Senate Bill Leaves Bank Nonbanking Loophole Unchanged
The Senate approved a bill to curb banks from owning nonbanking firms by 77 to 1, preserving a loophole exempting over 930 conglomerates that control a single bank. Proxmire condemned the loophole while Patman denounced the Senate version as unacceptable, setting up a House Senate conference to reconcile the two drafts. The report also notes film showings at Bennington Hart Theatre and Williamstown College Cinema, with Easy Rider and Mr Chips in limited runs.

The ruling ties to desegregation funding, noting state aid to students at private schools is impermissible. Separately, the IRS revoked lead industry tax exemptions amid debate over leaded gasoline.
