Giving per sonal insights on these legislative iprograms were the Hon. James Leach, U.S. House of Representa tives, Iowa First District, and the Hon. Fred Grandy, U.S. House of Representatives, Iowa Sixth Dis tr ic t. Because of their close identity with discussions on these bills and other related banking measures, a summary of their remarks follows. ) Rep. Jim Leach Mr. Leach said one impact of the 1986 tax law changes would be favorable to midwest agriculture. “The estate tax treatment of farm *land is such that I believe Iowa is on the verge of an explosive value in Iowa farmland prices, and this is not all due to the two-thirds reduction in current values. There are two places 1for a farmer to put his funds—in stock and in land—and I believe you’ll see some significant pur chases of land in the future. For twothirds of our farmers the worst is over, while one-third still face some difficult times.” On another m atter before Con Q l F irs t Interstate Bank We’re setting the paceo 1 - 800 - 362-1615 B ill M u llin s https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Correspondent Services Brian Hughes Investment Services Norwest Bank Des Moines, N.A.

After the August recess it will probably be moved along. He decried such haste, saying “it pre cludes many of us from properly having the input we should have.” He said the committee could write a bill that Congress wouldn’t pass “and th a t’s a strong possibility.” He said the policy of an FCS rescue shows that every person wants to preserve the borrower’s stock. There should be joint and several liability by way of a co-insu rance fund among the Land Banks to create an insurance fund to ac Dennis Earhart MNB Correspondent Banker Together We Can Accomplish Great Things complish such borrower protection. This would probably take five years to accumulate. Other policy state ments would include language to protect borrowers with forbearance instead of foreclosure, and a method of appeal before foreclosure. All of these things, Mr. Grandy stated, would “be contingent on creation of a new entity within the FCS. I think you can kiss their Capital Corporation goodbye. You may now see an Oversight Board or Temporary Assistance Board, with a five-year sunset, to take tempora ry custody of all monies in the Sys tem. This means Omaha would have to submit all its restructuring pro grams to such a board. We need some temporary centralization of control until we restore financial viability. Who should sit on such a board? All government officials? All FCS officials? Some farmers/ranchers? Probably some kind of combina tion. This board would sunset when the insurance fund to protect bor rower’s stock is completely funded. “Congress hasn’t made up its mind yet whether the FCA should be a regulatory body only, or have some quasi-superviSory authority.” Mr. Grandy also stated that “The secondary market is an odds-on favorite to get in the bill.

My guess is not the FCS because in the eyes of Con-® gress their credibility has suffered and certainly has not been enhanced by their actions and performance. “We need something in the bill to force FCS to be a better borrower—® perhaps by utilizing bond experts. How do you inject accountability in to the System?” Mr. Grandy said the main point right now is how much an FCS res® cue will cost. “We don’t know, and we:don’t know where the funds will come from, but I can’t see Congress, which bailed out Chrysler and Conti-^ nental Bank, letting the FCS die® out.” □ Ron Kiel Linda Rodehorst Investment Representative Correspondent Banking O fficer 712 - 27 7 -6 7 3 6 SECURITY N A TIO N A L BAN K IN SIOUX CITY, IOWA.
