. This
system has enabled all the relevant bank regula­
tors to be promptly aware of any adverse find­
ings uncovered in supervisory examinations of
bank holding companies or the bank subsidiaries
thereof.
In this same area of problem bank and bank
holding company situations, the Board has for­
mally adopted guidelines delineating a gradu­
ated range of alternative procedures to be im­
plemented in correcting problem bank holding
company cases. This step has served to set out
clearly and systematically the corrective actions
that the Board and the Reserve Banks had al­
ready begun to employ in remedying difficult
cases.
In the area of foreign exchange operations at
banks, we have recognized that floating ex­
change rates have increased the risk of potential
losses (or gains) on a given size net open posi­
tion in foreign currencies. In addition, the
danger of losses occurring as a result of poor
judgment at the management level or as a result
of unauthorized trading under inadequate inter­
nal controls probably increased with the growth
in the worldwide volume of foreign exchange
market transactions— in which a growing num­
ber of U.S. banks participated.
To assess better the level of foreign exchange

428

Federal Reserve Bulletin □ July 1975

risks now faced by U.S. banks, a review has
been conducted by the Board, in consultation
with the Comptroller, of the operations of a
sample of banks engaged in such activities. As
a result of this survey, we have concluded that
additional legislative authority is not required
to improve the supervision of banks’ foreign
exchange operations. Steps have been taken to
encourage banks, where necessary, to utilize
more adequate internal audit and control proce­
dures. Furthermore, because of the special vul­
nerability of foreign exchange activities, the
Federal Reserve is working closely with the
Comptroller to improve the surveillance of these
bank operations, through examinations and re­
porting systems. Perhaps the most encouraging
information I can relay to you in this field,
however, is the stream of reports we are receiv­
ing that bank managements of their own volition
have sharply tightened their prudential controls
over their foreign exchange departments.
Studies are continuing on methods of im­
proving the entire range of bank examination
practices and procedures, including the use of
sophisticated reporting and management infor­
mation systems to supplement the bank exami­
nation process. Work is going forward on means
of detecting and limiting excessive loan com­
mitments and other off-balance-sheet promises
to lend that may expose banks to undue liquidity
pressures. Still other work is focused on
methods to detect and discipline poor quality
bank loans more effectively. Ways are also
being sought to better limit the level of risk
exposure in banks’ bond trading activities.
As I mentioned previously, the Board has
been much concerned with problems associated
with the attenuation of bank capital and pres­
sures placed on bank liquidity. Additional work
is therefore under way at the Board to develop
better standards of what constitutes “ adequate”
liquidity, both for our own better guidance and
that of member banks. The Board has also
recently restructured reserve requirements on
time deposits to encourage more prudent liquid­
ity management at banks.
Earlier this month the Board released for
comment guidelines that we propose to apply
in evaluating requests for approval of new sub­
ordinated debt issues by State member banks.
These guidelines were issued in connection with




proposed regulatory changes to permit greater
flexibility by banks in the issuance of notes and
debentures to bolster their capital structure.
We anticipate that application of these pro­
posed criteria should tend to promote the prac­
tice by State member banks of issuing new debt
on an adequate cushion of equity capital. The
guidelines should also help to prevent banks
from unduly concentrating their maturing debt
in any one year. In addition, these guidelines
are intended to prevent the inclusion of terms
in such debt issues that could be regarded as
being in conflict with the public interest.
If we are successful in accomplishing those
objectives with regard to issues of new subordi­
nated debt by banks, we believe that the prob­
lems connected with the attenuation of bank
capital that has been experienced over the past
decade should be noticeably ameliorated.
I would also like to report briefly on the
progress of the Board’s efforts to improve bank
holding company supervisory and regulatory
policy over the longer run. I am pleased to say
that considerable headway has been made in
designing and moving to initial implementation
of a more systematic analytical program to
monitor bank holding companies’ operations
more closely. Reporting schedules have been
developed to feed timely information covering
the full range of bank holding companies’ ac­
tivities, including intracompany transactions,
into a partially computer-based analytical sys­
tem that is being designed to focus immediate
attention on potential problem situations as they
evolve. The information capability the Board
will possess once this work has been completed
should improve our capacity to detect and cor­
rect bank holding companies’ problems at an
early stage of their development.
The Federal Reserve is also endeavoring to
look more broadly at the bank holding company
movement as it has unfolded from 1970 to 1975.
We are trying to determine to what extent, if
any, bank holding companies and their expan­
sion into nonbanking areas may have contrib­
uted to financial strengths and financial difficul­
ties. We expect that this effort will shed some
useful light on a subject that has at times stimu­
lated sharp divergences of views.
I should also note that the Board has reviewed
the recent and prospective growth of foreign-

Statements to Congress

owned banking operations in this country and
their proper place in our structure of banking
supervision. While I do not propose to cover
all the details of that complex subject today,
I would point out the Board’s conclusion that
all banks, branches, and agencies that are lo­
cated in the United States but owned by foreign
banking institutions would be most effectively
and equitably regulated if they were brought
under the provisions of the Bank Holding Com­
pany Act. The proposed legislation we have
forwarded to the Congress in this area (H.R.
5617) contains provisions to this effect.
In looking back on this recent work the Board
has done to strengthen our supervision and reg­
ulation of the Nation’s banking institutions, the
need for a large number of changes— some
legislative, some regulatory, many administra­
tive— has become evident. Some of these
needed changes have been minor, others have
seemed sufficiently complex or significant to
warrant taking the time of this subcommittee
to report. At this juncture in the history of our
Nation’s banks, the severe pressures to which
those institutions were recently subjected have
been significantly reduced. We are now at a
point where it is possible, as it was not then,
to consider and to undertake a range of prudent
reforms to further strengthen our banking insti­
tutions and thereby to help insure the continued
well-being of this country’s vital banking sys­
tem.
All the faults we have found were not in the
banking system, however; we have found some
shortcomings in ourselves as well. Focusing as
we have on the key banking problem areas has
also helped us to understand more clearly in
what ways inadequacies in the structure of bank
regulation itself may have contributed to the
development of some of these problems.
When I testified before your subcommittee
last December, I mentioned then that the con­
cluding project in the Federal Reserve studies
would be possible reforms of the Federal bank
supervisory agencies. In the light of the work
just described that has been pursued in other
areas, we have turned our attention within the
Board to the structure of the Federal banking
agencies. We are also consulting with other
agencies on this subject.
As you might imagine, there have been a



429

good many alternatives to be analyzed and many
considerations to be explored. It might be in­
formative to your subcommittee if I were to
summarize the more plausible and thought-pro­
voking alternatives we have considered, and
outline what seem to be the key advantages and
disadvantages of each. One cautionary note is
in order, however, before I proceed. In this
delicate subject area, there are few points on
which facts can prove that one view is right
and another wrong. Most of the major questions
are matters of judgment, usually involving
speculation as to what might happen were things
to be done differently. Sometimes these are
judgments on which reasonable men can and
do differ. I cannot eliminate that ambiguity; I
can only report to you the judgments of the
majority of the Board as plainly as I can.
At one end of the spectrum of alternatives
that we considered was consolidation of all
Federal supervisory and regulatory functions.
A number of advantages would undoubtedly
accrue from an effective consolidated Federal
bank supervisory agency. The principal benefits
we perceive are the following:
1. Such an agency would bring about uni­
formity in Federal regulation, supervision, and
examination of banks. In addition it would result
in uniformity on decisions concerning merger
and branching applications.
2. Presumably such a consolidation would
eliminate some duplication of efforts and lead
to a more efficient use of supervisory and ex­
amination personnel. It would also remove any
problems arising out of consultations between
the agencies and resulting delays in decision­
making.
3. We also believe there could be advantages
from the development of consistent data that
would permit fuller analysis of the banking
industry as a whole and permit more prompt
identification of developments that might affect
the stability of the banking system.
4. Finally, the consolidation of three Federal
agencies into one would preclude the possibility
of banks changing their organizational status in
order to obtain more favorable treatment from
a different Federal supervisor.
Objections to consolidation take several
forms, such as:
1. A single Federal supervisory agency would

430

Federal Reserve Bulletin □ July 1975

be very powerful and might have a tendency
to stultify the ability of commercial banks to
adapt to changing circumstances or be incon­
siderate of the equities of the parties affected
by its rules. At the least, it would result in the
elimination of most of the checks and balances
inherent in our present bank regulatory struc­
ture, which do limit the power of individual
supervisors.
2. One agency would not offer as great a
possibility for experimentation and innovation
in bank regulations and supervisory procedures
as now exists when three agencies divide the
Federal responsibilities.
3. Changing from the present arrangement to
a single Federal agency could produce some
serious transitional problems, such as the possi­
bility of losing some of the valuable experienced
examination and supervisory personnel now in
the individual agencies. Serious personnel
problems could develop in meshing the three
present Washington and field-based forces.
Particular problems are also presented in
considering in which agency consolidation
should take place. For example, a majority of
the Board of Governors would have some con­
cern about consolidation in a new agency or one
outside of the Federal Reserve System. The
experiences of recent years have made members
of the Board of Governors particularly con­
scious of the importance of involvement in bank
supervision and regulation in the consideration
of monetary policy. We believe that the condi­
tion of the banking system and information
about individual banks is an important input for
monetary policy formulation that would be lost
or substantially reduced if the Federal Reserve
had no role in the regulation or examination
functions.
On the other hand some in the System have
reservations about the consolidation of these
functions in the Board of Governors. They are
concerned that adding the responsibility for all
bank supervision and regulation to the existing
Board responsibilities might detract from the
time and attention given to the Board’s primary
responsibility, monetary policy.
At the other extreme, we considered retaining
the present regulatory and supervisory system.
By and large the advantages and disadvan­
tages of this alternative are the converse of those



listed for consolidation. In summary, the present
regulatory system permits more innovation and
experimentation in new bank activities and
supervisory procedures. Any adverse effects
may be confined to one segment of banking
during the experimentation period. If, however,
the innovation is successful, the changes can
then be adopted by the other agencies. M ore­
over, the agencies can voluntarily communicate
and cooperate to the limits of their power and
good will in an endeavor to formulate uniform
policies and procedures and keep them consist­
ent and up to date.
The disadvantages of the present system can
be read in the number of occasions when vol­
untary cooperation among the agencies did not
produce optimal results. Episodically over the
years, voluntary cooperation has not been a
sufficiently powerful incentive to consistently
produce vigorous, timely Federal supervisory
action that was in harmony with other supervi­
sory policies and uniform across the Federal
agencies. Moreover, the diffusion of authority
among the agencies is great enough so that it
is often hard to pick the agency or the officials
to hold accountable for such shortfalls. In such
an environment, supervisory innovations—par­
ticularly those that pinch the subject banks— can
be inhibited if the banks that are adversely
affected have another supervisory jurisdiction
open to them.
A third alternative is to divide responsibility
for Federal bank supervision and regulation be­
tween two agencies.
One possibility that has been advanced is that
all Federal bank regulations should be placed
in one agency and all Federal bank examination
and enforcement procedures in a separate
agency. Many of the advantages of complete
consolidation— such as uniformity, elimination
of duplication, more efficient use of personnel,
and elimination of the possibility of banks
shopping among Federal supervisors— could be
accomplished by this change. At the same time,
such a division would maintain some significant
element of checks and balances in the field of
bank regulation.
However, many of the disadvantages of con­
solidation would also be present, such as the
danger of a single regulatory body becoming
wedded to the past and reluctant to adapt to

