...hearings, Bank of Montreal Chairman G. Arnold Hart protested that "such an arbitrary and discriminatory" act could only "lay us open to retaliation." Possibly so. If the bill passes, the next U.S. Congress will probably act on a measure, sponsored by New York's Republican Sena tor Jacob Javits, that provides tit-for-tat treatment for countries where U.S. banks are unfairly hampered...
