Political Quotes

On the recordApril 1, 1998
It is also a pleasure to report that once again credit unions had an outstanding year and their financial performance continues to be magnificent. Both the NCUA and credit unions were closely examined by the U.S. Treasury Department last year and both emerged with their colors flying high. You can all be very proud of the success, strength, and safety of credit unions across the country. Although all of the statistical measurements are very positive and highly encouraging, we do face some serious challenges. For instance, you have heard much importuning from NCUA and others about the critical need to become Year 2000 compliant. It is difficult to overstate the importance of this issue and it requires our maximum attention. It is also difficult to overstate the importance of successfully responding to the bankers' attacks on our field of membership policies.
