New Federal Banking Agency
The new federal banking agency
would assume the regulation of na­
tionally-chartered banks, a duty
now resting with the Comptroller of
the Currency, whose job would be
terminated. In addition, this new
agency would regulate all holding
companies (other than the top 50)
whose lead bank is nationally-char­
tered. The new agency would assume
the present powers of the Fed for ap­
proving holding company forma­
tions and for adding to or deleting
from the “ laundry list” of approved
bank activities (with Fed veto possi­
ble as described above).
The FDIC Responsibilities
The FDIC would be out of normal
regulatory activities. With access to
exam reports, it could examine any
banks considered trouble spots, and
could examine banks at random as
part of its insurance inspection pro­
cess. Further, FDIC would be em­
powered to assess insurance rates
based on riskiness within banks, us­
ing the CAM EL rating system.
Another part of the Task Group
report included the recommendation
that all securities activities of banks
would be regulated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Pre­
sently, it involves SEC and bank
regulators.
Obviously, this Task Group pro­
posal must wend its way through

Banks Now Can Help
Veterans, Themselves
An unusual opportunity for banks
nationwide to help veterans of the
Korean and Vietnam conflicts is
available through the federal govern­
ment. The Emergency Veterans’ Job
Training A ct provides that one-half
of a job trainee’s beginning salary,
up to a maximum $10,000 reim­
bursement, may be paid directly to
an employer for a period of either
nine months in the case of an eligible
veteran, or 15 months for a veteran
with a service-connected disability
rated at 30% or more.
The program is administered
through the Veterans Administra­
tion, Department of Labor and State
Job Service. The rules are simple. In
addition to being a qualified veteran

as noted, the veteran must have
been unemployed for 15 o f the 20
weeks preceding his application to
the VA. This includes those laid off
due to current economic conditions
and are seeking retraining in more
stable occupations, and veterans re­
cently graduating from college.
The occupational training must
be in a growth industry, or one re­
quiring the use o f new technological
skills, or in an occupation where
there is a labor shortage. Of special
interest to bankers is the fact that
the U.S. Department of Labor has
determined that banking is a growth
industry; consequently, any banking
job that requires a three-month or
greater training period in a bank is
eligible under this legislation.
A single page application blank
for employers should be accom­
panied by a training outline for the
job approval sought. Interested
banks may contact the VA, State
Job Service or Department of Labor.
