Capital Briefs: FDIC Schedules Seminar to Discuss Its Role

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. is sponsoring a symposium Jan. 29 to discuss the role deposit insurance will play as banks expand their activities.

Speakers include Richard M. Kovacevich, Norwest Corp. chairman; House Banking Committee Chairman James Leach; and David E.A. Carson, president and chief executive of People's Bank in Bridgeport, Conn.

Panelists will discuss proposals to privatize some of the FDIC's activities and whether those proposals would reduce the regulatory burden.
