[roleigh_for_web] Is the FDIC requesting banks to get backup generators? By Roleigh Martin @tc.umn.edu Thursday December 10, 1998 10:05 PM PST Very interesting post. If anyone works or knows someone who works for the FDIC or one of it's regulated banks, please drop me a confirming note if you can. If this is true and you are thinking of buying a power generator for a business, I'd place my order immediately! If this is true, this will place a big demand on commercial-size power generators. Readers, do not take the below as "Gospel Truth." This is only an unconfirmed rumor at this point. It is something that can be confirmed only with someone who has firsthand knowledge. That is the purpose of this post. --Roleigh From: "Mike" To: [a news group who prefers to keep their posts private] Date: Thu, 10 Dec 1998 21:12:55 -0800 Lifted from the news group.. mike -----Original Message----- On today's Chuck Harter radio show, Terry Reed, former CIA employee and author, was the guest. He had a couple of interesting observations. First, he said he had dropped by his bank Monday and found his banker poring over a new directive from the FDIC mandating the bank to install a generator to insure ATM operation in the event of a power failure. Usual threat of losing their 'insurance' if they don't comply. This will apparently be in the next 'Banking Package' to be delivered to the public to facilitate confidence in banks.
