Thy blessings as we enter into our deliberationS'. Grant unto us the courage and the wisdom, the faith and the power, to truly represent those who have called us to this duty.

We pray that Thou wilt inspire in our hearts and our minds a sense of our nearness unto Thee.

We pray that Thou wilt indeed help us to better understand that which Thou hai:.<t called us to do.

Open our ears to music, let us hear spring's first flutes and drums,

* * * Amend Sec. 4, page 4, line 7, by striking out "4." and inserting: 2.

On the question, Will the Senate agree to the amendment&?

Senator STAPLETON. Mr. President, on House Bill No. 217, Printer's No. 3086, I would like to report a great deal of time, energy and work was spent on this bill. The Committee on Agriculture held at least four meetings with all groups concerned. The bill was amended several times in committee and then reported to the floor. I believe the bill is acceptable with its present printer's number. The Pennsylvania Townships Aflsociation had a great input, along with the input from the Pennsylvania Farmers' Association and the Grange.

Mr. President, I would ask my colleagues to vote "no" on the amendments as I feel the amendments would

and doe& what we said we wanted to do when we passed the "Clean and Green Bill" in 1974.

And the question recurring, Will the Senate agree to the amendments?

The yeas and nays were taken agreeably to the provisions of the Constitution and were as follows, viz:

Arlene, Early, Hank.Ins, Hill, Holl,

Andrews, Bell, Coppersmith, Dougherty, Dwyer, Ewing, Fleming,

Kelley, Lewis, Lynch, McKinney, Messinger,

So the question was determined in the negative, and the amendments were defeated.

And the question recurring, Will the Senate agree to the bill on third consideration? It was agreed to. And the amendments made thereto having been printed

as required by the Constitution,

On the question Shall the bill pas.'S finally?

broaden this bill beyond the acceptability of many of The yeas and nays were taken agreeably to the provi-those concerned. Mr. President, I would ask for a "no" sions of the Constitution and were as follows, viz: vote on the&'e amendments.

Senator MESSINGER. Mr. President, the bill in its present form applies only to agricultural land and only to land that has agricultural products where the gross income expected is $2,000 a year.

Mr. President, less than two years ago we passed what was commonly known as the "Clean and Green Bill" with the idea of retaining as open space not only agricultural land but all other open s'Pace land which would qualify under the definitions of that particular Act. There are many areas of forest land and open land which are not under this bill as it is now drafted. It is considered as agricultural land and some yields no profit whatsoever, but they are open land. If sewer or water systems pass the land, the expense of as'Sessment for those services along a very lengthy property would probably force those who are holding forest land, or whatever, to sell the land in order to get the money to pay the assessment. My amendments actually broaden this and they also take out of it the confusion in having the Secretary of Agriculture certify the land as agricultural land. Going to the amendment of the Municipal Authorities Act, when a municipal authority extends sewer or water lines, it would exempt from full asse5'.3ment those areas of open land that we wish to conserve and place the assessment on that part of the property which is being improved or which is using the municipal services. Later on, if the rest of the land is developed or subdivided, the assesi:.ment would then be placed against that land at the same rate-not less than the rate at which the contiguous properties were assessed at the time the lines went through.

Mr. President, I think it broadens the bill considerably

following amendments:

Amend Title, page 1, line 18, by removing the period after "clubs" and inserting: , permitting licensees to be open for business on Sunday, July 4, 1976 and providing for a limited suspension of the restrictions on the sales of liquor, alcohol, malt or brewed beverages on Sundays, for Sunday, July 4, 1976.

Amend Bill, page 3, by inserting between lines 4 and 5:

(b) For the purposes of implementing subsection (a) of this section, the operation of the provisions of this act which restrict or inhibit the sale or distribution of liquor, alcohol, malt or brewed beverages by a licensee on Sundays shall be suspended from 8 a.IIL on July 4, 1976 to 2 a.m. on July 5, 1976.

(c} The provisions of this section shall not apply to or in any way affect the operation of State stores.

Amend Sec. 2, page 3, line 5, by striking out "2" and inserting: 3

On the question, Will the Senate agree to the amendments?

Senator ANDREWS. Mr. President, I desire to interrogate the gentleman from Delaware, Senator Sweeney.

The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Will the gentleman from Delaware, Senator Sweeney, permit himself to be interrogated?

