for processing, it will also be available for inspection at the offices 
of the Board of Governors. Interested persons may express their views 
in writing on the question whether consummation of the proposal to 
acquire the non-banking subsidiaries can ``reasonably be expected to 
produce benefits to the public, such as greater convenience, increased 
competition, or gains in efficiency, that outweigh possible adverse 
effects, such as undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair 
competition, conflicts of interests, or unsound banking practices.''

statement of the reasons a written presentation would not suffice in 
lieu of a hearing, identifying specifically any questions of fact that 
are in dispute, summarizing the evidence that would be presented at a
