Federal Banking Commission are considering regulation, changing accounting practices require that Citibank to identify more information about the risks of their common subisidiary insurance bond, and perhaps increase the amount of capital it needs they continue economic development in the insurance sector.

The exchange rate in the accounts of Citibank was requested by the leaders of the Financial Guaranty Insurance Company, a competitor of American Municipal Bond Insurance Corporation, a unit of Citibank since 1986.

Peter J. Schmitt, Chief Operating Officer of Financial Guaranty, said yesterday that the USA was urban win market share in the affairs of insurance bond, due to eines”unlauteren competitive advantage because of accounting rules. ” ‘

Objections to the tactics

Mr. Schmitt objects Citibank’s practice Census $ 630 million capital as support for their insurance business and, at the same time that capital money available to the bank to support other activities.

James W. McLane, head of the Global Division of Insurance at Citibank, said:”We are already in our Ambac consolidation of annual accounts and compliance with the standards of lawmakers.”Did he added, dass”wir do not feel at this, that we need a capital increase at Citibank or Citicorp”zur cover the insurance business. He did not comment on possible changes in accounting rules of the President of the Confederation of regulatory authorities.

Alan Greenspan, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, and William Clarke, Comptroller of the Currency, in a letter, said a response to questions raised by the Financial Guaranty they are still in the development of specific strategies for capital required to secure protection against losses in various types of financial services, insurance and guarantees.

In principle, Mr. Greenspan and Mr. Clarke agreed that the risks of insurance policies must be included in the measure, as many banks in the capital of a company must comply.

Citicorp has a plan

Last month, Citicorp, he told planning to strengthen their capital base in the coming months by maintaining profits and sale of certain subsidiaries. A subsidiary of Citicorp could sell, banks analsyts said, Ambac Assurance. The Ambac”is a unit that can be sold, because it could quite easily packaged as separate companies,’’said Judah Kraushaar, a bank analyst at Merrill Lynch & Company.

In a letter dated 20 December 1989, Senator Steve Symms, Republican of Idaho, Mr. Clarke said his Büro”hat of Citibank that we expect to consolidate Ambac on its balance sheet in terms of computing power of their risk capital. ” ‘

According to estimates by the Financial Guaranty recognition of the risk that insurance companies insurance unit could Citibank, Bank of approximately $ 3.6 billion capital reserve, if the need was measured by the total princpal insured loan and interest payments. The additional amount would decrease by approximately $ 1.2 billion, if the need was measured only to retreat largest market.

Montana compresses with senior employees insurance

In his best finish loggers pay for a better supply of timber in California, Bruce A. Vincent felt cheated - not by the employee, but by the Montana Division of Workers’ Compensation. ”There was nothing that we could do,’’said Vincent, Business Manager for Vincent Logging Inc. Avec”le cost of Workers’ Compensation Insurance is high enough, we can not compete with neighbouring countries.

In his best finish loggers pay for a better supply of timber in California, Bruce A. Vincent felt cheated - not by the employee, but by the Montana Division of Workers’ Compensation. ”There was nothing that we could do,’’said Vincent, Business Manager for Vincent Logging Inc. Avec”le cost of Workers’ Compensation Insurance is high enough, we can not compete with neighbouring countries. We lose our people.”Other countries interested

Montana, the fourth largest nation by the State with a population of less than Rhode Island’s, is struggling with some of the highest accident rates for workers insurance the USA. Since 1980, the cost of insurance has jumped 126 percent, cutting the size of paychecks, driving some business and forced others to move, the state and the weakening of the state has already depressed the economy.

But the problem is not the only Montana. Other states, including New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado, Texas, Louisiana and Maine have troubled systems for the Workers’ Compensation insurance.

”I think you can see, concerns all over the place,’’said John E. Lacy Jr., director of government, industry and consumer affairs for the National Council for the provision of health insurance. ”The losses are coming in greater detail than in previous years.”

This is certainly true, Montana, where the State Workers’ Compensation Fund, which insures more than 80 percent of Montana businesses, we can expect a debt of over $ 140 million this year, from $ 81 million during the last year. And what makes the situation particularly frustrating is that losses are not the result of an increase in injuries, but mismanagement liberal distinctions and abuse judicial officials and State entrepreneurs said.