Senator SWEENEY. Senator ANDREWS.

gentleman what these Senator SWEENEY.

I will, Mr. President. Mr. President, I would ask the amendments do? Mr. President, the amendments

merely provide that any licensee in the Commonwealth will be permitted to dispense liquor on July 4th on to 2:00 a.m. on July 5, 1976.

Senator ANDREWS. Mr. President, would it be true that these amendments would provide only that the licensed dispenser& of alcoholic beverages would be permitted to dispense such beverages on Sunday, July 4, 1976?

Senator SWEENEY. That is correct, Mr. President. Senator ANDREWS. I thank the gentleman, Mr. Presi

dent. I would also like to take this opportunity to oppose these particular amendments. I really do not have any objections to the dispensing of alcoholic beverages. I do not have very strong opposition, really, to these particular amendments. However, one thing that has bothered me is that when we walk down the street or when we pick up a newspaper today, we see advertised Bicentennial cups, Bicentennial napkins and place mats, Bicentennial statues, Bicentennial license plates and Bicentennial toilet paper. Everything else is Bicentenial, and I think that we are getting to the point at which we are making our Nation's Bicentennial program and our celebration a big carnival. I do not think this is the direction we should go. I think we are really perverting the whole anniversary of our Nation.

Mr. President, I am going to oppose these amendments. I think we are overcommercializing the whole thing. It has become a money-making proposition. We should place a greater emphasis upon celebrating the spirit of America, rather than on a bunch of trinkets and doodads to which we have gone. I think we should oppose these amendments. I do not think our Bicentennial celebration should be a big carnival, a big circus in which everyone can participate. I am going to oppose these amendments. I am not .necessarily going to urge my colleagues to do the same. However, I feel that these words should be spoken.

Mr. President, I would ask for a roll call vote on the amendments.

Senator SWEENEY. Mr. President, I concur with the observations and the comments of my distinguished colleague. I think that he expressed more pointedly than I the reason that we should all vote for them when he stated that it is the spirit of the Bicentennial. This is precisely in the spirit of the Bicentennial.

Senator McKINNEY. Mr. President, I desire to interrogate the gentleman from Delaware, Senator Sweeney.

The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Will the gentleman from Delaware, Senator Sweeney, permit himself to be interrogated?

Senator SWEENEY. I will, Mr. President.

Senator McKINNEY. Mr. President, could the gentleman tell me on what day of the week July 4, 1776 fell?

Senator SWEENEY. Mr. President, I do not know that offhand.

Senator McKINNEY. Mr. President, I was wondering whether it was on a Sunday.

Senator SWEENEY. Mr. President, July 4th of this year is on a Sunday. As to the year 1776, I am not sure.

If

come in conformity, the restriction& containshall be relieved.

Amend Sec. 3, page 3,, line 21 by striking out "3" and inserting: 2



On the question, Will the Senate agree to the amendments?

Senator KELLEY. Mr. President, this bill cannot be looked upon singularly. It has to be looked upon with another bill which has been on the Calendar and is expected to reappear on the Calendar. That is a bill that would do for banking what this bill does for savings and loan associations.


Essentially, this bill has come to us under the guise of a Federal mandate. It comes to us because both the Commonwealth and the United States government license and regulate savings and loan institutions. Now, because the United States, through the Comptroller of the Currency, has seen fit to say that those. Federally regulated and chartered savings and loan institutions in the Commonwealth may have their branch banking anywhere in the Commonwealth, we, one of the legislative bodies and as part of the legislative process, are being asked in the form of Senate Bill No. 712 to permit statewide savings and loan association banking.

Essentially, if I or any one of us was opposed to this in principal, we would say we should vote "no." I feel a little bit more strongly about this than just saying "no." I feel that it is time that the Commonwealth, as one of the· states, stands up, in some form, in this beautiful Bicentennial year and says there is some relationship between the Federal government and the states. And that is, it seems rather incongruous to me that we can regulate on the one hand financial institutions which have the aspect of gathering in deposits and making out loans, and have that totally without control because the Federal government says that they can, in instances, be violative of what we have already established as a standard of conduct in conducting financial business; that is the regulation of banking, a principal office and having branching in all counties that are contiguous to the county in which the principal office is located.

Mr. President, essentially and openly I say to you these amendments gut Senate Bill No. 712 as it stands, but further go on to amend,. and rather harshly in the eyes of some people; but I say very minimally for us who believe that the banking institutions as they do conduct business in the Commonwealth now is the proper way to do it.

