It is false because Congress is not omniscient. That is one reason why Congress frequently delegates power to executive officials, as it did in sec. A presumption that Congress has resolved every question, with answers to be found if only the judiciary can look with a powerful loupe, would leave no room for the exer- cise of the delegated power. It is irrelevant because it assumes that a legislative belief, divorced from an enacted text, has legal effect. For example, if Congress repeals the price controls on natural gas expecting to produce an untrammeled market, this expectation still does not affect other laws that regu- late the market.
Unanticipated developments frustrate many a drafter.
So it was with sec. 85 without altering its meaning. None of the surviving text of sec. 92 imposes geographic limits on customers. Intent in the abstract cannot be used to decode a text, and therefore does not limit the scope of the Comptroller's delegated regulatory power.