”I attribute this all a system that has been ignored and awry,’’said Robert J. Robinson, director of the Division of Workers’ Compensation in Helena, the capital of the country. ”The Tribunal has advantages, but nobody responds, until it is a crisis situation.”State Tax Adopted

The crisis eiternde now for about two years, was finally in the spring of this year started, if the state legislature, a law that judicial authority is diminishing, reduce and eliminate a number of benefits to lump sum payments and workers begin to retire the deficit of $ 140 million National, with a payroll tax of three tenths of one percent.

”We are very pleased,’’said Vincent, president of the Lincoln County Workers’ Compensation Action Committee Libby. ”With the old legislation, we paid for a sedan, we could not. All we wanted was an Oldsmobile and now we find ourselves.”

Libby, a small town surrounded by deep forest logging Cabinet Range of the Rocky Mountains in northwestern Montana, was a central point of the Workers’ Compensation debate. Even Montana’s governor, Ted withdrawal was shown here in the past year, riding down Avenue mineral in a skidder, a type of tractor to fetch newspapers in a march to protest Workers’ compensation costs.

Some of our enregistreurs”ne can not afford to continue in business,’’said Eleanor L. Vaughn, a state senator from Libby. ”If you do not have human beings, in newspapers, then you start losing your plate. And if that happens, everything starts to suffer, including your school and your main road of our resellers.” ‘Taking From Under our noses ”

The problem is quite simple. With the law, registration Montana businesses to pay $ 34.39 for Workers’ Compensation premiums for every $ 100 in the breakdown of staff. In Idaho, only 30 kilometres from the value is less than $ 18. And that surround it, Libby is 7500 square kilometres Kootenai National Forest, a region rich in timber larger than the State of Connecticut.

Medicare enlargement the debate on costs

In an apparent paradox, the congress is to expand disease, the Federal Republic of health insurance for more than 31 million elderly and disabled, as legislators recognize acute concern about the need for deficit reduction in the federal budget.

In an apparent paradox, the congress is to expand disease, the Federal Republic of health insurance for more than 31 million elderly and disabled, as legislators recognize acute concern about the need for deficit reduction in the budget Federal.

On the one hand, supporters of the legislation say it will not increase the deficit, because the beneficiaries pay the full costs through increased premiums. On the other hand, say the skeptics, costs of Medicare and other programs are often high-rise after the first invoice.

Senator William V. Roth, Jr., Republican of Delaware, said:”I find it ironic that we have a new program without a solid financial base, most of the time, we tried to Confederation excessive deficit.”

Mr. Roth was one of 11 senators, against the overall bill on the protection of Medicare beneficiaries against the costs of catastrophic illnesses. Although the role was Tuesday night, 86 senators voted for the bill, including those standhafter as a conservative Republican Orrin Hatch of Utah G., Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, Alan K. Simpson and Wyoming. Parliament has passed its version of the legislation by a vote of 302 to 127 in July. Easy compromise seen

Representative Fortney H. (Pete) Stark, chairman of the board and means subcommittee on public health and Senator Lloyd Bentsen, chairman of the Finance Committee, said they believed that this would be easy for negotiators from the two houses to reach agreement on a compromise bill.

Some conservatives, said the legislation on the wrong signal to world financial markets, indicating that the USA was not serious in its efforts to control deficit spending.

But in an interview yesterday, Mr. Stark, a California Democrat, said the turmoil on Wall Street, would not derail the bill. If the Conservatives try, disorders of tactical advantage, he said he would be in the form of benefits in kind. ”We would rally the Gray Panthers,”he said, referring to an advocacy group for the elderly. Mit”ihre savings at risk because of recent events on Wall Street, they need this legislation, more than ever, to protect them against the vicissitudes of age.”

Under the Senate account, the elderly did not have to pay more than $ 1850 for the year 1988 for a hospital or medical care services, Medicare. The House bill would separate limit values for Out-of-Sac payments for hospital care, $ 544, and doctors “, $ 1043, while doctors could be fresher. At least 800000 elderly birth more $ 2000, in such health costs last year. Reasons for support

Great estimates of the Congressional Budget Office, it appears that the House bill would cost $ 33 billion over five years, while the Senate bill would cost $ 22 billion. The legislator said that these factors explain their willingness to support these expenditures:

* Medicare recipient would pay for all new benefits through higher premiums, there will be no increase in the deficit of legislation.

