NEW BANKRUPTCY LAW - SOME PROVISIONS EFFECTIVE NOW, MOST OCTOBER 17TH

Most provisions of the New Bankruptcy Law go into effect on Oct 17, 2005, but some provisions went into effect when it was signed by President Bush on April 20, 2005.

Learn more about key components, the affects for Secured and Unsecured Creditors, and how it will impact procedures and results at the Bankruptcy Educational Forums for Creditors, presented by Resource Management Services, Inc. The content of these forums will include a general overview of the new law by Sam Gerdano, Executive Director of the American Bankruptcy Institute (June 2nd only). Nationally recognized experts Henry Hildebrand, Chapter 13 Trustee, and Richardo Kilpatrick, creditor attorney and former President of ABI, will jointly discuss this revolutionary new law in detail, from a consumer creditor's point of view. In the afternoon, Operational Procedures and Impact on Results will dominate the discussion in two simultaneous separate sessions for secured and unsecured creditors. The secured track will be led by Hilary Bonial of Brice, Vander Linden & Wernick. The unsecured track will be led by William Weinstein of Weinstein & Riley, P.S.

Please join us in Dallas, TX on June 2, 2005; Philadelphia, PA on June 22, 2005; or Los Angeles, CA July 28, 2005 for one of these important, timely, and informative sessions.

TESTIMONY OF GOVERNOR SUSAN SCHMIDT BIES
Chairman Bachus, Chairman Pryce, and members of the Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit and the Subcommittee on Domestic and International Monetary Policy, Trade, and Technology: It is a pleasure to join my colleagues from the other banking agencies to discuss the current status of Basel II in this country, as well as the Federal Reserve's views on H.R. 1226. The continued discussion among the Congress and the regulators--and, of course, the banking industry and other members of the public--is critical to the final implementation of the new capital accord.