Statements to Congress

changing times. The possibility of curtailed ex­
perimentation in regulatory procedures and a
possible erosion of some regulatory checks and
balances would also be present. In addition there
is a serious risk that the separation of regulation
from examination and enforcement would
weaken the effectiveness of bank examinations
and reduce cross-fertilization between func­
tions. Such a division could detract from the
stature of the field forces and hinder field exam­
ination efforts to resolve problems. Moreover,
whereas some coordination and jurisdictional
problems might be eliminated with this type of
structure, it is certainly possible that other
problems, perhaps more serious, would be
created.
A fourth alternative I might mention is to
provide for representation of the Board of Gov­
ernors in an expanded Office of the Comptroller.
It is possible that improved coordination of
key supervisory and regulatory programs could
be obtained if the Comptroller’s Office were
converted to a board with one member being
a Governor of the Federal Reserve. Direct Board
representation in the activities of the Comp­
troller offers some advantage, since all national
banks under the supervision of the Comptroller
are also member banks of the Federal Reserve
System. Moreover, under present practices the
Comptroller’s examiners are responsible for en­
forcing numerous Federal Reserve regulations
applicable to national banks. Conversion of the
Comptroller’s Office from a one-man to a Board
operation would also provide the benefit of
group decision-making and provide a balancing
of viewpoints in the supervision of national
banks.
However, the creation of a board for the
Comptroller’s Office could well have the disad­
vantage of producing a less expeditious and less
efficient operation— a result that can often flow
from administration by a committee.
A fifth possible alternative is increased and
more structured coordination of examination
functions.
Our review of the other projects undertaken
by the Board’s Committee on Bank Regulatory
and Supervisory Policy has shown that one of
the most important areas calling for attention
is the problem of revising and updating exami­
nation and enforcement procedures. I under­



431

stand that the Comptroller’s studies have
reached similar conclusions.
There is a need for more realism, consistency,
and uniformity in examination standards and
procedures. We believe that there needs to be
an increased emphasis given to more timely
reports and information systems that would
supplement the practice of on-site examinations.
Recent experience also demonstrates that
some weakness exists in enforcement proce­
dures. There needs to be more effective and
consistent follow-up of examiners’, and other
supervisory, recommendations to banks, in
order to assure that the banks take those actions
necessary to correct the identified problems in
reasonable time.
The resolution of these problems might be
helped if each of the three Federal banking
agencies were to delegate some specific deci­
sion-making authority in the field of examina­
tion procedures to a representative on a new
interagency group, which might be designated
the Federal Bank Examination Council. The
Council might be composed of Board members
or senior officials responsible for bank exami­
nation from each of the three banking regulatory
agencies. That group would not supplant the
present Interagency Coordinating Committee,
which ought to continue to provide a forum for
consultation on regulatory and policy questions
affecting not only banks but nonbank thrift in­
stitutions as well. The distinctive features of a
new Examination Council would be that its
members would be assigned responsibility for
particular areas of bank examination proce­
dures, given decision-making power in those
areas, and held accountable by their agencies
for the development of suitable standards and
practices in such areas.
A council of this nature could foster greater
uniformity and consistency in the modernization
of numerous bank examination and enforcement
activities without most of the disadvantages
feared from complete consolidation. In addition,
it would permit undertaking a limited and cir­
cumscribed consolidation effort promptly, on an
experimental basis, with flexibility to allow for
revisions that prove desirable.
To be sure, such a Bank Examination Council
would have its disadvantages also. Because of
its relatively narrow scope, a number of impor­

432

Federal Reserve Bulletin □ July 1975

tant issues in bank supervision would be beyond
its ability to solve. Since it would derive its
authority by delegation, there is the chance that
its members would be diffident in their actions
out of concern for possible termination of their
delegated authority. There is also the possibility
that its members might show less initiative in
tackling problems than would an individual
agency acting on its own.
As the Board of Governors has reviewed all
these alternatives, and the situations to which
they are addressed, a majority of the Board has
come to the following tentative conclusions on
this subject.
First, some change in the present structuring
of Federal bank supervision is desirable, al­
though not essential. Federal bank supervision
has done many things right, and it is not so
flawed as to necessarily thwart key objectives
of public policy in this field. On the other hand,
the present diffusion of authority and respon­
sibility among three Federal agencies is condu­
cive to some confusion, uncoordinated initia­
tives, occasional delays and misunderstandings,
and sometimes a subtle competition to relax or
forego appropriate constraints on banking insti­
tutions. What is called for is measured action
that ameliorates these weaknesses without sap­
ping the strengths of the present agency struc­
ture.
Second, the Federal Reserve, as the Nation’s
central bank, needs to be involved in the process
of bank regulation and supervision. Now, more
than ever before, the Fed’s key roles as mone­
tary policy-maker and as lender of last resort
reach into territory conditioned by prevailing
bank supervisory and regulatory policies. Each
of those sets of public policies increasingly
affects the effectiveness of the other. Their close
coordination is much to be desired.




Third, an appropriate step forward in the
Federal bank supervisory structure at this time
would be the establishment by the agencies of
a Federal Bank Examination Council along the
lines described above. It is, as I have said, an
experimental and evolutionary idea, rather than
a radical and irreversible one— and the Board
believes the former rather than the latter is what
is called for today.
The Board is prepared to delegate selected
decision-making authority in the field of bank
examination procedures to our representative on
such a Council forthwith, and I hope our sister
Federal banking agencies will be similarly in­
clined. We are further prepared to ask that
Council to study several broader supervisory
issues on a priority basis, with a view to devel­
oping recommendations to the parent agencies
for uniform, up-dated policy positions.
Assuming that a Bank Examination Council
is established, experience will soon show how
productive it can be in actual practice and how
far the scope of its activities might usefully be
extended. The Council’s success will require a
sincere effort on the part of all three agencies
to arrive at meaningful changes and to minimize
disagreement on less essential items. Its per­
formance will depend most of all on the com­
petence and good will of the individuals desig­
nated to serve on it. But that ca v ea t attaches
likewise to virtually every other design of the
structure of the Federal banking agencies.
The Board appreciates the continuing interest
of this committee in the entire subject of bank­
ing regulation and supervision, and we look
forward to your deliberations and recom­
mendations. We will be glad to continue to
report to you on our activities and will make
recommendations for further legislation as we
see such needs develop.

Record of Policy Actions
of the Federal Open Market Committee
MEETING HELD ON MAY 20, 1975
1.

Domestic Policy Directive

The inform ation reviewed at this m eeting suggested that real output
of goods and services— which had fallen sharply in the fourth
quarter of 1974 and the first quarter of 1975— was declining m uch
less rapidly in the current quarter and that the rise in prices was
m oderating further. Staff projections, like those of 5 weeks earlier,
suggested that real econom ic activity would turn up later in the
year and that the rise in prices would continue to slow.
The pace of decline in industrial production, which had been
less rapid in M arch than in the preceding 4 m onths, m oderated
further in April. N onfarm payroll em ploym ent changed little and
total em ploym ent rose, but the unem ploym ent rate increased fur­
ther, from 8.7 to 8.9 per cent, as the labor force continued to
grow at a considerable pace. According to the advance report, retail
sales had risen in April, despite a further decline in the num ber
of new cars sold.
The index of average hourly earnings for private nonfarm pro­
duction workers was unchanged in April, after having risen sharply
in M arch; over the first 4 m onths of the year the rate of advance
in the index was considerably less rapid than that in the second
half of 1974. Average wholesale prices of industrial com m odities
changed little in April, as in M arch, while wholesale prices of
farm and food products increased sharply, following 5 m onths of
large decreases. In M arch the rise in the consum er price index
had slowed further from the pace in the first 2 m onths of the year.
Staff projections still suggested that in the current quarter the
decline in real G NP would be small and that nom inal GNP would
turn up, although expectations now were for only a slight rather
than a substantial increase in residential construction. It was still
anticipated that inventory liquidation would m oderate from the
exceptional pace in the first quarter and that personal consum ption
expenditures would expand but that business fixed investm ent




434

Federal Reserve Bulletin □ July 1975




would decline further. The projected upturn in real GNP in the
second half reflected expectations that growth in consum ption
expenditures would accelerate in response to expansive fiscal policy
m easures, that the upturn in residential construction w ould gain
m om entum , and that the pace of inventory liquidation would
m oderate further.
Since m id-April the average exchange value of the dollar against
leading foreign currencies had receded som ew hat, but it was still
slightly above the low in early M arch. The U .S. foreign trade
balance— which had been in large deficit in the last three quarters
of 1974— shifted into substantial surplus in the first quarter of this
year, in considerable part because the volum e of im ports was
reduced by the decline in business activity in this country. Net
outflows of funds through banks expanded substantially in the first
quarter, as outstanding loans to foreigners continued to increase
while liabilities to foreigners declined.
Total loans and investm ents at U .S . com m ercial banks continued
to expand at a slow pace from the end of M arch to the end of
April. O utstanding loans to businesses declined further, as business
dem ands for credit rem ained weak both at banks and in the
com m ercial paper m arket; outstanding loans to nonbank financial
institutions, securities dealers, and consum ers also declined, while
real estate loans increased by only a m odest am ount. As in February
and M arch, banks increased their holdings of U .S. Governm ent
securities considerably.
G row th in both the narrowly defined and the more broadly
defined m oney stock (M x and M 2)— which had been substantial
in M arch— was m oderate in A pril, as disbursem ents of incom e tax
refunds slowed to about the pace of a year earlier. The m easure
of the m oney stock that includes deposits at nonbank thrift institu­
tions (M 3) grew more rapidly; although net inflows to thrift institu­
tions subsided from the extrem ely high rates in M arch, they
rem ained substantial. In April, as in the preceding 2 m onths, banks
reduced the outstanding volum e of large-denom ination C D ’s in
response to the growth in other deposits and to the continued
weakness in loan dem and, and the bank credit proxy grew at a
relatively slow pace.
On M ay 1 the Treasury announced that it would auction up to
$5 billion of notes and bonds, of which $3.8 billion represented

R ecord of Policy A ctions of F O M C

refunding of publicly held notes that were to m ature on M ay 15.
In auctions on M ay 6, 7, and 8, respectively, the Treasury sold
$2.75 billion of 3 ^ -year notes at an average price to yield 7.7
per cent, $1.5 billion of 7-year notes at an average price to yield
8.0 per cent, and $750 m illion of 30-year bonds at an average
price to yield 8.3 per cent. The Treasury also announced on M ay
1 that its over-all borrow ing needs for the current fiscal year would
be $5 billion less than had been previously stated, owing to
larger-than-expected receipts of taxes.
System open m arket operations since the April 14-15 m eeting
had been guided by the C om m ittee’s decision to seek bank reserve
and m oney m arket conditions consistent with som ewhat more rapid
growth in m onetary aggregates over the months ahead than had
occurred on average in recent m onths, while taking account of
the forthcom ing Treasury financing and of developm ents in dom es­
tic and international financial m arkets. The m onetary aggregates
had been expected to grow at relatively rapid rates in the A pril-M ay
period— because of the large volum e of tax rebates scheduled to
begin in M ay, of the rise in nom inal GNP anticipated for the second
quarter, and of the lagged effects on the dem and for m oney of
earlier declines in short-term interest rates— and operations initially
had been directed toward m aintaining about the prevailing bank
reserve and m oney m arket conditions. H ow ever, data that becam e
available subsequently suggested that in the A pril-M ay period the
growth rate of M x would be near the lower limit of the range of
tolerance that had been specified by the Com m ittee and growth
in M 2 would be below its tolerance range. Accordingly, operations
were directed toward achieving some easing in bank reserve and
m oney m arket conditions, although the System proceeded cau­
tiously in order to avoid exaggerated m arket effects during a period
of heavy Treasury financing. In the days preceding this m eeting
the Federal funds rate was about 5 Vs per cent, com pared with a
rate of about 5Vi per cent shortly before the April m eeting.
Short-term m arket interest rates— which had risen a little between
m id-M arch and m id-A pril— declined som ewhat in early M ay, re­
flecting the T reasury’s announcem ent of reduced borrow ing needs,
the easing in m oney m arket conditions, and the continued weakness
in business dem ands for short-term credit. On the day before this
m eeting the m arket rate on 3-month Treasury bills was 5.11 per