What I am doing is gutting the permissive aspect of allowing statewide savings and loan branching and adding a clause to say that those institutions who are in violation of the current standard of conduct, that is the principal office and branching in contiguous counties in location of the county to the principal office-if they are in violation of that as determined by the Secretary of Banking, those institutions will not be permitted to file and record instruments of security on their loans, being mortgages or secured transactions, and, further, that the Commonwealth moneys will not be deposited in those institutions.

I think it is time we stand up and get firm in our beliefs; the Commonwealth has a vested interest in regulating the financial industry of the Commonwealth without the interference of the Federal government.

Mr. President, my colleagues, if you believe as I do and as I said, I encourage you to support these amendments and put teeth and firmness in our convictions and our policy. I anticipate that there will be others who will come forth and say we are mandated to do it. I say we are not mandated to do anything. We have an inherent jurisdictional vested right to regulate with uniformity under the uniformity of regulations as determined by the constituents of the Commonwealth, not the bureaucrats in Washington.

Mr. President, I urge an affirmative vote. Senator ZEMPRELLI. Mr. President, with all due

respect to my illustrious colleague from Westmoreland,

Senator Kelley-I also have the privilege of representing some of the constituents of that county-it is unbelievable that I would have a diametrically opposed view on the same subject matter. It would appear that the gentleman has not only thrown the baby out with the bath water but has gone for the jugular vein ahead of time so there would be no chance of the child surviving, had she fallen from the water.

My colleague, the gentleman from Northumberland, Senator Kury, agrees with me in that respect.

Mr. President, the issue here is not one of federalism versus states rights. To that degree, as a matter of fact, I agree with the gentleman from Westmoreland, Senator Kelley, and that is the reason why, on today's Calendar, we have a Senate Resolution which addresses itself to the matter of memorializing Congress to recognize the fact that our State Laws are to be upheld. There is, however, a very fundamental difference between Senate Bill No. 712 and Senate Bill No. 711. I will attempt to address myself to both issues at this time so that I will not be repetitious at the time of the vote on the amendments; that is, that the action of bringing Senate Bill No. 712 out of committee was at the request of the Department of Banking which considers the dual system of banking in Pennsylvania to be in jeopardy.

The genesis of this concern by the Department of Banking is predicated upon a little maneuver that wa&i made by Century Savings and Loan Association in Pittsburgh that opened up an office in Breezewood. I saw that office; it is about as big as a postage stamp. Believe it or not, the Federal government, through the Home Loan Bank, approved this noncontiguous branching of a savings and loan association-out of Pittsburgh, into Breezewoodirrespective of the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, particularly the Act of 1933. But, in doing so, a request was made of the Attorney General of this Commonwealth on the basis of a case that came out of the State of Illinois, namely the case of Lyons versus The Federal Home Loan Bank, in which our statute, as well as the statute of the Act of 1933, was interpreted. In the interpretation of that Act, it was clearly set forth that the Act of 1933, or a comparable Act, did not preclude The Federal Home Loan Bank from allowing Federally chartered savings and loan associations throughout the United States of America to branch in noncontiguous counties.

Mr. President, the question that is involved by Senate Bill No. 712, although there are many here who are apprehensive about this being a thrust of statewide branching as far as commercial banks are concerned, is whether or not today we propose to maintain the dual system of banking in Pennsylvania. To that degree I am in communion with my colleague from Westmoreland, Senator Kelley, because I believe as strongly as he does that unless we maintain the integrity of dual banking in Pennsylvania, let us close the shop and get the dickens out of that business. That is how serious this matter is, and although the issue may be a feigned one as far as the Century Federal Savings and Loan Association is concerned, the issue involved is principally whether or not a dual sys.tern of banking, a dual system for savings and loan associations as you have it, will exist in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Mr. President, there is a fundamental difference and the proper question which might be asked at this time is

1976. LEGISLATIVE JOURNAi-SENATE 1515

this: If we pass Senate Bill No. 712 in its present form, what would prohibit us from passing Senate Bill No. 711, which, !in fact, i& the branching bill with respect to commercial banks? The fundamental difference is that the Federal Act dealing with commercial banks specifically states, in its provision, that the Comptroller of the Currency has absolutely no power, none whatsoever, to mandate noncontiguous banking and that we must abide by the local law, which is the prevailing law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which now prohibits noncontiguous banking. That however is not the case,. I repeat, as it exists in the savings and loan association mandate that took place with Century Federal Savings and Loan Association.