* The accounts have already been far in the legislative process, so that they can not be affected by the new climate of fiscal austerity on Capitol Hill.

* In the long term demographic trends as the aging of the population have their own political force, even transcends concerns about the grave situation of the U.S. economy.

In a curious way, conservatives and liberals agree that the catastrophic insurance program was only a modest beginning. Senator Steve Symms, Republican of Idaho, he said der”camel’s nose under the tent.”Said Senator Simpson:”With jumps and limits the advantages to develop.”

Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, said he hoped that the programme wäre”erarbeitet be built auf”in the years to come. The Senate and the House and ask for invoices from larger studies to assist the advisory bodies to decide, such as funding more medical care and social services for the elderly, such as home care, home care and adult health crèche.

STATES ballot measures, if people say, Federal Office notion of limits won

The citizens of seven countries have signed Tuesday advantage of the concept of limit values for members of Congress, Republicans and leaders predicted yesterday that Congress would soon be a proposal to amend the Constitution to achieve that goal.

With the new vote, 22 countries voted the introduction of term limits to the federal legislature, despite many questions about the legality of such a restriction, if the laws of the State or a state constitution. On the other hand, there is no doubt that, properly drafted an amendment to the Constitution, the tenure of members of Congress, as well as the 22d Amendment, ratified in 1951, a double-word-limit for Speaker.

The new voice word limits, Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Nevada, on the same impatience and anger with politicians in place, inspired many voters to throw incumbents Tuesday. But they represented only a small fraction of the initiatives of ballots across the country.

In one of the nation’s most controversial, Oregon voters clearly approved a measure that would allow doctors to prescribe lethal doses of drugs for seriously ill people, wish to leave their life, “a dignified manner”. Preliminary results showed that 52 percent of voters in Oregon favorite of this measure, but the state said the results would not be safe, later this week because an unusually large number of absentee ballots had not counted.

In another ballot initiative, Georgians voted, one of the harshest criminal law, the delegation of life in prison for two hours violent felons. A ballot paper Californians extent that people are three serious crimes also face life in prison. Voters in Milwaukee and Kenosha, Wis., rejected handgun bans. Alabama, Alaska, Idaho, Ohio, Maryland and Utah approved measures to protect the rights of victims of criminal offences.

Florida residents rejected, 62 percent to 38 percent, a proposal that would have allowed no fewer than 47 casinos around the state. Supporters spent more than $ 16 million to try to convince voters that the casinos would be jobs and revenue, but opponents said rooms gambling would increase crime and corruption.

Rhode Island voters rejected casinos proposed for five cities and municipalities, whose main city, Providence.

Californians voted to cut off most public services for illegal immigrants, despite protests from Hispanic groups and the Libertären civilians, said such a ban, discrimination against ethnic minorities.

At the same time, Californians rejected a robust, promoted by the tobacco industry, the country would have uniform regulation of smoking, anticipation strict local regulations with a permissive rule of law. The proposal was rejected by 70 per cent of those voted.

With 73 percent to 27 percent of Californians also defeated a proposal, which drew up a programme of public service financed by health insurance for corporations domiciled in the country. Insurance companies vehemently against the measure, as it had similar proposals against one to pay the health care program at the federal level.

Wyoming rejected by an overwhelming majority, a ballot measure would ban abortion except in certain cases of rape or incest or if the procedure was necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman. Senator Alan K. Simpson of Wyoming, assistant chief of Republicans in the Senate, was in against the measure. Lorna Johnson, Wyoming life has prepared a campaign against him, said: “This is a very conservative electorate here. But Wyoming man to protect their privacy and sense of freedom, and they saw that this initiative attacked their fundamental freedoms by the Government in violation of their personal, private decisions. ”

Oregon voters rejected a measure had limited gay rights protection mechanisms. Idaho defeated nearly the same extent. J. Douglas Hattaway, a spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign Fund, a gay political organization, said the results showed that “the extreme views of anti-gay groups are not acceptable, Mainstream United.

