Important Legislation Is Deferred
Washington July 18 The seven and a half months session of Congress ended with many major issues left for December. Efforts centered on strengthening the financial system while rail and transportation reforms faced delay. Banking reform and deposit guarantees stalled as debate over branch banking continued.
