Washington Dec 21 a proposal by Representative Russell of Texas seeks a national bank guaranty. Every US bank would deposit a quarter of one percent of six months average deposits on January first. If a bank fails to deposit, a notice is mailed and a 30 day window triggers loss of charter and SAP intervention by the Comptroller. A $10 million special fund is created from a tax to cover depositor claims, with any shortfalls charged to the fund. Treasury notes would be issued against the fund to cover general government expenses.