435

436

Federal Reserve Bulletin □ July 1975




cent, com pared with 5.53 per cent at the time of the April m eeting.
Effective May 16, Federal Reserve discount rates were reduced
from 6*A to 6 per cent at 10 Reserve Banks; shortly thereafter,
rates were reduced at the rem aining 2 Banks.
Yields on longer-term securities rose in late April but turned
down after the beginning of M ay; over the inter-m eeting period
they changed little. The volum e of public offerings of corporate
bonds in April, although sm aller than in M arch, was still large,
and an increase was in prospect for M ay. Offerings of State and
local governm ent issues in April and the calendar for M ay also
were heavy. Yields on hom e m ortgages rose som ewhat during
A pril, after having declined persistently since Septem ber of last
year.
At its previous m eeting, the C om m ittee had agreed that growth
in the m onetary and credit aggregates on average over the period
from M arch 1975 to M arch 1976 at rates within the following
ranges presently appeared to be consistent with its broad econom ic
objectives: M u 5 to IV2 per cent; M 2, 8 V2 to 10V2 per cent; M 3,
10 to 12 per cent; and the bank credit proxy, 6 V2 to 9 V2 per cent.
It was understood that these ranges, as well as the particular list
of aggregates for which such ranges were specified, were subject
to review and m odification at subsequent m eetings. It also was
understood that from month to month the rates of growth of the
various aggregates m ight well fall outside ranges contem plated for
annual periods as a result of short-run factors.
At this m eeting the Com m ittee took note of a staff analysis
indicating that the rate of growth of the m onetary aggregates would
probably be increased tem porarily during M ay and June by the
tax rebates, totaling about $8 billion, which the Treasury would
pay out in those m onths. It seemed likely that a sizable portion
of the rebates would be held for a time in dem and balances before
being used to acquire assets, repay debt, or increase spending,
and that some part would be placed directly in savings accounts.
To allow for the expected tem porary bulge in m oney holdings,
the C om m ittee agreed that relatively rapid growth in M x and M 2
over the M ay-June period— at annual rates within ranges of toler­
ance of 7 to 9Vi per cent and 9 to WV2 per cent, respec­
tively— would be acceptable. Such growth rates were thought likely
to involve growth in reserves available to support private nonbank

R ecord of P olicy A ctions of F O M C

deposits (R P D ’s) at a rate within a range of IV2 to 4 per cent,
and they were expected to be consistent with a weekly average
Federal funds rate in a range of 4 V2 to 5 Vi per cent.
In the course of the C om m ittee’s discussion a num ber of m em ­
bers expressed the view that upward pressures on interest rates
would be particularly undesirable at present, in light of the sensitive
state of financial m arkets and of uncertainties with respect to the
tim ing and strength of the econom ic recovery that now appeared
to be in process of developing. There was no sentim ent for
aggressive easing operations for the purpose of reducing m arket
interest rates further. Some m em bers urged, how ever, that the
System should be prepared to respond prom ptly should the m one­
tary aggregates be unexpectedly weak.
The Com m ittee decided that open m arket operating decisions
in the period until the next m eeting should be based to a greater
extent than usual on the state of financial m arkets, with the objective
of m aintaining m oney m arket conditions about like those now
prevailing so long as the m onetary aggregates appeared to be
growing at rates within acceptable ranges of tolerance. The follow ­
ing dom estic policy directive was issued to the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York:




The information reviewed at this meeting suggests that real output
of goods and services— after having fallen sharply for two quar­
ters— is declining much less rapidly in the current quarter. In April
the pace of the decline in industrial production moderated consid­
erably further, and total employment rose. However, the unemploy­
ment rate increased again, from 8.7 to 8.9 per cent, as the civilian
labor force increased considerably. Average wholesale prices of
industrial commodities changed little in April, as in March; prices
of farm and food products rose sharply, following several months
of large decreases. The advance in average wage rates so far this
year has been considerably less rapid than the increase during the
second half of 1974.
The foreign exchange value of the dollar has declined somewhat
since mid-April, but it is still above the low of early March. U.S.
imports fell sharply in the first quarter, and the foreign trade balance
was in substantial surplus, in contrast to the deficits of preceding
quarters. Net outflows of funds through banks were large in the
first quarter, as loans to foreigners continued to increase while
liabilities to foreigners declined.

437

438

Federal Reserve Bulletin □ July 1975




Both M x and M2 grew moderately in April, but M3 grew more
rapidly as inflows of deposits to nonbank thrift institutions remained
substantial. Business demands for short-term credit remained weak,
both at banks and in the commercial paper market, while demands
in the long-term market continued strong. Since mid-April short­
term market interest rates have declined somewhat. Most longerterm yields have changed little on balance, and mortgage rates have
risen. Federal Reserve discount rates were reduced from 6 lA to 6
per cent in mid-May.
In light of the foregoing developments, it is the policy of the
Federal Open Market Committee to foster financial conditions con­
ducive to stimulating economic recovery, while resisting inflationary
pressures and working toward equilibrium in the country’s balance
of payments.
To implement this policy, while taking account of developments
in domestic and international financial markets, the Committee seeks
to maintain about the prevailing money market conditions over the
period immediately ahead, provided that monetary aggregates gen­
erally appear to be growing within currently acceptable short-run
ranges of tolerance.

M anager. The M anager advised that large-scale securities purchases
had been necessary to carry out the C om m ittee’s objectives in the
period since the previous m eeting because an extrem ely large
volum e of reserves had been absorbed by a rise in the T reasury’s
balances at Reserve Banks to record levels, and that a tem porary
increase in the leew ay for System purchases appeared desirable
in light of the prospective near-term needs to supply reserves.
At this m eeting, the Com m ittee decided to m aintain the $4 billion
limit for the period through the close of business on June 17, 1975.
This action was taken on the recom m endation of the Deputy
M anager for Dom estic O perations, who advised that an expected
sharp decrease in Treasury balances at the Reserve Banks in the
period ahead m ight necessitate an unusually large volum e of se­
curities sales by the System to absorb reserves.

The Board of Governors has amended its Regu­
lation Q to require member banks to notify owners
of time deposits that, upon maturity, the deposits
will become demand deposits. The amendment
also requires member banks to notify owners of
automatically renewable time deposits that the
deposits will be renewed at maturity unless the
owner gives the bank other instructions. In addi­
tion, the Board encouraged all member banks to
mail information regarding maturity of time de­
posits to their customers approximately 30 days
prior to the maturity date.

AMENDMENTS TO REGULATION Q
1. Effective September 1, 1975, section
217.3(f) of Regulation Q is amended to read as

a conspicuous statement indicating that the con­
tract will be renewed automatically upon maturity,
and indicating the terms of such renewal.

The Board of Governors has also amended its
Regulation Q to permit member banks to pay a
time deposit before maturity without penalty after
the death of any person whose name appears (alone
or with other persons) on the time deposit pass­
book or Certificate of Deposit and who, therefore,
possesses a legal or equitable ownership interest

three months of interest payable at such rate. If,
however, the amount withdrawn has remained on

O rder D enying Formation
of Bank H olding Com pany

Cross Timbers Bancshares, Inc., Gorman,
Texas, has applied for the Board’s approval under
§ 3(a)(1) of the Bank Holding Company Act (12
U.S.C. 1842(a)(1)) of formation of a bank holding
company through acquisition of 96 per cent or
more of the voting shares of The First National
Bank of Gorman, Gorman, Texas (“ Bank” ).
Notice of the application, affording opportunity
for interested persons to submit comments and
views, has been given in accordance with § 3(b)
of the Act. The time for filing comments and views
has expired, and the Board has considered the
application and all comments received in light of
the factors set forth in § 3(c) of the Act (12 U.S.C.
1842(c)).
Applicant is a nonoperating corporation organ­
ized under the laws of Texas for the purpose of
becoming a bank holding company through the
acquisition of Bank. Bank, with deposits of $5.2
million, is the smallest of five banking organi­
zations in the Eastland banking market (approxi­
mated by the boundaries of Eastland county, lo­
cated 100 miles west of Fort Worth) and holds
approximately 9.7 per cent of total deposits in the
market.1 Inasmuch as this proposal represents
merely a reorganization of existing ownership in­
terests, and since Applicant has no present banking
subsidiaries, the acquisition of Bank by Applicant
would not have any significantly adverse effect
upon either existing or potential competition
within the relevant market. Accordingly, the
Board concludes that competitive considerations
are consistent with approval of the application.
The Board has indicated on previous occasions
that it believes that a holding company should
*A11 banking data are as of December 31, 1974.



provide a source of financial and managerial
strength to its subsidiary bank(s), and that the
Board will closely examine the condition of the
Applicant in each case with this consideration in
mind. In connection with this proposal, Applicant
would incur a sizable acquisition debt which
Applicant proposes to service over a twelve-year
period primarily through dividends from Bank. It
is noted that in the recent past Bank has paid no
dividends. In the Board’s view, the projected
earnings of Applicant to service the acquisition
debt over the debt-retirement period appear to be
somewhat optimistic based on Bank’s previous
earnings and, even if actually realized would not
provide Applicant with the financial flexibility
necessary to meet its annual debt service require­
ments while maintaining adequate capital at Bank.
Furthermore, the financial requirements imposed
upon Applicant as a result of the debt could
prevent it from resolving any unforeseen problems
that may arise at Bank and thereby impair Bank’s
ability to continue to serve the community as a
viable banking organization.
On the basis of the circumstances concerning
this application, the Board concludes that the
banking considerations involved in this proposal
present adverse factors bearing upon the financial
condition and prospects of Applicant and Bank.
Such adverse factors are not outweighed by any
procompetitive effects or by benefits that would
result in the convenience and needs of the com­
munity to be served. Accordingly, it is the Board’s
judgment that approval of the application would
not be in the public interest and that the application
should be denied.
On the basis of the facts of record, the applica­
tion is denied for the reasons summarized above.
By order of the Board of Governors, effective
June 25, 1975.
Voting for this action: Chairman Burns and Gover­
nors Mitchell, Bucher, Holland, Wallich, and Coldwell.

O rder D eterm ining A pplicability and Effect of
State Statute

Intermountain Bankshares Company, Charles­
ton, West Virginia, applied for, and on August
1, 1974, received approval under § 3(a)(1) of the
Bank H olding Company Act (12 U .S .C .
1842(a)(1)) of formation of a bank holding com­
pany through acquisition of all of the shares (less
directors’ qualifying shares) of the successors by
merger to Kanawha Banking & Trust Company
National A ssociation ( “ Kanawha B ank” ),
Charleston, and Community Bank and Trust, N.A.
(“ Community Bank” ), Fairmont, both located in
West Virginia. The banks into which Kanawha
Bank and Community Bank are to be merged have
no significance except as means to facilitate the
acquisition of shares of Kanawha Bank and Com­
munity Bank. Accordingly, the proposed acquisi­
tion of shares of each of the successor organi­
zations is treated herein as the proposed acquisition
of shares of Kanawha Bank and Community Bank,
respectively.
On August 27, 1974 the West Virginia Bankers
Association and nine West Virginia banks that had
objected to the application during its pendency
before the Board, filed a petition for review of
the Board’s Order of August 1, 1974 in the United
States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
On February 24, 1975, during the pendency of
that Court’s review, the Legislature of the State
of West Virginia enacted an amendment to Section
12, Article 8, Chapter 31A of the Code of West
Virginia purporting to prohibit multibank holding
companies in that State. On March 3, 1975, the
Governor of the State of West Virginia vetoed that
legislation. On March 7, 1975 the Legislature of
the State of West Virginia overrode the Governor’s
veto. The new law, which becomes effective June
5, 1975, provides:

shares of any one or more banks, or to control in any
manner the election of a majority of the directors of
any one or more banks, but the foregoing provisions
of this provision shall not apply to shares held by a
financial institution in a fiduciary capacity. It is further
specifically provided that nothing herein contained shall
in anywise affect the ownership or control of financial
institutions other than banks and banking institutions
as defined in subsection (b), section two, article one
of this chapter.
(c) Any violation of any provision of this section shall
constitute a misdemeanor offense punishable by appli­
cable penalties as provided in section fifteen of article
eight of this chapter.

