...troubled lenders, a level four times as great as during the 1981-82 recession. And the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. expects 180 banks with total assets of $70 billion to fail this year. The cost of closing them will drain more than half the cash now in the FDIC fund that insures bank deposits, leaving a meager $4 billion on hand, unless something is done to shore up the fund...
Federal deposit insurance. All sides want to rescue the FDIC fund. The Administration is considering plans to levy a special assessment on banks or raise their insurance premiums to add at least $25 billion. The proposals would limit depositors to a total of $100,000 in federal insurance; in the S&L bailout, some big customers are being repaid the full $100,000 for each of several accounts...

Bush contends he is innocent of the charges...
Banking Committee chairman Henry Gonzalez and others have recommended that the FDIC curb its implicit commitment to make every depositor whole. But any such cutback in coverage of all deposits must be done carefully. The dominant fear -- some observers say obsession -- at the FDIC and the Federal Reserve is that large depositors might become so concerned about their money that at the first sign of trouble at an institution they would take it elsewhere, effectively breaking the bank. Analysts like Shaw have proposed that the FDIC restore its "modified payout" system, under which uninsured depositors get a prorated share...
