Senterfitt Sets Strong 1986 Course
T DIDN’T take long for Donald T.
Senterfitt to establish the direc­
tion he intends to move as president
of the American Bankers Associa­
tion during 1985-86. In his accep­
tance speech, following his advance­
ment to the presidency at the ABA
convention in New Orleans last
week, Mr. Senterfitt stated firmly
and with conviction, “ I have
another task this morning. And that
is to reaffirm to the people of the
United States that service to our
customers and our communities re­
mains the absolute top priority of
our industry.”
From that basic premise, Mr.
Senterfitt outlined a positive, ag­
gressive proram for ABA that is
designed to take the initiative in
legislation rather than having to res­
pond to critics and opponents. Mr.
Senterfitt is vice chairman of Sun­
Trust Banks, Inc., Orlando, Fla.
In his term, Mr. Senterfitt will be
accompanied by Mark W. Olson as
president-elect. Mr. Olson is presi­
dent, Security State Bank, Fergus
Falls, Minn., and has extensive ex­
perience in ABA work, most recent­
ly as chairman of the important
Government Relations Committee.
The new treasurer for a two-year
term is Thomas P. Rideout, presi­
dent and CEO, Savannah Bank &
Trust Co., Savannah, Ga.
Mr. Senterfitt succeeds Jam es G.

Cairns as ABA president. Mr.
Cairns will become chairman of the
ABA nominating committee. He is
president of the Peoples National
Bank of Washington, Seattle.
Citing the need for banking to
provide a ‘‘continuity of service to
custom ers,” Mr. Senterfitt said, in
speaking of failure to date to get ad­
ditional powers to serve those custo­
mers, ‘‘Congress accepted the false
premise voiced by our competitors
that banks ought not be allowed to
compete with them in insurance, real
estate, and securities services—say­
ing banks couldn’t handle those
powers equitably or safely. All the
while, these same com petitors
moved ever further into banking.
The American people’s faith in their
bank is strong. It underscores my
special message to each member of
Congress who accepts the glib no­
tion of our competitors that to
modernize banking laws is to anta­
gonize the voters at home.
‘‘Ju st the opposite is true...The
legislatures who vote ‘Yes’ to make
the security of banks available to
the voters will be able to say directly
to their constituents: ‘I have created
more choice, more safety, more ser­
vice, more competition, at a lower
price to you...and I have assured
that your money will be safe at the
bank.’ ”
Mr. Senterfitt then stated, “But

October 28,1985
to make this happen, there must be
action, not just discussion. That is
why, today, I am calling upon the
Congress and federal regulators to
break the logjam on the key issues
that must be resolved.”
To accomplish this, he proposed
that the Senate majority leader and
Speaker of the House urge banking
committee leaders in both houses to
meet with federal regulators of de­
pository institutions “and to task a
working group of their experts to
begin meeting regularly once each
month with representatives of the
regulated industries and representa­
tives of the public. This working
group should be charged by their
principals to assess legislative or re­
gulatory changes proposed by any
participant, hammer out areas of
agreement, and take back to their
principals proposals on which sub­
s ta n tia l ag reem en t m ay be
reached.” He said this would pro­
vide a “substantively real (opportu­
nity) to do something, not just
talk.”
He called for the definition of
“bank and deposit,” stating “there
must be no loopholes.” He called for
responsible reform of the deposit
system, putting large investors on
warning that they must analyze and
accept any risk in placing deposits
over the insured lim it...“we have got
to resolve against any merger of the
FDIC and FSLIC funds that would
result in commercial banks paying

the bill for trying to save a risk­
laden institution that is simply
beyond the point of no return.” He
also called on the banking industry
to ‘‘succeed in writing an industry
code on funds availability and other
consumer issues as well.”
He closed by asking bankers to
“Follow your instincts about the
American Bankers Association. Our
instincts tell us that we are far bet­
ter off because we have joined
together to make things happen.
Our instincts tell us...to provide top
rated, secure service—full service—
to every customer who walks in the
door. That is the bargain we strike
with our fellow citizens when we
start down the path of this, our
banking profession.' ’
