The order targets self dealing and requires banks to credit life premiums to the bank, not individuals, citing abuses in Alabama and other states and linking the issue to broader go go lending practices.

Call for FBI charter limiting to criminal investigations
Senators Edward Kennedy and Frank Church urged a new FBI charter that confines the agency to crime investigations and bars domestic intelligence work. They warned a noncriminal standard for foreign taps in S 1566 could set a precedent eroding the criminal standard in the FBI charter amid debates on warrant requirements for foreign surveillance. They cited past abuses like Cointelpro and said there is no evidence that intelligence investigations protect the public from terrorism.
