Vol. 15 No. 18

Special Bill Replaces Garn Bill
HE Senate Banking Committee
last week unanimously passed a
bill that replaces Sen. Jake Garn’s
omnibus banking bill, which he with­
drew recently after failing to reach
consensus on any of its major as­
pects. The replacement bill ad­
dresses a limited array of pressing
needs and includes these major
points:
• Establishes a financing corpora­
tion to issue debt in the capital mar­
kets to raise $15 billion in three
years to shore up the sagging
FSLIC fund.
• Gives federal regulators power
to sell failed or failing banks with
assets of $250 million or more to
out-of-state holding companies.
• Authorizes FD IC to create
“bridge banks” to take over assets
of failed banks for as long as three
years.
• Gives the Treasury Department
regulatory control over the govern­
ment securities market.
All these elements were included
in the bill of Sen. Garn (R., Utah),
chairman of the Senate Banking
Committee. When pressure groups
from all sides prevented progress of
the bill through committee, he
dropped it August 7.
The new bill does not address the
issue of non-bank banks. Sen. Wil­
liam Proxmire (D., Wis.) attempted
to amend the committee bill to pro­

T

hibit establishment of such banks American Bankers A ssociation,
for one year, but withdrew the which supports Sen. Garn’s earlier
amendment when it was evident he proposal that closing of the non­
lacked enough votes. He has vowed bank bank loophole should be ac­
to offer the amendment on the Se­ companied by expanded bank
nate floor and, if that fails, to filibus­ powers. The Proxmire amendment
addresses only the loophole closing,
ter the package bill.
which the Independent Bankers As­
sociation would welcome, regardless
of what else is passed.
The House has not been idle on its
banking bill efforts. Banking Com­
mittee Chairman Fernand S t Ger­
main has delayed a banking bill until
it includes closure of the loophole.
Chairman S t Germain did introduce
a bill August 8 that would extend
to September 15 the emergency
takeover production of the Gam- St
Germain Bill of 1982. That power
expired recently, on the same day
FD IC used its authority to allow
First Interstate Bank Corp. of Los
Angeles to take over one of Okla­
homa’s largest banks in Oklahoma
City.
The House Banking Committee
Many Washington observers feel
the $15 billion aid package to FSL IC also approved on August 13 a bill to
is too little. The agency, by its own exempt federal regulators from the
acknowledgement in recent months, automatic budget cuts mandated by

much as $28 to $30 billion. The cur­ since the agencies are not tax-sup­
rent fund is only $6 billion and that ported. However, it appears that

billion dollars of commitments.
Sen. Proxmire’s intended amend­ may be opposed to any such amend­
ment creates a sticky wicket for the ment to the bill.

D ES M OINES: Hawkeye Bancor-,
poration reported July 30 a consoli­
dated net loss of $13.9 million for
the second quarter of 1986, com­
pared to a loss of $500,000 for the
1985 second quarter. The 1985
period had a non-recurring securities
gain of $7.3 million. The other $6.6
million was due to effects of problem
loans on net interest margin and in­
creased writedowns of other real
estate. This brought Hawkeye’s net
loss for the first half of 1986 to $22.1
million, compared to a $6.5 million
loss for the same 1985 period. Non­
performing assets, including nonac­
crual loans, restructured loans and
other real estate, decreased $15.1
million to $85 million at June 30,
from $100.1 million at the end of
first quarter 1986. Hawkeye Presi­

the following day as the Graettinger
branch of Swea City State Bank.
The purchaser assumed deposits of
$11.4 million in 2,600 accounts, ju st
