      <title>Bank Industry Restructuring</title>
      <description>The committee heard testimony from the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan, and the head of the Federal Deposit Reserve Corporation, William Seidman, on efforts to restructure the nation's banking industry to limit the impact of failing banking institutions on consumers and other banks. Mr. Seidman said the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was "below the safety level," and the General Accounting Office's audit of the FDIC showed it may have only half of the $8.4 billion figure produced by the FDIC in late 1990. He said the new figures may put additional pressure on Congress to move faster on legislation concerning the banking industry. Mr. Greenspan spoke on the Bush administration's proposal to increase the borrowing authority of the FDIC to $70 billion, $25 billion of which could be loaned by the Federal Reserve. He dismissed the use of the Federal Reserve as a source for FDIC funds, saying there was no reason to use sources other than the Treasury. Borrowing from the Federal Reserve would set a precedent which may eventually reduce the Federal Reserve's available funds, thus limiting their ability to manipulate interest rates.</description>

      <title>Impact of Banking Reform</title>
      <description>The subcommittee heard testimony on banking reform proposals, and the possible effects of the proposals on bank depositors. Banking reform measures included legislation that would allow stable banking institutions to offer new financial products to consumers, such as insurance services or money-market funds, and legislation that would allow large branching systems for well capitalized banks. Items cited by the U.S. Treasury that directly affect banking consumers included a federal banking insurance program that would be less apt to use taxpayers' money to cover deposits in failed banking institutions, a larger choice of financial products and added convenience for bank patrons, and lower interest rates and improved credit for consumers and communities. Consumer representatives showed concern over the possibility that overseas banks could use loosened bank branching laws to acquire a large part of American banking capital, which may have far-ranging effects on credit. Comparisons were drawn between the deregulation of the savings and loan industry and the stated goals of the banking legislation. The testimony was marked with sharp exchanges between consumer advocates and Rep. Barnard, who supported the Treasury's legislation.</description>

      <title>Recapitalization of the Bank Insurance Fund</title>
      <description>Rep. Gonzalez spoke to reporters on the recapitalization of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the insurance fund that repays depositors in failed banks. The FDIC has been experiencing its own financial crisis in recent months; an estimate by the Congressional Budget Office predicted the FDIC would run out of funding in one or two years. A plan formulated by the Administration requested the authority for the FDIC to borrow up to $25 billion from the Treasury to cover its needed expenditures. Rep. Gonzalez, chairman of the House Banking Committee, called for action on the FDIC's funding problems to prevent another fiasco like the savings and loan crisis. He criticized the "numbers game" of the Administration's plan to bail out the FDIC, saying it continued the "loss prevention" game of the 1980's that resulted in the savings and loan crisis. He called for the chairman of the FDIC, William Seidman, and chairman of the Reserve Board, Alan Greenspan, to appear before the House Banking Committee to delineate clearly the Administration's policy to save the FDIC.</description>

      <title>Financial Industry Restructuring</title>
      <description>The committee heard testimony from William Seidman, chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, on the financially strapped FDIC. The FDIC, which provides insurance against losses of bank depositors when savings institutions fail, has little money remaining in its coffers to cover future bank failures; the fund has been predicted to run out in the next one or two years. The Bush Administration gave a legislative proposal to Congress earlier in the week which gave the FDIC the authority to borrow $25 billion from the Federal Reserve to cover future bank losses, with an added measure allowing extra money to be borrowed by the FDIC. In his testimony, William Seidman said the added measure in the Bush Administration's legislation would actually allow the FDIC to borrow up to $70 million from the Federal Reserve. Mr. Seidman predicted that the FDIC would have to borrow up to $35 billion "in a pessimistic scenario" over the next three year to remain financially solvent. He also said the necessity to use taxpayer funds to keep the FDIC afloat, a bailout scenario like the bailout of the U.S. savings and loans, was "highly unlikely."  The huge amount of credit authority surprised many observers, since it was a much larger amount than previously requested. It may signify that the FDIC's financial problems are much larger than previously believed.</description>

      <title>Financial Industry Restructuring</title>
      <description>The subcommittee heard testimony from Mr. Seidman, chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, on restructuring of the financial industry. Mr. Seidman advocated an eleven point plan to protect bank deposits, a function usually served by the FDIC, which is experiencing financial difficulties due to the number of recent bank failures. Mr. Seidman described his plan to secure bank deposits in the short term and his long term plan to reconstruct the financial capital of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. His plan involved increasing the amount of money the FDIC could borrow from the Treasury from $5 billion to $20 billion. Mr. Clarke characterized the hearing as being oriented towards remaking a financial system which had ceased to function adequately in recent years. He advocated entirely new and comprehensive solutions to solve the problems of the U.S. banking system rather than patchwork repairs to the existing system.</description>

      <title>State of Banking Industry</title>
      <description>Earlier in the week, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation seized the assets of the Bank of New England, the biggest real-estate lender in the northeast. Mr. Knight said that the seizure of the Bank of New England was symptomatic of the poor economy of New England than the banking industry as a whole. The Bank of New England's failure cost the FDIC approximately 2.3 billion dollars, the second or third costliest bank failure in history.</description>
