Senator O'Gorman then laid before
the committee his suggestion to Tx
the amount of the capital of the four
regional banks at 10 per cent. of the
capitalization of the national banks
within the district. Under this scheme
the total capital stock of the four
banks would be approximately $loo,-
OOO, 900, but the capital of the New
York bank would be more than hall
the total.
The senator from New York also
proposed two plans for stock SUBJ
