                U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We are pleased to be here today to discuss our report on

the   ternational activities of ban~j   That report, the result

of your request, covered many topics in the international banking

area, but it focused primarily on the activities of foreign banks

and foreign individuals in the U.S. banking industry.

    We found that although the International Banking Act of 1978

has provided for more equal treatment of foreign and domestic

banks in the United States, foreign banks continue to realize

some advantages over domestic banks. The greatest advantage

which many foreign banks have is the ability to buy large-to-

medium U.S. banks %hich, in most cases, other U.S. banks would

not be permitted to buy.
