Gas Rationing Would Swamp Banks
GRAPHIC picture of the cha­
otic burden Congress has arbi­
trarily decided to
force on the na­
tion’s banks with
gasoline ration­
ing has been de­
scribed by J . C.
W e lm a n J r . ,
chairman of the
ABA Gas R a­
tio n in g T a s k
Force. Mr. Wel­
man is executive
^ WELMAN JR.
vice president of the First National
Bank of Minneapolis.
Mr. Welman has portrayed long
lines in banks, if such a plan evolves,
requiring 150,000 new tellers, as
many as 170 million new “ration”
accounts, legal chaos because such
accounts have no legal status, and
the banks paying for the whole
operation.
“ Congress has voiced its support
for the President’s standby gasoline
rationing plan, and America’s bank­
ers will do what we can to make this
plan workable,” said Mr. Welman,
following the July 30th rejection by
Congress of a resolution to dis­
approve the standby gasoline ra­
tioning plan.
“ But our concerns that this plan
is totally unworkable from the con­
sumers’, as well as bankers’ best
interest, remain valid. I am dis­

A

appointed that after we have worked
for seven years with the federal
energy officials, we weren’t able to
agree on a more realistic plan.
“We will continue to work with
officials at the Department of
Energy to try to lessen the impact of
what we see as major flaws in this
plan,” Mr. Welman said.
“Over the years the A B A ’s Task
Force has supplied reams of inform­
ation to the Department of Energy
on the capability of the banking
industry to operate various parts of
the gas rationing plan. There re­
mains a vagueness in this plan on
many operational points that in­
volve this nation’s banks,” Mr.
Welman stated.
“There remains an opportunity
for the Department of Energy to
lessen these deficiencies during the
pre-implementation period, and the
ABA Task Force will continue to
make every effort to work with the
Department of Energy to produce a
workable, cost-efficient rationing
plan,” he added.
Mr. Welman again outlined the
objections to the standby plan
which the A BA has presented in
testimony and in letters to every
senator and representative.
First, he said, because the plan
would rely almost entirely on com­
mercial banks to distribute gas
ration coupons, there would be lines

August 11, t980
at banks as well as at service
stations in a gas crisis. Mr. Wel­
man predicted that banks would
have to hire 150,000 tellers, at their
own expense, to distribute the
coupons, and that there would be in­
sufficient space in bank lobbies for
the additional tellers and customers.
Secondly, he said, the plan allows
individuals or firms to establish a
“ration rights checking account”
into which they could deposit gas
ration coupons and on which they
could draw “ration rights checks”
denominated in gallons of gasoline.
Because such a proposal could
add as many as 170 million accounts
to the 100 million total checking
accounts today, the burdens of new
accounts would swamp the nation’s
payment processing system, Mr.
Welman said.
“ Our third concern is that such
gasoline ‘checking’ accounts have
no legal status whatsoever, such as
under the Uniform Commercial
Code,” he said, “ and would inyite
legal chaos.”
M r. W elm an concluded by
stating, “ I want to emphasize that
over the years, the American Bank­
ers Association has continually
supported past versions of gas
rationing plans. This is the first we
have opposed. We have outlined
what we consider to be serious de­
ficiencies, but Congress has now
spoken on this issue and the ABA
will continue to work with the Ad-

Would Redefine Capital
Comptroller John G. Heimann
has proposed a revised definition of
capital for national banks and the
proposal is open for comments to
September 20. He proposes to elimi­
nate subordinated notes and deben­
tures upon maturity or by December
31, 1985.
He would also eliminate the in­
clusion in capital of reserve for loan
losses, ending this part December
31, 1981. He stated the effort is to
make capital more clearly reflect
actual equity capital. Reserves for
loan losses would still be vital to the
bank, he said.

