October 26,1987 Des Moines, Iowa Vol. 16 No. 28 New ABA President States Views • L J E AVY emphasis was placed on the slogan, “Kill the Mora torium,“ during th e A m erican Bankers Asso c i a t i o n annual convention in Dallas, Tex., last week. B uttons proclaiming • “Kill the Mora to riu m ” w ere pinned on everyc.H. pistor one, while the same message was pursued vigo r o u s l y in general sessions, work shops and private conversations. Keynoting this important concern of bankers today was ABA’s new pres ident, Charles H. Pistor, Jr., who is •chairm an and CEO of First RepublicBank Dallas. Here are excerpts from his acceptance speech that di rectly address the moratorium issue: “Banking has two agendas: near • te r m and longer term. When we go to our offices Monday morning, March 2, 1988, it must be with the full knowledge that regulators will be free to provide us the tools we •n e e d to serve our customers. We must make no mistake about it; to lose this battle can make all others moot. Our attitudes and actions should be galvanized by the predic a tio n s that the moratorium — in part or in full — will be surreptitiously extended over a protracted time. “The industry’s united response thus far is highly encouraging, and it is not necessary to carry this point further — except to cry out that none of us, for one moment, can underestimate the danger and diffi culty of this fight and to reiterate the absolute imperative that each of us, and all those whom we can influ ence, be committed to staying the course. Those who suggest that bankers are merely Roman candles, to burn brightly for a moment and then be gone, will be proved wrong! “Second, and more optimistically, we must appreciate that we are fac ing a new window of opportunity. Public sentiment is shifting in our direction. Newspaper editorials sup porting the need to unshackle the banking industry are proliferating. “A t the same time, key figures in the United States Senate have pledged a sincere new look at our service opportunities between now and March 1. Senator Proxmire’s proposed repeal of Glass-Steagall is an enormously positive step in the right direction. “We all know that those who would challenge our new admissions are likewise gathering momentum and time is not on our side. ABA members must understand how cru cial unity has become in today’s political environment. Our priority m ust be to unite with intensity and common focus so that we can sur- vive and thrive in that environment. Obviously, our industry is too di verse for us to have a seamless, com mon agenda, but equally obvious is the necessity for agreement to work toward achieving the common good for banking. “The joint statement of the major financial trade associations on Sep tember 10 has, in my mind, a Magna Charta ring to it. The nation’s six largest hanking industry trade asso ciations agreed to a common legisla tive agenda, calling upon Congress to let banks more effectively serve their customers. “The whole of our legislative and regulatory agenda is encased in lan guage which implores the Congress, the courts, and the regulators to let banks compete. But we must do a better job of explaining how our competition benefits the customer. In fact, our case will be made only as our call for freedom to compete is heard as ... lower prices, additional services, and jobs. “This is banking’s long termagenda — of serving fully and equal ly. The particulars will always be changing. Product definition is not the issue — process is. It is a never ending course of assessing, educat ing, persuading, and winning the right to serve. “Our goal is for full and open com petitive capabilities for banks both now and going forward.