On April 16, 1975, the United States Court of
Appeals for the Fourth Circuit issued an order
remanding the case before it to the Board for a
determination of the “ applicability and effect if
any of the new statute on Intermountain Bank­
shares’ application.” The Court’s Order stayed the
Board’s Order of August 1, 1974 pending recon­
sideration of the application by the Board.1
By letters of April 23, 1975, the Board solicited
the views of Applicant, the protestants, and the
Attorney General of West Virginia on the applica­
bility and effect of the amendment to the West
Virginia Code. The Board has received written
responses from Applicant and the protestants and
those responses, as well as the record of the
original application, have been considered by the
Board.
In Whitney N ational Bank of Jefferson Parish
v. Bank of N ew O rleans & Trust C o., 379 U.S.
411,419 (1965), the United States Supreme Court
indicated that the Board may not approve an ap­
plication by a bank holding company if consum­
mation of the proposal contemplated by such ap­
plication would be prohibited by a valid State law.
The new West Virginia statute seems clearly to
prohibit the formation of multibank holding com­
panies after June 5, 1975, and, if read literally,
would seem to prohibit the continued ownership
after that date of more than 25 per cent of the
stock of two banks. Thus, whether or not the
transactions proposed by Intermountain were con­
summated before June 5, 1975, the shares so
(b)
It shall be unlawful for any individual, partner­ acquired could not lawfully be held by Intermoun­
ship, society, association, firm, institution, trust, syndi­
tain after that date. Accordingly, consistent with
cate, public or private corporation, or any other legal
entity, or combination of entities acting in concert, to
the rule set down in W hitney , the Board is of the
directly or indirectly own, control or hold with power
to vote, twenty-five per cent or more of the voting shares
of each of two or more banks, or to control in any
manner the election of a majority of the directors of
two or more banks: P rovided, however, That it shall
be unlawful for any financial institution, as defined in
subsection (j), section two, article one of this chapter,
or any other financial organization having similar pur­
poses as those specifically mentioned in said subsection
(j) to directly or indirectly own, control or hold with
power to vote, twenty-five per cent or more of the voting




*The Board’s Order of August 1, 1974, in accordance with
section 11 of the Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C. §
49) prohibited consummation of the acquisition of shares by
Applicant for 30 days following the issuance of that Order.
On February 28, 1975, the Comptroller of the Currency issued
the last of the approvals required from him with respect to
these transactions, and, but for the Court’s stay, the acquisition
could have been consummated after the lapse of 30 days from
that date.

2The Board notes that § 2-2-10(bb) of the West Virginia
Code provides that “a statute is presumed to be prospective
in its operation unless expressly made retrospective.” It is
arguable that by applying the new West Virginia statute as
the Board has, it is giving “retrospective” effect to that law
and that the Legislature did not expressly provide for retrospectivity. But for the Board’s view that the new law compels
the disposition stated above, and its conclusion that this appli­
cation of the law is not improperly “retrospective,” the Board
would have reaffirmed its Order of August 1, 1974.
DETROITBANK C o r p o r a t io n ,

O rder A pprovin g A cquisition of Bank

DETROITBANK Corporation, Detroit, Michi­
gan, a bank holding company within the meaning
of the Bank Holding Company Act, has applied
for the Board’s approval under § 3(a)(3) of the
Act (12 U .S.C . § 1842(a)(3)) to acquire 100 per
cent of the voting shares of The Detroit BankTroy, Troy, Michigan (“ Bank” ), a proposed new
bank.
Notice of the application, affording opportunity
for interested persons to submit comments and
views, has been given in accordance with § 3(b)
of the Act. The time for filing comments and views
has expired, and the Board has considered the
application and all comments received, including
those of First Citizens Bank, Troy, Michigan
(“ Protestant” ), in light of the factors set forth in
§ 3(c) of the Act (12 U .S.C . § 1842(c)).
Applicant, the fourth largest banking organi­
zation in Michigan, controls three banks with
aggregate deposits of $2.3 billion, respresenting
approximately 8.1 per cent of total deposits in
commercial banks in the State.1 Since Bank is a
proposed new bank, its acquisition by Applicant
would neither immediately increase Applicant’s
share of deposits, nor alter its rank, in the State.
Bank will be located in the northwest portion
of Troy, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit, and will

uary 31, 1975.

be competing in the Detroit banking market.2
Applicant presently controls three banking subsid­
iaries in the relevant market and ranks as the third
largest banking organization in the market through
its control of approximately 14.7 per cent of the
total commercial deposits in the market.3 There
are 41 banking organizations with a total of 638
offices competing in the Detroit banking market.
The two largest banking organizations in the mar­
ket (each of which is a multibank holding com­
pany) control approximately 33.2 and 15.3 per
cent, respectively, of the market’s commercial
bank deposits; the five largest in the market control
approximately 77 per cent of the market’s total
deposits. From the facts of record, it does not
appear that consummation of this proposal would
materially alter Applicant’s competitive position
in the market.
Although Applicant’s lead bank has offices lo­
cated in the vicinity of the city of Troy, Applicant
is not represented in the city of Troy proper and
its subsidiaries are precluded from establishing
branches in Troy because of Michigan’s branching
law. Inasmuch as Bank is a proposed new bank,
consummation of Applicant’s proposal would not
have adverse effects on existing competition in the
relevant market. On the other hand, Applicant’s
de novo entry into Troy would increase the number
of banking organizations with branching potential
in that city from two to three, and would provide
an alternative source of full banking services for
the residents of the area. Furthermore, on the basis
of the facts of record, including the past and future
population growth of Troy and the fact that Appli­
cant does not appear to be dominant in the market,
the Board concludes that the proposal would not
raise significant barriers to entry for other banking
organizations not presently represented in the area.
In its analysis of this application, the Board has
also considered the objection received from a
protesting party. Protestant, First Citizens Bank
(deposits of $13.4 million), is located approxi­
mately two and one-quarter miles southwest of
Bank and is a subsidiary of the fifth largest bank
holding company in the State. Generally speaking,
Protestant claims that consummation of the trans­
action would have adverse competitive effects in

2The Detroit banking market is approximated by Macomb,
Oakland, and Wayne Counties.
3Two of Applicant’s subsidiary banks are recent de novo
entrants into the Detroit banking market. In addition, Applicant
has recently received Board approval to acquire First National
Bank of Warren, Warren, Michigan (deposits of $45.2 mil­
lion). [See Board’s Order of April 11, 1975; 40 Federal
Register 17345 (1975); 61 Federal Reserve Bulletin 313
(1975).]

444

Federal Reserve Bulletin □ July 1975

that it would likely (1) increase concentration, (2)
preclude or limit entry that could lead to decon­
centration, and (3) adversely affect the competitive
posture of smaller competitors.
Turning to the first contention of Protestant, the
Board notes that four of the other five largest
banking organizations in the market have ex­
panded de novo in the market within the past two
years and, due in part to such activity, it appears
unlikely that any increase in market concentration
would result from consummation of Applicant’s
proposal. Furthermore, the small size of Troy
relative to the entire market and the expansion and
growth that can be expected by the two banks with
branching privileges presently located in Troy
should competitively limit Applicant’s future ex­
pansion and growth in Troy.
With respect to Protestant’s second contention,
it is noted that Troy’s current estimated population
of 59,760 is expected to reach 131,000 by 1990
and, based upon the current population per bank­
ing office ratio, the city will require additional
banking offices to serve this expanding population.
Since there are only two banks (one of which is
Protestant) in Troy capable of branching in that
city, de novo entry by Applicant represents, in the
Board’s view, a reasonable means to serve the
growing needs of that city and to provide its
residents with an additional banking alternative.
Moreover, because of the expected growth of the
area, it is unlikely that the subject proposal would
either preclude or limit future entry or preempt
a banking site.
Turning to Protestant’s final contention, the
projected growth within Troy for the next two
decades should be more than sufficient to sustain
the growth and profitability of both Protestant and
Applicant. In addition, as mentioned above, Prot­
estant is a subsidiary of the fifth largest banking
organization in the State and the sixth largest
banking organization in the relevant market. In
view of its holding company affiliation, it does
not appear that Protestant would be placed at a
serious competitive disadvantage vis a vis Bank,
even though it will be confronted with increased
competition and may have to adjust its services
to the residents of Troy accordingly.
It is the Board’s judgment, having considered
the submission of Protestant and all other facts
of record, that consummation of the proposed
acquisition would not have significant adverse ef­
fects on existing competition, nor foreclose the
development of future competition and that, on
balance, competitive considerations are consistent
with approval of the application.



The financial and managerial resources and fu­
ture prospects of Applicant and its subsidiaries are
regarded as satisfactory. Bank has no operating
financial history; however, it will be opened with
adequate capital and its prospects, as a subsidiary
of Applicant, appear favorable. Accordingly, con­
siderations relating to the banking factors are con­
sistent with approval. Considerations relating to
the convenience and needs of the community to
be served lend weight toward approval of the
application since Bank will be capable of offering
a full complement of banking services to its cus­
tomers. It is the Board’s judgment that consum­
mation of the proposed acquisition would be in
the public interest and that the application should
be approved.
On the basis of the record, the application is
approved for the reasons summarized above. The
transaction shall not be made (a) before the thir­
tieth calendar day following the effective date of
this Order or (b) later than three months after that
date, and (c) The Detroit Bank-Troy, Troy, Mich­
igan, shall be opened for business not later than
six months after the effective date of this Order.
Each of the periods described in (b) and (c) may
be extended for good cause by the Board, or by
the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago pursuant to
delegated authority.
By order of the Board of Governors, effective
June 13, 1975.

Governors Bucher, Holland, and Coldwell. Absent and

O rder A pproving A cquisition of Bank

Marshall & Ilsley Corporation, Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, a bank holding company within the
meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act, has
applied for the Board’s approval under § 3(a)(3)
of the Act (12 U.S.C . 1842(a)(3)) to acquire all
(less directors’ qualifying shares) of the voting
shares of M&I Bank of Mount Pleasant, Mount
Pleasant, Wisconsin (“ Mount Pleasant Bank” ), a
proposed new bank.
Notice of the application, affording opportunity
for interested persons to submit comments and
views, has been given in accordance with § 3(b)
of the Act. The time for filing comments and views

L aw D epartm ent

has expired, and the Board has considered the
application and all comments received, including
those submitted on behalf of Farmers and Mer­
chants Bank of Racine, Racine, Wisconsin
(“ Protestant” ), in light of the factors set forth in
§ 3(c) of the Act (12 U .S.C. 1842(c)).
Applicant, the second largest banking organi­
zation in Wisconsin, controls 17 banks with ag­
gregate deposits of approximately $992 million,
representing 7.3. per cent of the total deposits in
commercial banks in the State.1 Since Mount
Pleasant Bank is a proposed new bank, its acqui­
sition by Applicant would not immediately in­
crease Applicant’s share of commercial bank de­
posits in Wisconsin.
Mount Pleasant Bank is to be located in the town
of Mount Pleasant, a rapidly developing area about
3V2 road miles north and west of Racine, and will
be competing in the Racine banking market.2 Of
the 15 commercial banks operating within this
market, Applicant has one subsidiary, M&I
American Bank and Trust Company, Racine,
Wisconsin, which holds 14.6 per cent of the mar­
ket’s total deposits and thereby ranks as the second
largest bank in the market. The largest bank in
the market holds 30 per cent of the market’s total
deposits. Since Mount Pleasant Bank is a proposed
new bank, its acquisition by Applicant would not
eliminate any existing or future competition, nor
would concentration of banking resources be in­
creased in any relevant area. In addition, there is
no evidence to indicate that Applicant’s proposal
is an attempt to preempt a site before there is a
need for a bank. Therefore, the competitive con­
siderations are consistent with approval of the
application.
The financial condition and managerial re­
sources of Applicant and its subsidiaries are con­
sidered generally satisfactory and the future pros­
pects for each appear favorable. Mount Pleasant
Bank, as a proposed new bank, has no financial
or operating history; however, its future prospects
as a subsidiary of Applicant appear favorable.
Thus, the considerations relating to the banking
factors are consistent with approval. Mount Pleas­
ant Bank would serve as an additional source of
full banking services to the residents of that com­
munity and environs. Considerations relating to

