to consider, under the Bank Holding Company Act,
to decide proposed mergers and acquisitions involving
bank holding companies. The factors are the effects
of the proposal on the financial and managerial resources
and future prospects of the companies and banks involved
in the proposal, competition in the relevant markets,
and the convenience and needs of the communities
to be served. Transcripts and exhibits are presented
by speaker panel; each day's transcript and exhibits
are also presented in their entirety after the last
panel of each day.
