S&L; Insurance Bailout Voted
WASHINGTON — The Senate today passed legislation to pump $7.5 billion into the beleaguered Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp., the thrift industry’s deposit insurance fund, but refused to remove the bailout from a comprehensive banking bill.
The Senate approved the measure, an exact copy of one passed in March, by voice vote after rejecting, 62-37, an effort by Sen. Jake Garn (R-Utah) to strip the two-year aid bill of everything but the FSLIC recapitalization. On May 5, the House passed a two-year, $5-billion FSLIC proposal with no frills attached.