445

the convenience and needs of the community to
be served lend some weight toward approval of
the application.
In connection with its review of the subject
application, the Board has considered comments
filed by Protestant, a bank located in downtown
Racine. Protestant has renewed the objection pre­
viously submitted by it to the State Banking Com­
missioner during his consideration of the charter
application for Bank. After a public hearing on
the charter application on January 14, 1974 (at
which Protestant did not participate), the Com­
missioner approved the application on February
28, 1974. Protestant’s position is essentially that
there is no need for another bank in the Racine
area and that approval of the application would
impair Protestant’s growth and ability to serve its
immediate area.
As indicated above, Mount Pleasant, the pro­
posed site of Mount Pleasant Bank, is one of the
more rapidly growing areas in the Racine banking
market. Moreover, the population per banking
office ratio in the market is 6,233 as compared
to the average in the State of 4,807 per banking
office. It appears, therefore, that the Racine area
would be capable of supporting an additional
banking alternative. With respect to Protestant’s
second argument, the Board is unable to conclude
from the record that the opening of Bank would
have a serious effect on Protestant’s operations.
While admittedly the opening of any new bank
may have a temporary effect on banks in the
market, it does not appear that Applicant occupies
such a significant position in the Racine market
that its establishment of a de novo bank would
have a serious effect on surrounding banks war­
ranting denial of the application. Accordingly,
having considered the comments of Protestant and
on the basis of the record, it is the Board’s judg­
ment that the proposed acquisition would be in
the public interest and that the application should
be approved.
On the basis of the record, the application is
approved for the reasons summarized above. The
transaction shall not be made (a) before the thir­
tieth calendar day following the effective date of
this Order or (b) later than three months after that
date, and (c) M&I Bank of Mount Pleasant, Mount

rado, a bank holding company within the meaning
of the Bank Holding Company Act, has applied
for the Board’s approval under § 3(a)(3) of the
Act (12 U.S.C. 1842(a)(3)) to acquire 80 per cent
or more of the voting shares of The First National
Bank in Golden, Golden, Colorado (“ Bank” ).
Notice of the application, affording opportunity
for interested persons to submit comments and
views, has been given in accordance with § 3(b)
of the Act. The time for filing comments and views
has expired, and the Board has considered the
application and all comments received in light of
the factors set forth in § 3(c) of the Act (12 U.S.C.
1842(c)).
Applicant controls 19 banks with aggregate de­
posits of about $924.6 million, representing ap­
proximately 13.8 per cent of the total commercial
bank deposits in Colorado, and is the second
largest banking organization in the State.1 The
acquisition of Bank (deposits of $48.3 million)
would increase Applicant’s control of commercial
bank deposits in Colorado by 0.7 per cent, and
Applicant would become Colorado’s largest bank­
ing organization.
Bank, which is located in Golden, approxi­
mately 15 miles from downtown Denver, com­
petes in the Denver banking market (approximated
by Denver, Adams, Arapahoe and Jefferson
Counties and the Broomfield area of Boulder
County) and controls approximately 1.3 per cent
of total market deposits. Applicant is also repre­
sented in the Denver market and ranks therein as
the second largest banking organization with six
subsidiaries in the market controlling approxi­
mately 17 per cent of the total market deposits.
Consummation of the proposed transaction would
have some adverse effects on the concentration of

banking resources by increasing Applicant’s al­
ready significant position in the market and by
increasing the percentage of deposits held by the
five largest organizations in the market to about
69.0 per cent of the total.
In addition to its effects on the concentration
of banking resources, it appears that the proposal
would also have adverse effects on existing and
future competition within the Denver market. As
noted above, Applicant is already represented in
the relevant market with six subsidiary banks. The
record indicates clearly that there is substantial
competition between certain of Applicant’s sub­
sidiaries and Bank which would be eliminated by
this proposal; Applicant’s subsidiaries derive sig­
nificant amounts of loans and deposits from the
area served by Bank. Furthermore, the proposal
would foreclose the development of future com­
petition by removing Bank (the fourth largest
independent competitor in the market) as an inde­
pendent competitor within the Denver market.
Accordingly, the Board is of the view that con­
summation of the proposal would have adverse
effects on both existing and future competition.
On the basis of the foregoing and other facts
of record, the Board concludes that competitive
considerations relating to this application weigh
sufficiently against approval so that it should not
be approved unless the anticompetitive effects are
outweighed by other positive considerations re­
flected in the record such as the financial and
managerial resources and future prospects of Ap­
plicant and Bank or the convenience and needs
of the communities to be served.
In regard to considerations relating to banking
factors, the financial and managerial resources of
Applicant, its subsidiaries, and Bank are generally
satisfactory, and their prospects appear to be
favorable. While such considerations are regarded
as being consistent with approval of the applica­
tion, they do not, in the Board’s view, lend mean­
ingful weight for such approval. Similarly, con­
siderations relating to convenience and needs are
deemed to be consistent with approval of the
application; however, the improvements in Bank’s
services that Applicant proposes to initiate would
not noticeably benefit the convenience and needs
of the communities to be served. Accordingly, the
Board concludes that the above factors are not
sufficient to outweigh the adverse competitive ef­
fects that the Board finds would result from con­
summation of the proposal.
On the basis of all the facts in the record, and
in light of the factors set forth in § 3(c) of the

Law D epartm ent

Act, it is the Board’s judgment that approval of
the proposal would not be in the public interest.
Accordingly, the application is denied for the
reasons summarized above.
By order of the Board of Governors, effective
June 13, 1975.

O rder A pprovin g A cquisition
of S B M T Sunamerica Corporation

Chemical New York Corporation, New York,
New York, a bank holding company within the
meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act, has
applied for the Board’s approval, under section
4(c)(8) of the Act and § 225.4(b)(2) of the Board’s
Regulation Y, to acquire, through an exchange of
shares, all of the voting shares of SBMT Suna­
merica Corporation, Cleveland, Ohio (“ Suna­
merica” ), a company that engages in the activities
of a consumer finance company by making, ac­
quiring or servicing loans and other extensions of
credit such as would be made by a finance com­
pany; operating industrial banks in the manner
authorized by the State of Colorado; providing
time on its computer to firms which avail them­
selves of Sunamerica’s computer during slack pe­
riods; acting as an insurance agent or broker in
offices of Sunamerica and its subsidiaries with
respect to insurance directly related to an extension
of credit by such subsidiaries or otherwise sold
as a matter of convenience to the purchaser, so
long as the premium income from such conven­
ience sales does not constitute a significant portion
of the aggregate insurance premium income of the
holding company from insurance sold pursuant to
§ 225.4(a)(9)(ii) of Regulation Y; and acting as
underwriter for credit life insurance and credit
accident and health insurance which is directly
related to extensions of credit by the bank holding
system. Such activities have been determined by
the Board to be closely related to banking (12 CFR
225.4(a)(1), (2), (8), (9) and (10)).

Notice of the application, affording opportunity
for interested persons to submit comments and
views on the public interest factors, has been duly
published (40 Federal R egister 14378). The time
for filing comments and views has expired, and
the Board has considered all comments received
in the light of the public interest factors set forth
in section 4 (c)(8 ) of the Act (12 U .S .C .
1843(c)(8)).
Applicant, a multibank holding company, is the
fourth largest banking organization in New York
State, and the fifth largest nationally. Applicant
controls Chemical Bank, New York, New York
(“ Bank” ), and six other commercial banks which,
collectively, hold deposits of $13.1 billion, repre­
senting approximately 9.7 per cent of the total
deposits in commercial banks in New York State.1
Applicant also controls nonbanking subsidiaries
which engage in equipment financing, construction
lending, permanent financing of income producing
properties, mortgage banking and accounts re­
ceivable financing and factoring.
Sunamerica, with total gross receivables of
$68.3 million, is a holding company for three
wholly-owned subsidiaries: The Sun Finance and
Loan Company, Sun States Life Insurance Com­
pany and Great Lakes Insurance Company. The
Sun Finance and Loan Company operates con­
sumer finance subsidiaries in eleven States, four
industrial banks in Colorado, and two insurance
agencies. The Sun Finance and Loan Company
ranks as the 90th largest finance company (57th
largest noncaptive finance company) in the United
States. Sun States Life Insurance Company en­
gages in the reinsurance of credit related life
insurance originating from direct loan and sales
finance transactions by Sun Finance and Loan
Company while Great Lakes Insurance Company
engages in the reinsurance of credit related acci­
dent and health insurance originating from the
same sources.
With respect to Sunamerica’s lending activities,
approximately 66 per cent of its outstanding re­
ceivables consist of personal loans and an addi­
tional 33 per cent consist of receivables arising
from the purchase from dealers of installment
notes from the sale of goods and services. The
geographic market for personal loans is considered
to be local. Although it is possible to engage in
sales finance over an unlimited geographic area,
Sunamerica has only a few sales finance clients

located outside the various local market areas of
its personal loan offices. Sunamerica operates its
105 offices in local markets in California, Colo­
rado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, -Louisiana,
North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee
and West Virginia. Applicant’s seven subsidiary
banks extend personal loans solely within several
major markets in New York State. In addition,
Bank does engage in sales finance, but competes
for such business principally in the New York City
metropolitan area. Thus, since there is no mean­
ingful geographic overlap between the services
offered by both Applicant and Sunamerica, con­
summation of the proposed transaction would not
adversely affect existing competition in any rele­
vant market.
With respect to the question of whether con­
summation of the proposal would eliminate any
significant competition in the future, Applicant
possesses the resources and expertise to penetrate
the markets that are presently served by Suna­
merica through de novo entry or through the ac­
quisition of smaller finance companies. The loss
of potential competition upon consummation of
this proposal is not viewed as serious. The major
markets in which Sunamerica operates contain
numerous competitors and Sunamerica’s share of
the individual markets is small. Sunamerica has
less than 3 per cent of all personal loans in nearly
all the relevant markets and no more than 2.2 per
cent of the sales financings in any market. In no
market does Sunamerica appear to have a domi­
nant position in either product line. The Board
therefore concludes that consummation of the pro­
posal would have only a very slight adverse effect
with respect to the elimination of potential com­
petition.
Due to the nature of Sunamerica’s insurance
activities, which are presently limited to exten­
sions of credit made by Sunamerica and its sub­
sidiaries and insurance sold to customers of Suna­
merica and its subsidiaries as a matter of conven­
ience, it does not appear that Applicant’s acquisi­
tion of these insurance activities would have any
significant effect on existing or potential competi­
tion.
The subject application contains a number of
factors which, in the Board’s view, make the
financial considerations involved in the proposal
consistent with approval. Foremost among these
is the fact that the proposal involves a stock-forstock acquisition and thus does not constitute a
utilization of funds for expansion, which funds
could be used elsewhere to strengthen Applicant’s
organization. Another factor which has entered



into the Board’s decision is that Sunamerica will
maintain its funding separate and independent of
Applicant. Likewise Applicant will not guarantee
or issue any debt to be utilized in Sunamerica’s
operation. Thus, it will not be necessary in the
immediate future for Applicant to enter the debt
market to support Sunamerica’s activities. Fur­
thermore, Applicant intends to defer indefinitely
its original plans for de novo expansion of Suna­
merica. It appears, therefore, that consummation
of the proposal would not require Applicant to
divert any significant amount of its financial or
managerial resources to assure the successful
operation of Sunamerica. On the other hand, the
acquisition of Sunamerica should ultimately result
in benefits to the overall earnings of Applicant.
In order for the Board to approve an acquisition
under section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Com­
pany Act it must determine that approval can
reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the
public such as greater convenience, increased
competition, or gains in efficiency that outweigh
possible adverse effects, such as undue concentra­
tion of resources, decreased or unfair competition,
conflicts of interests or unsound banking practices.
The normal public benefits which can be ex­
pected to accrue from the entry of bank holding
companies into the finance company business
would be expected to accrue in this case. In
addition, the added managerial strength and im­
proved efficiencies resulting from the acquisition
of Sunamerica by Applicant will allow Sunamerica
to increase its receivables and expand its influence
within its already established markets. Further­
more, Applicant is committed to lower interest
rates to all borrowers without being more restric­
tive in its credit standards.
As discussed hereinafter, Applicant will lower
credit insurance premium rates in the States where
policies are reinsured by a Sunamerica subsidiary.
Applicant has proposed a rate reduction, without
a reduction of policy benefits, of 5 per cent for
credit accident and health insurance and a range
of rate reductions of from 2 per cent to 15 per
cent for credit life insurance. The Board has de­
termined that these benefits to the public outweigh
the slightly adverse potential competitive effects
of the proposal and that approval of the acquisition
is warranted.
On the basis of all the facts of record, including
the Board’s view that Applicant’s commitments
and assurance that the acqusition will neither result
in any significant increased demand upon Appli­
cant’s financial or managerial resources nor cause
any immediate alteration or expansion of Suna-

L aw D epartm ent

merica’s present operations, the Board has deter­
mined, in accordance with the provisions of §
4(c)(8), the consummation of this proposal can
reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the
public that outweigh possible adverse effects. Ac­
cordingly, the application is hereby approved. The
Board’s approval determination is also subject to
the conditions set forth in § 225.4(c) of Regulation
Y and to the Board’s authority to require such
modification or termination of the activities of a
holding company or any of its subsidiaries as the
Board finds necessary to assure compliance with
the provisions and purposes of the Act and the
Board’s regulations and orders issued thereunder,
or to prevent evasion thereof.
The transaction shall be made not later than
three months after the effective date of this Order,
unless such period is extended for good cause by
the Board or by the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, pursuant to delegated authority.
By order of the Board of Governors, effective
June 27, 1975.

nors Mitchell, Holland, Wallich, and Coldwell. Absent

THE BANK OF TOKYO, LTD.,
TOKYO, JAPAN
O rder D enying A cquisition of Tokyo Bancorp
International (Houston), Inc.

