In this connection, see memorandum and correspondence re membership of Inland Empire Bank, Umatilla, Oregon. . "Washington Office of FDIC advises that considera?-°n of application will be expedited if bank applies lor insurance, but that it considers an examination Or investigation and report by its own examiners to be necessary as a basis for action on any application 1-or insurance, particularly in view of provision re slcamination in subsection (f) (2) of section 12B.