The House of Representatives has yet to act on the plan. Speaker Thomas S. Foley, Democrat of Washington, said, it looks promising, but”,” aid Congress said the house, some members may not fund training embodied in the compromise.

The plan would allow a reduction of 0.43 percent auf”alle national and international programs laufen”von president of discretionary confederation departments and agencies. But it would be a flexible formula for cuts in military budgets, while the introduction of a more restrictive across the board cut on national programmes. Programs such as social security or illness, an automatic processing of benefits for those eligible, would be exempt.

The compromise, as an amendment to the bill for transporting funds, House-Senate conference participants with jurisdiction over different parts of the bill.

Both senators voted against the compromise was Jake Garn of Utah and Steve Symms of Idaho, both Republicans. Senator Jim Sasser, Democrat of Tennessee, was not available.

After the vote for the drug financing plan, the Senate approved another amendment to the freight bill would add that alcohol tests at random on the doping controls required Department of Transportation rules of flight crews, train drivers and professionals.

The Senate also approved an amendment, state and local officials, drug money as part of plan voluntary drug testing for students participating in extracurricular activities.

The vote on the plan of the drug situation has paved the way for the Senate to take into account expenses, invoices have been established by the Republicans stalled, the medicine until the matter has been resolved .

Voices in the house, now demonstrated the strength enterprise policy and “well-to-do taxpayers, and democratic management to continue to mount a campaign to fight against a reduction in the maximum tax rate on capital gains.

The plan of drug trafficking, Senator George J. Mitchell of Maine, most leaders said the compromise has more weight than the Bush plan has contributed to education and rehabilitation. ”The president’s proposal was insufficient for the painful task before which we find that in this country on drugs,’’said Mitchell. ”We now have an opportunity to improve it.”

But Senate Republicans credited Mr. Bush in the fight against measures to stimulate the consumption of drugs. ”I think the president’s strategy is solid and effective,’’said Senator Bob Dole of Kansas, leader of the minority.

Coach Sports of the Times, James should have Stuck It Out

You see the panel, or whose variations in each room of football in this locker pork Wait Esch-kicking country of ours. The shield is there to remind every fifth rope cannon lineman food, as the team coach himself, that the future of the free world depends on him. And when he finishes football team of frustration, “Now, the Son, ie one day, you simply end of life, too.”

Perhaps it was this character in the locker rooms at the University of Washington, where Don James joined on Sunday. That’s right. Don James of the University told his work and you throw in Puget Sound. Coach leave.

Don James stop after 18 seasons because the University was a trial period of two years expensive. It was powerful hook of a 27-0 vote trial period by other delegates of the Pacific-10 conference, but he has his anger about his own school of only 13 days before the opening match.

What James should have done to live up to the bromides in capital letters in each locker room. It would have toughed it out. So what if Washington can not in bowl games for the next two years? So what if Washington does not generate revenue on television this season?

Washington can still play, but the Pac-10 Washington, the share of swag, thank you very much. Read your opinion, the Pac-10 is protected against cruel, the parent company National Collegiate Athletic Association has the same two or penalty Auburn last week. And Texas A & M May lose the player for his alleged abuse.

Most coaches from school to test Stick it out schierer cussedness. The best revenge of Don James, he would have been that the fog North-West, klirrend its chains, shouting in the wind, like a spirit rachsüchtiger right of Shakespeare or Stephen King, if you’re not with them in the same sentence.

Indeed, the Pacific-10 Conference does not remove all its recruits with cornices, in its size-20 neck. The conference is not to prohibit all those who run the back with thighs the size of Sequoia trees. James, they have in some hellacious mission by the next two seasons of the trial period.

Is there a better way to start as against Bill Walsh? In early summer, the coach of Stanford lifted in a public collection and completions Washington as outlaw school. In his speech, won in newspapers, James Walsh has apologised, while at the same time it opens in Seattle on 4 September.

Washington’s interim coach, chap named Jim Lamb Right, the rally may still huskies “anger against Stanford, but he would have been more appropriate if James had to connect around.

James does not know the duck was a challenge, because the snow has climbed Mount Rainier, when he was 50. But it is described as seeking Gaunt, started to show its 60 years, after the stress of recent years.

All these, James has insisted that it was not his fault, and it is partly true. How could he keep tabs on a large part of managers and the two players sometimes have to share the same number? College Football is a hypocritical system, in essence, that players are reasonable and reduces students to pay their subsistence wages.