The Bank of Tokyo, Ltd., (“ Applicant” ),
Tokyo, Japan, a foreign bank holding company
within the meaning of § 225.4(g)(l)(iii) of the
Board’s Regulation Y, has applied for the Board’s
consent, under section 4(c)(9) of the Bank Holding
Company Act and § 225.4(g)(2)(iv) of the Board’s
Regulation Y, to acquire all of the voting shares
of Tokyo Bancorp International (Houston), Inc.,
(“ TBI” ), Houston, Texas.
Applicant is a Japanese commercial bank with
total assets of approximately $19.9 billion and
operates branches or agencies in 19 countries.1
Applicant, which became a bank holding company
as a result of the enactment of the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, is a grandfathered multiState bank holding company with banking subsid­

iaries in New York and California.2 Applicant also
has an agency each in New York, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, as well as a branch each in Port­
land, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington.3
TBI would engage de novo in a wide variety
of international and foreign banking activities
usual in financing international commerce, includ­
ing providing letters of credit and acceptance fa­
cilities; the negotiation and collection of checks,
drafts and other means of payment payable abroad;
foreign exchange services; and working capital
loans to domestic importers and exporters. As part
of its business, TBI would also receive so-called
due-to-customer accounts. From information sub­
mitted to the Board, it appears that TBI’s due-tocustomer accounts are similar to credit balances
received by New York Investment Companies4 and
would serve many of the same functions as de­
mand deposits in commercial banks and Edge Act
Corporations.5
In general, TBI would compete with other fi­
nancial institutions in Houston, including the in­
ternational banking departments of the larger
Texas banks and Edge Act Corporation subsidi­
aries of other banks. Applicant cannot acquire a
majority interest in an Edge Act Corporation due
to restrictions on foreign ownership in the provi­
sions of the Edge Act,6 and cannot open a banking
branch or agency in Houston because of specific
prohibitions in the Texas Constitution.7
Section 4(c)(9) of the Act provides that the
prohibitions of Section 4 shall not apply to the
investments or activities of foreign bank holding
companies that conduct the greater part of their
business outside of the United States, if the Board
by regulation or order determines that, under the
circumstances and subject to the conditions set
forth in the regulation or order, the exemption

approximately $914 million is the eighth largest commercial
bank in California. The preceding data are as of December
31, 1974.
3Applicant also has a 4.9 per cent share interest in ChicagoTokyo Bank, Chicago, Illinois, a State-chartered bank, for
which prior consent of the Board was not required under §

would not be substantially at variance with the
purposes of the Act and would be in the public
interest. In § 225.4(g)(2)(iv) of Regulation Y, the
Board has determined that a foreign bank holding
company may, with the Board’s consent, own or
control voting shares of any company principally
engaged in the United States in financing or facili­
tating transactions in international or foreign com­
merce.
In the Board’s judgment, Congress intended that
section 4(c)(9) of the Act be primarily used to
prevent the nonbanking prohibitions of section 4
of the Act from unnecessarily interfering with the
essentially foreign activities and shareholdings of
foreign bank holding companies. The subject pro­
posal does not involve a question of the extraterri­
torial impact of the Act on the operations or
investments of Applicant, but rather involves the
question of whether Applicant may, with the
Board’s consent, organize a domestic corporation
to engage in international and foreign banking and
financing activities under section 4(c)(9) of the
Act. With respect to such investments in domestic
corporations under section 4(c)(9) of the Act, the
Board is particularly concerned that such invest­
ments be consistent with the purposes of the Act
and not give foreign banking institutions competi­
tive advantages in the United States over domestic
banking institutions.8
From the scope of banking and financing activi­
ties applied for in this application and the fact that
TBI would accept credit balances which could
serve many of the same functions as deposits in
international financing, it appears to the Board that
TBI would essentially function in Houston as an
incorporated international banking agency of Ap­
plicant. While TBI in the Board’s judgment is not
necessarily a “ bank” within the meaning of sec­
tion 2(c) of the Act, TBI would nevertheless serve
as another organizational link in Applicant’s chain
of interstate commercial banking operations.
Section 3(d) of the Act generally prohibits bank
holding companies from acquiring an interest in
a banking organization outside of their State of

8See the Board’s Order of January 9, 1974 (1974 Bulletin
139) denying Lloyds Bank Limited’s proposed retention of its

Corporation (P.R.); the Board’s Order of December 6, 1973
(1974 Bulletin 58) denying The Royal Trust Company’s
application to permanently acquire Information Systems De­
sign, Inc.; the Board’s Order of September 28, 1972 (1972
Bulletin 940) denying Banco di Roma’s proposed retention

principal banking operations unless affirmatively
permitted by the laws of the receiving State. This
provision was adopted as part of the original Bank
Holding Company Act in order to halt the further
multi-State expansion of certain holding compa­
nies then in existence. The only general exception
to this prohibition and federal restrictions on
multi-State branch banking9 is permission for
United States banking organizations to conduct a
limited multi-State international banking business
through ownership of Edge or Agreement Cor­
porations,10 both of which are specifically regu­
lated as banking institutions by the Board under
Federal law. While the Board believes that foreign
banks such as Applicant should be permitted to
own Edge Act Corporations and has so recom­
mended to Congress, the Board does not believe
that it was within the intent of Congress in enacting
4(c)(9) of the Act for the Board to use its broad
discretionary authority under that section to au­
thorize hybrid “ nonbank” vehicles designed to
permit the conduct of an international banking
business on a multi-State basis outside of the
explicit legal framework set up by the Congress
in Sections 25 and 25(a) of the Federal Reserve
Act. Consequently, the Board finds that approval
would not be consistent with the purposes of the
Bank Holding Company Act.
While approval of this application would result
in the addition of another competitor in interna­
tional banking in Houston, it appears that the
international banking needs of the Houston area
are being adequately served at the present time.
Moreover, approval could lead to a competitive
imbalance between TBI and its primary Edge Act
Corporation competitors in Houston, since the
activities proposed in the application are in some
respects greater than those permitted Edge Act
Corporations. While it may be feasible to define
conditions that would limit the activities of TBI
to virtually the equivalent of those permitted Edge
Act Corporations, no exact equivalent is possible,
as TBI would have certain inherent operating ad­
vantages— for example, it would be free from
reserve requirements. In this regard, the Board
believes that the effects of creating such a com­
petitive imbalance between Edge Act Corporations

and foreign-owned vehicles such as TBI are not
in the public interest.
Applicant has pointed to the Board’s approval
under section 4(c)(9) of the Act of Banque Nationale de Paris’ retention of French American
Banking Corporation (“ FABC” ), a New York
Investment Company,11 and Lloyds Bank Lim­
ited’s retention of Balfour Williamson, Inc.12 as,
in its judgment, precedents for the subject pro­
posal. In the Board’s judgment, the case of FABC
and currently operating New York Investment
Companies is distinguishable from the subject
proposal in many respects. In particular, New
York Investment Companies are organized pursu­
ant to a specific provision of the New York State
Banking Law, and their international and foreign
banking and financing activities, including the
receipt of credit balance accounts, are under the
supervision of the New York State banking au­
thorities.13 TBI is not being organized under a
specific statutory provision created by the Texas
legislature to provide for the conduct of interna­
tional and foreign banking and financing activities,
nor is it to be supervised by the Texas banking
authorities. Rather, TBI is being organized as any
other Texas nonbanking corporation under a gen­
eral corporate charter. Moreover, TBI would not
be regulated and supervised on a comparable basis
with competing Edge Act Corporations and the
international banking departments of Texas banks.
Lloyds’ retention of Balfour Williamson, Inc.
is also distinguishable from the subject case be­
cause from the record of that application, it ap­
pears that Balfour Williamson was engaged in a
much more limited international financing business
and did not maintain general credit balance ac­
counts of the type proposed in this application.
Based on the foregoing and other considerations
reflected in the record, the Board is unable to
determine that the subject application would not
be substantially at variance with the purposes of
the Act and would be in the public interest. The
application is therefore denied.

D issenting Statem ent of
G overnor W allich

I dissent from the Board’s denial of the subject
application. In my judgment, Applicant’s proposal
would not be substantially at variance with the
purposes of the Bank Holding Company Act, and
would be in the public interest. The establishment
of TBI in Houston would clearly be procompetitive, as it would bring the international banking
and financial services and expertise of another
large multinational bank to that rapidly growing
area. This not only would promote an increased
flow of international business into the Houston
area, but also would, in this case, especially en­
courage and facilitate additional trade and invest­
ment between Japan and the United States.
In general, I believe the United States and its
trading partners would benefit if each country were
to make every effort to improve the access of
foreign banks to its local and international banking
markets. In this regard, I share my colleagues’
hope that legislative action will be taken to permit
foreign bank ownership of Edge Act Corporations.
While I recognize my colleagues’ concerns, in the
absence of such legislation, I would use the
Board’s discretionary authority in section 4(c)(9)
of the Act to overcome existing impediments to
foreign bank entry that are illsuited for the present
international environment.
For the foregoing reasons, I conclude that the
subject application should be approved.

