Scope and Content Note
The series contains records concerning financial services institutions, fiscal policy, pension funding, and securities regulation. The records consist of committee hearing testimonies, congressional statements, speeches, news clippings, reports, memoranda, bills, and notes.   Subjects include: Domestic Content Bill (Fair Practice in Automotive Products Act of 1984), regarding efforts to force domestic and foreign car manufacturers to use a certain percentage of American-made parts in their operations or risk import/export penalties.
Banking Reform Bill (1991), regarding federal funding for bank insurance companies in order to allow banks to expand across regions and business sectors.
Credit Crunch Relief Act (1993-1994), making it easier for banks to make loans to small businesses and farms by softening federal banking rules and requiring less paperwork.
Financial Services Modernization Act (1998-1999), allowing the banking industry to merge with insurance companies, brokerage firms, and other commercial financial services institutions thereby creating financial conglomerates.
Rhode Island Banking Crisis (1991-1993), involving the seizure of 45 financial institutions by the state after their private deposit insurance failed leaving some 200,000 depositors without access to their funds. The records include legislation Senator Chafee authored enabling the state to borrow $180 million dollars at a low interest rate as part of a bail-out package.
Securities Litigation Reform (1997-1998), requiring all class action suits filed by 50 or more parties and involving securities fraud to be transferred from state court to federal court jurisdiction.
For additional material on these and related subjects see the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee series.
