Vol. 9 No. 47 Des Moines, Iowa A t Banking Leadership Conference— A B A Supports Federal Spending Cuts T T H E American Bankers Association’s Banking Leader ship Conference held in Washington on February 25-27, the more than 400 bankers attending the meeting passed overwhelmingly the follow ing resolution of support for the national economic recovery pro gram, now pending before the Congress, to achieve national economic self-discipline: “ The battle to control inflation is so important that we cannot afford to disagree over details. “ The urgent and overriding need is to reduce the growth of government significantly; the econ omic health of the American people depends on it. “ The American Bankers Associa tion enthusiastically supports the proposed spending reductions, knowing full well that some o f the cuts will apply to programs we favor. They should be enacted as soon as possible. “ Tax cuts are needed to encourage savings, investment and productivity, and these also should be enacted quickly. However, they should not be allowed to increase the federal deficit. “ W e also continue to support monetary restraint to control inflation and regulatory reform to lift unproductive and inflationary burdens imposed on all citizens and businesses. A “ The American Bankers Associa tion will act on its own, and it will encourage its member banks, to support the national economic recovery plan. I t may be our last opportunity to put America on the road to economic self-discipline and health.” Current Status A s of this writing, the Senate leadership apparently intended to speed up the legislative process by imposing spending limits at the start o f the process. B y utilizing this approach, the Senate budget committee sets an overall spending limit within which the appropria tions committee and its subcommit tees must make their decisions. B y M ay 15, all spending author ization bills must have been approved by the relevant commit tees, and the Congress must agree on an overall spending ceiling via its first budget resolution. B y September 15, Congress must agree on a “ final and binding” budget resolution for the federal fiscal year which starts in October. March 16,1981 A B A will report Congressional action on the economic recovery plan via recordings on its toll-free telephone number: 800-424-2871 (D.C.: 467-5288), 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern Time daily. W ith much o f the world watching to see whether Congress will be able to discipline itself, and with members of Congress looking to their constituents for the political support that they must have in order to make difficult decisions, it can be expected that far-reaching actions will be taken between now and September 15, The A B A statement said. Whether these actions are positive or negative depends in large part on the politicians’ perception o f the w ill of the people. And it is in that arena that bankers have an opportunity to make a difference, A B A emphasizes. Bankers Comment Sought In adopting their resolution supporting the economic recovery plan, the members of A B A ’s Banking Leadership Conference urged the members of the A B A to use their own influence as commun ity leaders to generate support for these proposals at the grass roots. M any bankers will have opportun ities to comment on the effort to achieve national self-discipline over the next few months while the proposals are being debated in Congress. I t is only through their perception o f what the people want that the members o f Congress will Don't gam ble when choosing a correspondent bonk. Com e to the professionals.