O rder A pproving Formation of Bank Holding
Com pany and A cquisition of Farmers State Insur­
ance Agency

Farmers State Corporation, Mountain Lake,
Minnesota, has applied for the Board’s approval
under § 3(a)(1) of the Bank Holding Company Act
(12 U.S.C. 1842(a)(1)) of formation of a bank
holding company through acquisition of 93.4 per
cent of the voting shares of Farmers State Bank
of Mountain Lake, Mountain Lake, Minnesota
(“ Bank” ).
Applicant has also applied for the Board’s ap­
proval pursuant to § 4(c)(8) of the Act (12 U .S.C.
1843(c)(8)) and § 225.4(b)(2) of the Board’s Reg-

could have placed an undue strain on the financial
condition of Bank. However, in view of the facts
as now presented, the financial condition, mana­
gerial resources and future prospects of both Ap­
plicant and Bank are regarded as generally satis­
factory and consistent with approval herein. Ap­
plicant’s present proposal evidences a significantly
reduced annual dividend rate to be paid by Bank
for debt servicing purposes as well as an improved
equity capital position for Bank. It appears that
Applicant will have the financial flexibility to ser­
vice its acquisition debt without placing an undue
strain on the financial condition of Bank, as well
as to assist Bank if any unexpected problems
should arise. Therefore, considerations relating to
banking factors are consistent with approval of the
application. Applicant proposes to raise the inter­
est rates on savings and time deposits, expand
consumer installment and mortgage loans, and
lengthen banking hours. While these improve­
ments in Bank’s services could likely be imple­
mented whether or not the application to become
a bank holding company is approved, consid­
erations relating to the convenience and needs of
the community to be served are consistent with
approval of the application to acquire Bank.
In connection with the application to become
a bank holding company, Applicant also proposes
to acquire the assets of Agency, which is presently
owned by principals of Applicant, and thereby
engage in the activities of a general insurance
agency, pursuant to § 225.4(a)(9)(iii)(a) of Regu­
lation Y. Approval of this application would insure
the residents of Mountain Lake a continued con­
venient source of insurance services, which result
the Board regards as being in the public interest.
Furthermore, there is no evidence in the record
indicating that consummation of the proposal
would result in any undue concentration of re­
sources, unfair competition, conflicts of interests,
unsound banking practices, or other adverse ef­
fects on the public interest.
Based on the foregoing and other considerations
reflected in the record, the Board has determined,
in accordance with the provisions of § 4(c)(8), that
consummation of this proposal can reasonably be
expected to produce benefits to the public that
outweigh possible adverse effects and the applica­
tion to acquire Agency should be approved.
Accordingly, the applications are approved for
the reasons summarized above. The acquisition of

2Banking data are as of June 30, 1974.
not later than three months after the effective date

ulation Y, to acquire the assets of Willis D.
Schroeder Insurance Agency, d/b/a Farmers State
Insurance Agency, Mountain Lake, Minnesota
(“ Agency” ), and thereby to engage in the activi­
ties of a general insurance agency in Mountain
Lake, Minnesota (population of less than 5,000
persons). The operation by a bank holding com­
pany of a general insurance agency in a community
with a population not exceeding 5,000 persons is
an activity that the Board has previously deter­
mined to be closely related to banking (12 CFR
225.4(a)(9)(iii)(a)).
Notice of the applications, affording opportunity
for interested persons to submit comments and
views, has been given in accordance with §§ 3
and 4 of the Act (40 Federal R egister 19542).
The time for filing comments and views has ex­
pired, and the Board has considered the applica­
tions and all comments and views received in light
of the factors set forth in § 3(c) of the Act (12
U.S.C. 1842(c)), and the considerations specified
in § 4(c)(8) of the Act.
Applicant, a nonoperating corporation with no
subsidiaries, was organized for the purpose of
becoming a bank holding company through acqui­
sition of Bank and operating a general insurance
agency. Bank ($8.1 million in deposits) is the fifth
largest of eight banks operating in the relevant
banking market1 and controls 10.8 per cent of the
total deposits held by commercial banks in the
market.2 Upon acquisition of Bank, Applicant
would control less than 0.1 per cent of the total
commercial bank deposits in the State. Inasmuch
as the proposed transaction involves a transfer of
control of Bank from individuals to a corporation
controlled by the same individuals, and since Ap­
plicant has no existing banking subsidiary, con­
summation of the proposal would not eliminate
any existing or potential competition, nor have any
adverse effects on the other banks in the relevant
market. Therefore, competitive considerations are
consistent with approval of the application.
By Order dated October 4, 1974, the Board
denied similar applications by Applicant to be­
come a bank holding company through acquisition
of Bank and to engage in general insurance agency
activities (60 Federal Reserve B u lle tin 787). In
that Order, the basis of the Board’s denial related
primarily to the financial requirements of Appli­
cant’s proposal, which, the Board concluded,




L aw D epartm ent

of this Order, unless such period is extended for
good cause by the Board or by the Federal Reserve
Bank of Minneapolis pursuant to delegated au­
thority. The determination as to Applicant’s insur­
ance activities is subject to the conditions set forth
in § 225.4(c) of Regulation Y and to the Board’s
authority to require reports by, and make exami­
nations of, holding companies and their subsidi­
aries and to require such modification or termina­
tion of the activities of a bank holding company
or any of its subsidiaries as the Board finds neces­
sary to assure compliance with the provisions and
purposes of the Act and the Board’s regulations
and orders issued thereunder, or to prevent evasion
thereof.
By order of the Board of Governors, effective
June 18, 1975.
Voting for this action: Governors Bucher, Holland,
and Coldwell. Voting against this action: Vice Chair­
man Mitchell. Absent and not voting: Chairman Burns
and Governor Wallich.

D issenting Statem ent of
Vice Chairman M itchell

I would deny the applications of Farmers State
Corporation to become a bank holding company
through acquisition of Farmers State B^nk of
Mountain Lake (“ Bank” ) and to acquire Farmers
State Insurance Agency. In my view, the proposed
acquisition debt to be assumed by Applicant in
connection with the acquisition of Bank is high
in relation to its equity. The high level of dividend
pay-out from Bank necessary for Applicant to
service such debt could inhibit growth in Bank’s
capital at a rate compatible with its projected asset
growth and could place an undue strain on the
financial condition of Bank, as well as impede
Bank’s ability to provide adequate banking ser­
vices to the community.
In sum, I do not believe that Applicant’s finan­
cial resources have improved significantly since
last October 1974 when the Board denied similar
applications by Applicant. Therefore, I vote again
to deny the applications.

of Bank H olding Com panies

American Bancshares, Incorporated, North
Miami, Florida (“ American” ), a bank holding




453

company within the meaning of the Bank Holding
Company Act (“ Act” ), has applied for the
Board’s approval under § 3(a)(5) of the Act (12
U.S.C. 1842(a)(5)) to acquire all of the voting
shares of ComBanks Corporation, Winter Park,
Florida (“ ComBanks” ), under the charter and title
of American. The factors that are considered in
acting on the application are set forth in § 3(c)
of the Act (12 U .S.C . 1842(c)).
American has also applied, pursuant to § 4(c)(8)
of the Act (12 U.S.C. 1843(c)(8)) and §
225.4(b)(2) of the Board’s Regulation Y, for per­
mission to acquire, in conjunction with the above
merger, ComBanks Mortgage Company, Winter
Park, Florida (“ Mortgage” ), a company that en­
gages in making, acquiring or servicing for its own
account or for the account of others, loans or other
extensions of credit normally made in the opera­
tion of a mortgage company, such as construction,
development, mortgage and other types of real
estate loans. Applicant has also applied, pursuant
to § 4(c)(8) of the Act (12 U .S.C . 1842(c)(8))
and § 225.4(b)(2) of the Board’s Regulation Y,
for permission to acquire the assets of ComBanks
Data Processing Center, Winter Park, Florida
(“ Data” ), a division of ComBanks, and thereby
perform data processing services for the operations
of the holding company and its subsidiaries, and
storing and processing other banking, financial and
related economic data, such as performing payroll,
accounts receivable or payable billing services, or
other similar financial services. The activities of
Mortgage and Data have been determined by the
Board in §§ 225.4(a)(1) and (8) of Regulation Y,
respectively, as being permissible activities for
bank holding companies, subject to Board ap­
provals of individual proposals in accordance with
the procedures of § 225.4(b) of Regulation Y.
Notice of the applications, affording opportunity
for interested persons to submit comments and
views, has been given in accordance with §§ 3
and 4 of the Act (40 Federal R egister 17344).
The time for filing comments and views has ex­
pired, and the Board has considered the application
and all comments received in light of the factors
set forth in § 3(c) of the Act (12 U.S.C . 1842(c))
and the public interest factors set forth in § 4(c)(8)
of the Act (12 U.S.C . 1843(c)(8)).
American, the fifteenth largest banking organi­
zation in Florida, controls 10 banks with aggregate
deposits of approximately $308 million, repre­
senting 1.3 per cent of the total deposits in com-

454

Federal Reserve Bulletin □ July 1975

mercial banks in the State.1 ComBanks is the 23rd
largest banking organization in the State and con­
trols seven banks with aggregate deposits of ap­
proximately $163 million, representing 0.7 per
cent of the total deposits in commercial banks in
the State. Upon consummation of the proposed
merger, American would control 2 per cent of the
total State deposits and would become the four­
teenth largest banking organization in Florida.
American’s subsidiary banks are located in
seven different banking markets as follows: four
in the greater Miami market and one in each of
the Gainesville, North Pinellas County, South
Pinellas County, Tampa, North Broward County
and Key Largo markets.2 ComBanks’ seven sub­
sidiary banks are all located in the Orlando bank­
ing market,3 where ComBanks controls 11.8 per
cent of that market’s total deposits and, thereby,
ranks as the second largest banking organization
operating therein. Neither American nor Com­
Banks has any subsidiary banks located within the
same market; and neither has any subsidiary banks
located in adjacent markets. Thus, it appears that
no meaningful competition presently exists be­
tween any of the banking subsidiaries of American
and those of ComBanks, nor is any such competi­
tion likely to develop in view of the market sepa­
ration and Florida’s branching laws.
Although consummation of the proposed merger
would foreclose the possibility that either Ameri­
can or ComBanks would enter the banking markets
of the other, the Board finds that there is little
likelihood of significant potential competition de­
veloping between the two banking organizations
in the absence of the subject proposal. ComBanks
has shown no inclination to expand beyond the
Orlando market and does not now appear to
possess the managerial resources to do so. Fur­
thermore, it does not appear from the facts of
record that American has the necessary resources

*A11 banking data are as of December 31, 1974, and reflect
all holding company formations and acquisitions approved by
the Board through May 31, 1975.
2The greater Miami market is approximated by all of Dade
County and the Hollywood area of Broward County; the
Gainesville market is approximated by Alachua County; the
North Pinellas County market is approximated by the northern
half of Pinellas County; the South Pinellas County market is
approximated by the southern half of Pinellas County; the
Tampa market is approximated by Hillsborough County and
the town of Land O’Lakes in Pasco County; the North Broward
market is approximated by the northern two-thirds of Broward
County, and the Key Largo market is approximated by the
town of Key Largo, all in Florida.
3The Orlando banking market is approximated by all of
Orange and Seminole Counties, excepting therefrom the com­
munities of Sanford and Oviedo, all in Florida.



to expand into the Orlando market in the foreseea­
ble future. Accordingly, the Board concludes that
consummation of the proposal would not have any
significant adverse effects on existing or potential
competition in any relevant area and that the
competitive considerations are consistent with ap­
proval of the application to merge the two holding
companies.
The financial condition of American, ComBanks
and their respective subsidiaries is considered to
be generally satisfactory. Consummation of the
proposed merger should result in greater investor
appeal for the consolidated banking organization
and thereby provide American with easier access
to the equity capital markets. Furthermore, con­
summation of the proposal should enable Ameri­
can to strengthen ComBanks’ present managerial
resources. The future prospects for the resulting
organization and its subsidiaries appear favorable.
Therefore, the banking factors lend weight toward
approval of the application. Although American
proposes no major changes in the services pres­
ently offered as a result of this transaction, the
considerations relating to the convenience and
needs of the residents of the communities to be
served are consistent with approval of the applica­
tion. It is the Board’s judgment that consummation
of this transaction would be in the public interest
and that the application to merge the two holding
companies should be approved.
In conjunction with the proposed merger,
American proposes to acquire Mortgage, a com­
pany that engages in the activities of originating,
selling and servicing real estate mortgage loans
in the Orlando market. As of December 31, 1974,
Mortgage had a mortgage servicing portfolio of
approximately $2.2 million and had originated
total loans of slightly more than $4.2 million since
its formation in January of 1974. American’s non­
banking subsidiary, American Bancshares Mort­
gage Company, Inc., North Miami, Florida
(“ ABMC” ) engages in these same activities in
Broward and Dade Counties, Florida. However,
neither Mortgage nor ABMC derive any signifi­
cant business from the market areas in which the
other operates. Therefore, the Board concludes
that the proposed acquisition would not have ad­
verse effects on existing competition. Further­
more, it does not appear that consummation of
the proposal would foreclose the development of
significant potential competition within the Or­
lando market in view of the relatively minor size
of Mortgage in relation to the market and the
numerous other competitors and potential compet­
itors in the market. It is anticipated that affiliation

