Des Moines, Iowa

August 10,1987

Pres. Reagan Agrees to Sign H.R. 27;
9Secondary Market Bill Advances

B

OTH the House and Senate last
week approved a final version of
H.R. 27 and sent it on to President
Ronald Reagan by mid-week. The
“ President was expected to sign the
bill at once and its provisions would
become effective immediately.
H .R. 27 contains several titles of
^im portance to the banking industry.
9 Am ong them is Title I, which closes
the non-bank bank loophole by pro­
hibiting further chartering o f such
banks. Present ones are grand­
fa t h e r e d as o f March 5, 1987, and
ihey may offer only those services
and products authorized by the Fed
for BHCs; they must confine asset
growth to no more than 7% per year,
^ b u t that provision is not effective
w for another year.
Title II im poses a moratorium on
new products and services for banks
until next March.
a
Title III recapitalizes the Federal
Savings & Loan Insurance Corpora­
tion. Congress approved an $8.5 bil­
lion rescue package, but reconvened
and boosted that to $ 10.8 billion as
£ requested by the Adm inistration as
its price for cancelling a Presidential
veto threat.
Another provision authorizes ag
banks (under $100 m illion assets,
0 25% o f loans in ag, and an ag loan
percentage no lower than it had in
January, 1986) to amortize loan

losses over a seven-year period.
A schedule setting forth the num­
ber o f days in which banks must
give custom ers credit for checks also
was included. An initial period of
funds availability calls for a mini­
mum o f two intervening business
days for local checks; i.e., in same
processing region. Non-local will
allow six intervening business days.
Those rules apply to August 31,
1990, when they will drop to one day
for local checks, four days for non­
local.
Both the American Bankers A sso­
ciation and the Independent Bank­
ers Association o f Am erica had lob­
bied heavily to obtain passage of
H.R. 27 and its predecessor bills.
Secondary Market Bill
The House Agriculture Commit­
tee concluded its work on H .R. 3030
at 2:30 a.m. last Thursday, August
6. That bill contains details for a
Farm Credit System refinancing res­
cue, as well as creation o f a secon­
dary market for ag real estate loans,
which has been pushed hard by both
A B A and IB A A in a join t effort.
House A g Committee Chairman
Kika de la Garza (D., Tex.) had ap­
pointed a special House Task Force
to work out details o f the bill.
The secondary market structure
the A B A /IB A A Task Force and life
insurance companies coalition had

wished for was basically adopted.
FCS had wanted control o f the
board for such a secondary market;
however the com m ittee’s proposal
would assign three seats to FCS,
three to commercial lenders and
seven to Presidential appointees.
H.R. 2435, which had been proposed
initially to create the secondary
market as requested by the banking
and life insurance interests, was of­
fered and adopted as an amendment
to the FCS H.R. 3030 bill.
The com m ittee’s bill also would
authorize FCS to securitize sepa­
rately a number o f their loans other
than real estate. This provision
would not becom e effective before
the ag real estate secondary market
became operative.
The ag com m ittee’s bill, H.R.
3030, will now go to the House floor
when that body reconvenes near
Mid-September.
Am ong those testifying before
the House ag com m ittee on behalf o f
the bill were these area bankers:
Randy Killebrew, chairman o f the
banker Task Force and president,
First National Bank, Petersburg,
111.; Paul Lindholm, A B A member of
the com m ittee and president, Farm­
ers & M erchants State Bank,
Clarksfield, Minn.; IB A A President
Tom Olson, president, Lisco State
Bank in Lisco, Nebr., and John
Dean, chairman o f the IB A A A gri­
culture-Rural Am erica Committee
and president, G lenw ood State
Bank, Glenwood, la.