Monetary Control Act
Startup Date Delayed
The Federal Reserve Board has
delayed by 60 days the starting date
for implementing the new reserve
requirements which call for non­
member institutions to carry stipu­
lated reserves at the Fed. An alter­
native is to carry the reserves with a
member city correspondent bank,
which would then be required to
handle them immediately on a strict
“ pass-through” basis. If the city
correspondent agrees to handle the
“ pass-through” arrangement, the

The Iowa Beer& Liquor Control Department is the exclusive source of alcoholic liquor (which includes wine) in the State of Iowa. Wine and
liquor is sold at retail in some 214 stores throughout the State operated by the Department. Taverns and other “ by the drink” licensees
must purchase theiralcoholic beverage supplies from the Department. The Department licenses beer wholesalers and retailers to operate
in the State and is not itself directly involved in the wholesaling or retailing of beer. Over 8,000 retail establishments are operating under
licenses and permits for the sale of liquor by the drink and/or beer. Iowa is one of the 18 “ Control States” which are wholesalers of
intoxicants. The Department reports that per capita liquor consumption is less in the Control States than in the “ open" states. During the
1979 calendar year, the most current year for which comparative figures are available, liquor consumption (excluding wine and beer) in the
Control States amounted to 1.70 gallons per capita compared to 2.19 gallons in the open states. Consumption in Iowa was 1.37 gallons.
Control States, however, produce a greater amount of revenue from alcohol than do open states. Per capita revenue in Control States in
1977 was $23.86 compared to $20.35 in open states. Iowa ranked 29th in revenue per capita with $20.62. The Iowa Beer & Liquor Control
Department is a State agency but has wide discretion in its day to day operations. As a result, it is able to operate on a “ business-like”
basis. The purchasing of over $70,000,000 of liquor and wines annually, as well as the mark-up to retail price, fall within the discretion of
the Liquor Control Council and the Iowa Beer & Liquor Control Department.
These bonds are being issued pursuant to Chapter 123 of the Code of Iowa, as amended by the 68th General Assembly, 1980, for the
purpose of paying the costs of acquiring, constructing and equipping a facility for use as a warehouse and offices for the Iowa Beer and
Liquor Control Department. In the opinion of counsel, these bonds will be obligations of the State of Iowa payable solely and only out of
the future net earnings of the liquor (which includes wine) sales activities of the State.

The XL Family product line from Pertec®
is the direct follow-on to both the highly regarded
KeyProcessing® series of data entry systems and the
sophisticated terminal and shared processor systems
Pertec® has produced for several years. Customer accep­
tance of these systems has been outstanding. More than
1,500 systems with over 7 ,5 0 0 operator display termi­
nals have been installed in 52 nations around the world.
Available at competitive end-user prices,
economical XL Family products offer advanced, state-ofthe-art software and a wide selection of high-speed
peripherals for maximum processing efficiency. Your
business operations can benefit from this outstanding
combination of price, performance and features in highvalue systems well equipped to satisfy the growing data
processing demands of the 80's.

*

The XL40 brings all the advantages of a
powerful data entry system to the tens of
thousands of smaller "keypunch" operations that until
now have been unable to afford a product with so much
sophistication.

W

Data entry is moved out of the keypunch
department into the office where docu­
ments are originally prepared. Actual preparation time
is speeded up, and the old-fashioned process of tran­
scription in the keypunch room is virtually eliminated. In
addition, users acquire the benefits of an on-line process­
ing terminal at substantial cost savings over those for
"mainframe" on-line terminal systems. And, since XL
Systems also perform numerous data verification and
editing functions, a great deal of expensive mainframe
editing time is no longer necessary.

Equally important, XL Family products are
true distributed processing terminal sys­
tems, with built-in features designed for multiple trans­
action operations—highly efficient multitask operating
systems, real-time and batch mode processing capabili­
ties, and timely information provided in any combination
of visual displays, printed documents and reports.
Operating system enhancements have
opened up numerous stand-alone business
applications. Simplified checkbox coding has dramati­
cally reduced programming time. As a result, superb file
structures can be used in such application areas as pay­
roll, order entry, inventory, accounts receivable and
general ledger, to name just a few.

mm

With their advanced communications and
printing capabilities, XL Family Systems
compete favorably in the large and fast-growing remote
batch and intelligent terminal market.
