                       References in Text

    The Glass-Steagall Act, referred to in text, probably refers to act 
June 16, 1933, ch. 89, 48 Stat. 162, as amended, also known as the 
Banking Act of 1933 or the Glass-Steagall Act, 1933, rather than to act 
Feb. 27, 1932, ch. 58, 47 Stat. 56, known as the Glass-Steagall Act, 
1932. Section 16 of the 1933 act, which amended section 24 (Seventh) of 
this title, related in part to securities activities of national banks. 
For complete classification of these Acts to the Code, see Tables.
