Banks Go on Legislative Offensive
•

By BEN HALLER, JR.
Publisher

HE NATION’S bankers have
been showing in recent weeks
they are taking the offensive in the
legislative arena with the United
States Congress. Too often in past
years, the banking industry has
^ been subjected to the necessity to
^ fight defensive battles because the
Congress or a third source initiated
action adverse to the industry.
Those incursions have resulted in an
a ever tightening ring around the abilWity of banks to compete with those
who have proceeded with immunity
and impunity to steal traditional
bank customers and services, while
q petitioning Congress to deny banks
any ability to expand their product
offerings to meet such competition.
It all reminds one in a perverse
sort of way of Dr. Paul Nadler’s
0 favorite story about the young boy
who killed his parents, then threw
himself on the mercy of the court
because he was an orphan!
However, say the leaders of bank0 ing industry groups, the time has
truly come to stand up and be
counted for legislation that will de­
termine the role of banking in the
future of the nation.
0 Both the American Bankers Asso­
ciation and the Independent Bank­
ers Association of America are push-

T
w

ing all-out campaigns among their
members to contact their Congress­
men by letter and in person to
assure that the moratorium on bank
services expansion is, in fact, killed
on March 1, 1987, as promised by
Congress when it approved that
moratorium earlier this year as part
of another banking bill. ABA is go­
ing all-out with the membership in
its “ Kill the Moratorium” drive,
while IBAA is pursuing the same
goal with its “ Keep the Promise”
campaign.

A constant stream of bankers
from all over the nation has been
concentrating in the past few weeks
on just that message—do away with
the moratorium, as promised, and
get on with the business of expand­

ing the horizons of new services and
products for commercial banks. The
feedback from Congressmen, gen­
erally, has been positive.
But bankers who feel this job can
be left up to ABA and IB AA lobby­
ists, their government relations
leaders, or to state banker associa­
tion officials to act on their behalf
are not facing reality. In fact, they
are playing a dangerous game with
the future of their own banks! Right
now, the industry is showing Con­
gress a united front seldom dis­
played in recent years. If that united
front is not borne out by each bank
owner, officer, staff member and di­
rector voicing his or her opinion to
the appropriate Congressmen and
Senators, then the hard-fought cam­
paigns will show weakness along the
front-line that will be overrun by the
opposition.
And the opposition is not stand­
ing idly by. Donald G. Ogilvie, ABA
executive vice president, warned
back-to-back banker meetings in
Washington this past week that
powerful lobbying efforts have been
mounted against the bankers’ posi­
tion with Congress by representa­
tives of the real estate, insurance
and securities industry. Their mem­
bers are besieging Congressmen to
extend the moratorium and/or to
vote solidly against any expansion
of banking powers or services.
Just after the ABA Community
Bankers Council and Board had met
in Washington, during which time

Legislative leaders of both ABA

operative Extension Service. A con­
tinental breakfast will be served at
8:00 a.m. followed by registration at
8:30. The seminar will conclude at

DUBUQUE: William G. Kruse,
chairman and CEO of First Dubu­
que Corp., whose only present subsi­
diary is The First National Bank of
Dubuque, and Tom C. Dunlap, chair- #
man of the Andrew Financial Corp.,
whose only subsidiary is the Andrew
Savings Bank in Bellevue, have an­
nounced that on November 11, a let­
ter of intent was signed by b o th #
companies to work toward a defini­
tive acquisition through a merger
agreement. This transaction would
make the Andrew Savings Bank the
second subsidiary of First Dubuque #
Corp. Both banks would continue to
operate as independent banks with
no anticipated change in officers or
employees.

pressed but, in general, the commit­
tee agreed to endorse the bill, while
working for acceptable changes.
IB A A ’s Federal Legislation Com­
mittee “ also supported empowering
banks to offer revenue bonds, com­
mercial paper, mortgage-backed
securities and mutual funds (pro­
vided there are no unacceptable
trade-offs required for the privi­
lege,” according to IBAA.
Sen. Proxmire and Sen. Jake
Gam (R., Utah), the Senate Banking
Committee minority leader, have
agreed to co-sponsor this bill. It was
to have been introduced on Novem­
ber 19.
Those attending the ABA A g
Bankers Conference also received a
thorough backgrounding on the
status of H.R. 3030 (“ Agricultural
Credit A ct of 1987” —passed by the
House in early October 365-49) and
its companion S. 1665 (“ Farm
Credit Act Amendments of 1987” —
approved 19-0 by the Senate Bank­
ing Committee in early November
and now on the Senate floor). This
Farm Credit System rescue effort
would pump up to $4 billion in the
ailing FCS. Of importance to banks
is Title III in H.R. 3030 and Title
V II in S. 1665 which authorizes for­
mation of a corporation to organize
and conduct a secondary market for
long-term farm real estate mort­
gages, a corporation which commer­
cial banks and life insurance com­
panies may access equally with the
FCS. The prognosis for that bill last

week was favorable for action prior
to the Christmas adjournment. The
usual “ it ain't over until the fat lady
sings” caveat was tacked on to all!
such forecasts.
