Resolved by the Senate and House Of
Representatives of the United States
of America in Congress assembled, that
"(A) Every provision contained in or
made with respect to any obligation
which purports to give the obligee a
right to require payment in gold or a

incurred
Word of the Presidents action on
gold came as the Glass -Steagall bank
reform bill. carving provisions both
for emergency and permanent insur-
ance of bank deposits. and to require
the separation of banking and invest
ment businesses, was prepared for con-
ference
The Conference Committee VIII recon-
cile differences between the Senate bill,
passed yesterday and the one passed by
the House Tuesday. The two are SINH

insurance provisions.

Glass measure last session, said he IA

protection for the little bank which the
last bill didn't have"
Insured For One Year.
An amendment providing for insur-
ance of deposits in all banks for one
year, beginning July l. after which time
the Glass permanent insurance fund
would begin to operate was put into the
bill at the request of Senator Vanden-
berg, Republican of Michigan.
It also was approved without roll
call. 1t provides for the insurance OF
deposits up to $2.50o in Federal Reserve
member banks and State banks certified
by State authorities to be solvent.
The participating banks would be as
sessed one-half Of ! per cent OF their
total deposits to set UP the fund. They
could be assessed an additional sum II
necessary after January !, 1884.
During the life Of the fund, which
the Treasury would back with an ap-
preparation Of $4,000. .000. no partlci.
pant could pay more than 2la per cent
on insured deposits.
The Glass insurance clause, TO be-
come operative July l. 1884, creates
corporation with assets approaching
$4,000, ,000, 900 to guard deposits in re-
serve member banks and to speed ur
the liuuidation Of closed institutions

at the time of payment is legal tender

Amy such provision contained in any
law authorizing obligations to be issued
by or under the authority of the United
States is hereby repealed. but the repeal
of any such provision shall not invali-
date any other provision or authority
contained in such law.
"(b) AS used in this resolution, the
term obligation means an obligation
dncluding every obligation of and to

payable in money of the United States;
