St Germain Issues Poison Pill!
_
*

1 1 # HEN House Banking CommitV V tee Chairman Fernand St Ger­
main (D., R.I.) issued the second
draft of his banking bill, The 1988
Depository Institutions Act, it was
the reverse of what the banking in® dustry had long been lobbying for
and had high hopes for in its effort
to compete on an equal footing with
lesser-regulated and Congressional^ ly-favored non-bank competitors.
Instead of a thoughtful piece of
legislation that would give the bank­
ing industry the tools it needs to
meet competition, give its custoA mers expanded services, and build
an even stronger base to add
^fetrength to the nation’s economic
^^tiber, the industry was given a blue­
print for further degrading and han£ dicapping it by imposing new reg­
ulations, which don’t apply to non­
bank competitors who gloatingly
are allowed to steal banks’ business
w ithout being handicapped by
^ federal regulations.
Rep. St. Germain’s apparent slo­
gan of “damn the bankers, full speed
ahead for their competitors” is a
philosophy adopted by so many of
£ his colleagues that any current ef­
fort by banking lobbyists for a sane
approach to modernizing h a n k i n g
powers has been turned into a war
zone.
•
Without a major overhaul, which
does not seem too likely, the House

Bill proposed by Rep. St Germain
will require vigorous lobbying by
the banking industry to accomplish
its total defeat.

You can’t build things overnight and ex­

United Missouri Bank has heeded while building
their own solid investment portfolio as well as
their successful Investment Banking Division.
Recently, several banks in the Midwest
forgot the moral behind this enduring fable.
Tempted by the possibility of a quick boost in
earnings, their investment officers purchased

unproven, high yield investment products.
When unexpected changes in the market
occurred, the banks suffered substantial
capital losses.
Since 1928, United Missouri has re­
searched, analyzed and offered only top-quality
securities and investment strategies. Contact