So, in my opinion, Mr. President, in my simple view, a vote on Senate Bill No. 712 is not a vote on the principles of Senate Bill No. 711. The apprehensions are unjustified, the overview, the apprehension, as far as our integrity to our dual system of banking rests with what we do with Senate Bill No. 712 in its unamended form.

Mr. President, for that reason, I ask the unanimous opinion of this Senate, in its unanimous vote, to vote down these lethal amendments as proposed by the gentleman from Westmoreland, Senator Kelley, and request a favorable vote on Senate Bill No. 712 to maintain the purity and integrity of statewide branching as far as savings and loan associations are concerned.

Senator KELLEY. Mr. President, I do not \vant to belabor the point, but I believe the gentlemen from Allegheny and Westmoreland have made a very valuable contribution to this issue.

First, Mr. President, I acknowledge the fact that coming in the back door is not the same thing as going in the front door; secondly, I believe that the issue is that of integrity. Now, what has been suggested by the previous speaker, Mr. President, is that we have no choice because the Federal statute on home loan bank chartering and administration of savings and loans, Federally chartered, is silent and the courts have said that, therefore, they can go ahead within any jurisdiction of any given state and have branch banking. But because the Congress saw fit in the banking aspect, the commercial banking, they are specifically prevented from doing it. So, what we are told now is that we, the legislative bodies, who supposedly are responsible to the constituents of the Commonwealth, have no choice but to embrace a contradictory system of banking.

I want to suggest, Mr. President, I think the most despicable, the most throat-bearing, choking aspect we could do to the Commonwealth in the financial flow would be to try to say, on one hand, savings and loans may have statewide banking or facilities, but the commercial banks cannot. I do not know how any one of us could go to our constituents and explain that inconsistency, not even the very distinguished and eloquent gentleman who preceded me here,

I just believe, Mr. President, and am not going to repeat myself, that this is the issue and I most certainly and intentionally, by these proposed amendments, have exactly said: Where is the jurisdiction, where is the responsibility, to set the financial standards of conduct in the Commonwealth?

I say, Mr. President, it is here with us today.

Senator COPPERSMITH. Mr. President, I listened to

the remarks of the gentleman from Westmoreland, Senator Kelley, and I must say he has presented the argument very cogently. Just as certainly as the number 712 follows the number 711, if this bill is enacted, we are going to have a bill enacting statewide branch banking for commercial banks.

Mr. President, I do not think under a back door maneuver we should adopt statewide banking in this Commonwealth. I have learned one thing in politics and that is the most plausible and rational reasons can be given to explain acts that are very difficult to justify, and, I think, to claim because one savings and loan opened a branch in Breezewood and it has not yet been dealt with by the Federal government, that is the reason to have statewide branch banking, it is, in my opinion, a very implausible and irrational reason.

The amendments of the gentleman from Westmoreland, Senator Kelley, deal with the problem squarely and frankly. I intend to vote for these amendments because they deal with the problem in a much more sensible and rational basis than to adopt statewide branch banking of savings and loans.

Senator MYERS. Mr. President, I am going to support the amendments of the gentleman from Westmoreland, Senator Kelley, because I feel that the present system of banking in Pennsylvania and the system of savings and loan branching has served the Commonwealth well. I do not believe that bigness in banks or savings and loan associations is necessarily best. I believe that the savings and loan people in the area throughout the Commonwealth and the bankers, whether they be large or small, are serving their customers properly. I fear, as the gentleman from Cambria, Senator Coppersmith does, that if we pass Senate Bill No. 712, Senate Bill No. 711 will follow and we will have statewide branch banking and statewide savings and loan associations in Pennsylvania. I think this would be a step backward.

I also feel that the Department of Banking of Pennsylvania, instead of coming to the Legislature and urging the Senate to pass Senate Bill No. 712, because of what they feel is an emergency situation created by the Federal Savings and Loan Home Board by approving a branch in Breezewood, is avoiding the issue. In my opinion, the Department of Banking and Governor Shapp should be standing up to the Federal government and saying to the Federal government that they should cease and desist by bureaucratic edict from forcing the Commonwealth savings and loan associations and Commonwealth banks to adopt branch banking. As we in the Senate did, by the resolution which we will be voting on to memorialize Congress to protect the dual system of Federal and State branch banking and savings and loan associations, I believe that Governor Shapp and the Department of Banking should be doing the same thing.