455

L aw D epartm ent

with American will provide Mortgage with Amer­
ican’s managerial expertise in mortgage banking
and enable it to attract capital at lower rates, which
factors should facilitate Mortgage’s operations.
These increased capabilities may be expected to
result in benefits to the public in the form of
improved services and lower rates.
Also in conjunction with the proposed merger,
American proposes to acquire the assets of Data
(total 1974 billings of $775,000) and thereby per­
form certain data processing services for Ameri­
can, its subsidiaries and other business enterprises.
American does not presently have any data pro­
cessing facilities. On this basis, and other facts
of record, the Board concludes that consummation
of the proposal would not have significant adverse
effects on competition in any relevant area. In
addition, it is expected that this acquisition will
result in improved internal operating efficiency for
American and its subsidiaries, as well as permit
American to offer such data processing services
to other businesses. Furthermore, there is no evi­
dence to indicate that the acquisition of Mortgage
or Data by American would result in any undue
concentration of resources, unfair competition,
conflicts of interests, unsound banking practices,
or other adverse effects on the public interest.
Based on the foregoing and other considerations
reflected in the record, the Board has determined
that the considerations affecting the competitive
factors under § 3(c) of the Act and the balance

of the public interest factors the Board must con­
sider under § 4(c)(8) both favor approval of
American’s proposal.
Accordingly, the applications are approved for
the reasons summarized above. The proposed
merger shall not be made before the thirtieth
calendar day following the effective date of this
Order, shall be made not later than three months
after the effective date of this Order, unless such
period is extended for good cause by the Board,
or by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. The
determination as to American’s data processing
activities and the activities of Mortgage are subject
to the conditions set forth in section 225.4(c) of
Regulation Y and to the Board’s authority to
require reports by, and make examinations of,
holding companies and their subsidiaries and to
require such modification or termination of the
activities of a bank holding company or any of
its subsidiaries as the Board finds necessary to
assure compliance with the provisions and pur­
poses of the Act and the Board’s regulations and
orders issued thereunder, or to prevent evasion
thereof.
By order of the Board of Governors, effective
June 27, 1975.

Governors Bucher, Wallich, and Coldwell. Absent and

Announcements
APPOINTMENT OF
MR. JACKSON AS A MEMBER
OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS
President Ford on May 22, 1975, announced his
intention to appoint Philip C. Jackson, Jr., as a
member of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System. Mr. Jackson’s appointment was
subsequently confirmed by the Senate on June 25
and his oath of office was administered on July
14.
The text of the White House announcement
follows:
The President has announced his intention to
nominate Philip C. Jackson, of Birmingham,
Alabama, to be a member of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System. He
will succeed John E. Sheehan who resigned
effective June 1, 1975. He will fill the unex­
pired term of 14 years from February 1, 1968,
to January 31, 1982.
Mr. Jackson has been the Director and Vice
President in charge of the mortgage loan
department of the Jackson Company in Bir­
mingham, Alabama. He joined the firm in
1949.
Born on October 27, 1928, in Birmingham,
Alabama, Mr. Jackson received his B.S. degree
from the University of Alabama in 1949. He
did additional graduate work at Northwestern
University in Chicago.
Mr. Jackson is married to the former Barbara
Ellis Ritch and they have three children.

— Advertisements concerning extensions of
credit to be repaid in more than four instalments,
and for which no finance charge is stated, shall
state that the cost of credit is included in the price
of the goods and services involved.
— Credit transactions primarily for agricultural
purposes, where the amount financed exceeds
$25,000, are exempt from the disclosure require­
ments of Regulation Z and the Truth in Lending
Act.
— Any unexpired right of rescission in residen­
tial real property transactions is limited to 3 years
from the date of consummation of the transaction,
or the sale of the property, whichever occurs
earlier.
In its order the Board stated that, due to confu­
sion evident in comments received upon its pro­
posal concerning the right of rescission, that sec­
tion had been rewritten to make it clear that the
amendment does not extend the 3-day right of
rescission— that is, the right to decide not to go
through with the transaction— to 3 years, but only
limits to 3 years these unexpired rights that pre­
viously had continued indefinitely.

PUBLICATION OF ANNUAL REPORT
The Sixty-First Annual Report of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, cover­
ing operations for the calendar year 1974, is
available for distribution. Copies may be obtained

Industrial Production
R eleased for publication July 15

The index of industrial production increased by
an estimated 0.4 per cent in June following eight
consecutive months of decline. At 110.0 per cent
of the 1967 average, however, the June index was
12.4 per cent below last September. Increased
output of consumer goods and nondurable indus­
trial materials in June more than offset further
declines in business equipment and durable indus­
trial materials. The level of the total index was
revised upward for the previous 3 months.
Auto assemblies rose 8 per cent in June to an
annual rate of 7.2 million units. July car produc­
tion schedules indicate some further increase after
allowance for the model changeover period. Out­
put of household appliances and nondurable con­
sumer goods continued to expand in June, but
production of some durable consumer goods
changed little.
In addition to a further decrease in business
equipment, construction products continued to fall
off.
Production of most durable goods materials,
including steel and the equipment-supplying in­
dustries, declined further— indicating continued
efforts to reduce inventories. On the other hand,
output of nondurable materials, especially the tex­

1 Includes bonds rated Aa and A, data for which are not shown sep­
arately. Because o f a limited number o f suitable issues, the number
o f corporate bonds in some groups has varied somewhat. As of Dec.
23, 1967, there is no longer an Aaa-rated railroad bond series.
2 N um ber o f issues varies over time; figures shown reflect most recent
count.
N ote .—Annual yields are averages o f weekly, monthly, or quarterly
data.
Bonds: M onthly and weekly yields are computed as follows: (1) U.S.
Govt., averages o f daily figures for bonds maturing or callable in 10 years
or more; from Federal Reserve Bank o f New York. (2) S ta te and local

500

govt., general obligations only, based on Thurs. figures, from M oody’s
Investors Service. (3) C orporate, rates for “ New issue” and “ Recently

offered” Aaa utility bonds, weekly averages compiled by the Board o f
Governors of the Federal Reserve System; and rates for seasoned issues,
averages of daily figures from M oody’s Investors Service.
Stocks: Standard and P oor’s corporate series. Dividend/price ratios
are based on Wed. figures. Earnings/price ratios as o f end o f period.
Preferred stock ratio based on 8 median yields for a sample o f noncallable issues— 12 industrial and 2 public utility. Common stock ratios
on the 500 stocks in the price index. Quarterly earnings are seasonally
adjusted at annual rates.

NOTES TO TABLES ON OPPOSITE PA G E:
Security Prices:
N ote.—Annual data are averages o f daily or weekly figures. M onthly
and weekly data are averages o f daily figures unless otherwise noted and are
computed as follows: U.S. Govt, bonds , derived from average market
yields in table on p. A-28 on basis o f an assumed 3 per cent, 20-year
bond. M unicipal and corporate bonds, derived from average yields as
computed by Standard and Poor’s Corp., on basis o f a 4 per cent, 20year bond; Wed. closing prices. Common stocks, derived from com­
ponent common stock prices. Average daily volume o f trading, presently
conducted 5 days per week for 6 hours per day.




Stock M arket Customer Financing:
1 Margin credit includes all credit extended to purchase or carry stocks
or related equity instruments and secured at least in part by stock (Dec.
1970 Bulletin , p. 920). Credit extended by brokers is end-of-month data
for member firms of the New Y ork Stock Exchange. June data for banks
are universe totals; all other data for banks represent estimates for all
commercial banks based on reports by a reporting sample, which ac­
counted for 60 per cent of security credit outstanding at banks on June 30,
1971.
2 In addition to assigning a current loan value to margin stock generally,
Regulations T and U permit special loan values for convertible bonds and
stock acquired through exercise o f subscription rights.
3 N onmargin stocks are those not listed on a national securities exchange
and not included on the Federal Reserve System’s list o f over the counter
margin stocks. At banks, loans to purchase or carry nonmargin stocks are
unregulated; at brokers, such stocks have no loan value.
4 Free credit balances are in accounts with no unfulfilled commitments
to the brokers and are subject to withdrawal by customers on dem and.

The debt and ownership concepts were altered beginning with the
M ar. 1969 Bulletin . The new concepts (1) exclude guaranteed se­
curities and (2) remove from U.S. Govt, agencies and trust funds
and add to other miscellaneous investors the holdings of certain
Govt.-sponsored but privately owned agencies and certain Govt, deposit
accounts. Beginning in July 1974, total gross public debt includes Federal
Financing Bank bills and excludes notes issued to the IM F ($825 million).

residential building.

NOTES TO TABLES 19a A N D 19b O N PAGES A-70 A N D A-71, RESPECTIVELY:
1 Cayman Islands included beginning Aug. 1973.
2 Total assets and total liabilities payable in U.S. dollars am ounted to
$31,483 million and $31,609 million, respectively, on April 30, 1975.
N ote.—Components may not add to totals due to rounding.




For a given month, total assets may not equal total liabilities because
some branches do not adjust the parent’s equity in the branch to reflect
unrealized paper profits and paper losses caused by changes in exchange
rates, which are used to convert foreign currency values into equivalent
dollar values.

1 “ Total loans” include Federal funds sold, and securities purchased
under resale agreements, figures for which are included in “ Federal funds
sold, etc.,” on p. A-l 6 o f the May 1975 B ulletin .
Effective June 30, 1971, Farmers Home Administration notes were
classified as “ O ther securities” rather than “ Loans.” As a result o f this
change, approximately $300 million was transferred to “ Other securities”
for the period ending June 30, 1971, for all commercial banks.
See also table (and notes) at the bottom o f p. A-24.
2 See first 2 paragraphs o f note 1.
3 Reciprocal balances excluded.
4 Includes items not shown separately. See also note 1.
5 See third paragraph o f note 1 above.
6 Figure takes into account the following changes beginning June 30,
1969: (1) inclusion o f consolidated reports (including figures for all bankpremises subsidiaries and other significant majority-owned domestic
subsidiaries) and (2) reporting o f figures for total loans and for individual
categories o f securities on a gross basis—that is, before deduction of
valuation reserves—rather than net as previously reported.
7 M ember bank data for Oct. exclude assets of $3.6 billion of one large
bank.

N ote.—D ata are for all commercial banks in the U nited States (in­
cluding Alaska and Hawaii, beginning with 1959). Commercial banks
represent all commercial banks, both member and nonm em ber; stock
savings banks; and nondeposit trust companies.
Effective June 30, 1969, commercial banks and m ember banks exclude
a small national bank in the Virgin Islands; also, m ember banks exclude,
and noninsured commercial banks include through June 30, 1970, a
small member bank engaged exclusively in trust business; beginning
1973, exclude 1 national bank in Puerto Rico.
Beginning May 1974, member banks exclude and noninsured commercial
banks include 1 bank and beginning Aug. 1974, 2 banks engaged ex­
clusively in trust business.
C omparability o f figures for classes o f banks is affected somewhat by
changes in F.R. membership, deposit insurance status, and by mergers,
etc.
Figures are partly estimated except on call dates.
For revisions in series before Dec. 30, 1967, see earlier B ulletins.

M inus signs are used to indicate (1) a decrease, (2)
a negative figure, or (3) an outflow.
A heavy vertical rule is used in the follow ing in­
stances: ( 1 ) to the right (to the left) of a total when
the com ponents shown to the right (left) of it add to
that total (totals separated by ordinary rules include
more com ponents than those show n), ( 2 ) to the right
(to the left) of items that are not part of a balance sheet,
(3) to the left of memorandum items.
“ U .S . Govt, securities” may include guaranteed
issues of U .S . Govt, agencies (the flow of funds figures

also include not fully guaranteed issues) as well as direct
obligations of the Treasury. “ State and local g o v t.”
also includes m unicipalities, special districts, and other
political subdivisions.
In som e of the tables details do not add to totals
because of rounding.
The footnotes labeled N o t e (which always appear
last) provide ( 1 ) the source or sources of data that do
not originate in the System ; (2) notice when figures
are estim ates; and (3) information on other charac­
