Theproposal, which was developed by NCUA, was rejected when theregulatory relief bill was introduced in Congress in July. "Wethink it's appropriate," John McKechnie, chief lobbyist for CUNA,told The Credit Union Journal Monday. McKechnie said Phillip Buell,president of Lima, Ohio-based Superior FCU's, will be asking aHouse Financial Services subcommittee to add both the risk-basedcapital provision and a separate proposal to increase the cap onmember business loans to 20% of assets into the regulatory reliefbill.