Mr. President, I am going to support these amendments. Senator ANDREWS. Mr. President, I am very happy

to speak on behalf of the amendments of the gentleman from Westmoreland, Senator Kelley. I think, perhaps, we are tilting at windmills, but, nevertheless, I join with him for virtually the same reason. I think it is a crime the way the Senate and House of Representatives in Pennsylvania react to dictates set forth by the bureaucrats in Washington. I appreciate that we have a resolution on our Calendar memorializing Congress. I think, perhaps; we-should send· these.resolutions. to the bureau-


crats down there because they seem to make more policy and do more damage than Congress does. However, I think that this is a very direct way of expressing to the Congress and to the &'avings and loan board in Washington our feelings on this particular issue. I am, quite frankly, tired of standing in the Senate and voting on bill after bill in which we are just reacting to dictates set forth by Washington. We have all kinds of bills which come before us that we are enacting because the Federal government has mandated this and they have mandated that. I would like to stand very proudly with the gentleman from Westmoreland,. Senator Kelley, and tell the Congress and the bureaucrats in Washington, "Hell, no, we are not going to go any further." I do not know whether this bill will last. I do not know whether it will be approved by a court, but I think if we adopt these amendments, we can send the message that we are going to assert our prerogatives aS' Members of the Senate of Pennsylvania and Members of the Commonwealth, that we are tired of the dictates from Washington, and that we are going to act upon our own legislation as we best see fit for the people we represent.

Senator HAGER. Mr. President, I rise also to endorse the comments of the gentleman from Westmoreland, Senator Kelley. There are, however, two basic errors he has made in his presentation, and I thought perhaps they ought to be pointed out for the record.

The gentleman blames this statewide banking and statewide branching of savings and loan associations for being throat bearing and choking, and I would like to point out to him, as all of us have been aware since he came here, he just wears his collars too tight.

Senator ZE1\1PRELLI. Mr. President, I think what we are forgetting here is, although I may very well agree with some of the arguments that have been presented, that bigness may not necessarily mean better. I can very well agree, maybe, with some of the other things that were stated; however, the point which is being missed here is the radical nature of the amendments.

These amendments would create chaos in the financial world. They would suggest that any institution that was branched on a noncontiguous basis would not be permitted to record its mortgages. That is preposterous. That would create such chaos throughout the financial world that it would be unbelievable. We would virtually look like a bunch of idiots for having passed a bill that would prohibit somebody from recording a mortgage simply because he went to an institution that was branched on a noncontiguous basis, which he does not understand to begin with. If there was any issue that was here it was purely one of big banks versus small banks, and I think it has never taken on the kind of bleeding from the streets that we have with capital punishment and that type of legislation.

Secondly, all of the savings and loan associations throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in terms of assets, would not match one large bank in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. If we are talking about a savings and loan issue, I think I can stand here and say with a degree of accuracy that the Philadelphia Savings Fund Society in its deposits are larger than every savings and loan association throughout the Commonwealth. I am sure that the Philadelphia Savings Fund Society is and that the Mellon Bank is, so that in terms of comparative size the issue we are talking about here has not

the magnitude that my illustrious combined colleagues would have it be.

Even more important than all of that is considered the mass exodus that would take place in charter changes from State institutions to Federal institutions. Therein lies the crunch. That is the meat of this bill, the effect, the result. The result is nothing more than this, stated in plain, concise language, that any savings and loan association that wanted to open a branch on a noncontiguous county basis would simply change its charter from a State charter to a Federal charter. My gentlemen friends of the Senate may stand here and orate and articulate all day long, but it is not going to change the law of the land. It has been decided by case law. Tii'&i: is, Lyons versus The Federal Home Loan case states that the Federal Home Loan Bank has the power to mandate, allow, sanction, permit, certify, however you want to state it, Federal savings and loan associations to a noncontiguous branching basis. That same privilege does not now exist to State-chartered institutions and will not until such time as we pasS' Senate Bill No. 712 in its present unamended form.

Mr. President, that is what it is all about, nothing more and nothing less. The dual system of banking is in jeopardy. The only way it can be preserved is by passage of Senate Bill No. 712.
