WHEREAS, the Insured Branch is also desirous of having the time frame during which the deposits of the Insured Branch continue to be insured established at six months as provided in section 8(a)(7) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1818(a)(7); and
WHEREAS, as of March 8, 1995, the Insured Branch has entered into an agreement with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Board of Governors") to accept only those deposits as would be permissible for a corporation organized under section 25(a) of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. § 611 et seq., and implementing rules and regulations administered by the Board of Governors, 12 C.F.R.
