By 1995 the ability of banks to sell insurance was more controversial than Glass-Steagall “ repeal .” Representative Leach tried to avoid conflict with the insurance industry by producing a limited “ modernization ” bill that repealed Sections 20 and 32, but did not change the regulation of bank insurance activities.

Similar to Senator Proxmire in 1988, Representative Leach responded to the House ’ s inaction on his Glass-Steagall “ repeal ” bill by writing the Federal Reserve Board in June 1996 encouraging it to increase the limit on Section 20 affiliate bank-ineligible revenue.

S. leadership in these rapidly developing markets ” by discouraging the movement of such transactions “ offshore .” In the 1998 Congressional hearings concerning the CFTC “ concept release ” Representative James A.

S. regulation with laxer foreign supervision.