James said he never noticed the abuse of money for the University of recruits. He said he did not pay the players Booster summer jobs. And he said he never noticed one of its two senior quarterbacks, Billy Joe Hobert, spend money as a tourist goes to Bangkok with one year deserve.

The 21-year-old was suddenly modest means to pay the debt on a Camaro, Chevy Blazer and a Hyundai, plus car insurance, a pistol and shotgun, $ 2500 a friend and series parties. The rider came to a nice round $ 50000 for a loan Rudy him organise a Finn, a man who loves Seattle betting on football matches. But money was made by Charles Rice, a scientist, lives in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and is not any kind of Washington Booster. Rice was Hobert loan money at 10 percent, to be paid, if Hobert, signed a contract.

Guam is the Pace-Setter drivers to use seat belt

The government statistics indicate that this is a clear path for improving the safety of drivers used: move to Guam.

If only people in 50 countries use seatbelts, so consistent in Guam as drivers are thousands of people die less, according to officials, doctors, engineers and executives of car manufacturers and insurance companies. Only about 68 percent are now using, but if 85 per cent, a goal recently by President Clinton, highway deaths would be about 4200 per year, they say.

Last month, the National Transportation Safety Board said that the tightening of state laws on seat belts were a priority, George W. Black, board member, said that the 4200 deaths in vehicles outpaced all other forms of transport. Crashs air kill less than one tenth that in most years; wrecks train and boat sinking to kill even less.

Officials believe a seat 85 per cent space belt compliance rate should be achievable, given that Canada manages 90 per cent. The man used a seatbelt was a problem, because the tapes were invented, but the lack of action is clearly posted on advertising on children and vulnerable adults, were not belt construction and the situation have been killed on the road with airbags. With seatbelts, experts say that the risk disappears almost death for adults, children are, if the belt construction in the back, is in danger of airbags is zero.

In Maine, Oklahoma and Dakota, half or more passengers are unbelted. (The failure is low, New Hampshire, the only State is not that the use of seat belts and not report a number, not even Wyoming, which requires the wearing of seat belts, but not very violent.)

Guam, with a population of 140000, is taking shape among the 50 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, the Marianas and the Virgin Islands. In Guam, 94 percent of the belt front on board. Success, like Guam’s is within the scope of the balance of USA, Gil A. Shinohara, the governor of the highway safety representative, said by phone from his office in Agana, the capital.

A secret Guam’s success is a heavy fine. Guam’s $ 70, while most countries, a fee of $ 20 or $ 25 Oregon, a fine of $ 95 has a little over 80 per cent implementation rate. Idaho, a fine of $ 5, has a compliance rate of 59 per cent.

Guam issues many tickets. ”We have an aggressive campaign on seat belt use,’’said Shinohara. In notre”lois local and federal law, seat belts are mandatory,”he said. With Guam’s frequent showers, he said, roads are smooth and accidents are frequent, even if above the speed limit on the island is 45 mph. At a per capita basis, the Island Highway, the mortality rate is slightly lower than the national average so far this year. But comparisons are difficult to make because the island roads are so different from the great nation, alongside other factors.

Drivers’ Create finally makes a safer place for everyone in the car. A recent study by two researchers at the Ford Motor Company indicates that nearly all babies, young children and most remain moderate. But for children age 5 and older, if the driver was not buckled at least 20 per cent were children.

The Ford study was based on federal crash statistics. LA has the same effect by changing its laws. During the year 1994, when he had a sekundären””Gesetz, which means that a police officer is not a ticket for the unbelted unless the officer’s car took more than for some other offences, only half of drivers wearing seat belts, and only 45 per cent of children were appropriate restrictions. Until 1996, as ein”primäre”Gesetz into force, meaning that the police were able to pull a driver more than just being unbelted, the pilot has increased compliance to 63 per cent and 82 per cent of children under 5 were behave accordingly.

The legislature does not have a change of legislation on belting children, this improvement was a byproduct during the implementation of the rights of adults, “said Janet Dewey, head, air-bag campaign for security, by auto makers, maker of airbag systems, insurance companies and others to promote the use of the belt and putting children in the back seat.
