Summary

Identify every worker at the Federal Home Loan Bank Board and the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation and move them to the right agency. The heads of the Office of Thrift Supervision, the Oversight Board of the Resolution Trust Corporation, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Housing Finance Board, and the Chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (as of the day before the law was enacted on Aug. 9, 1989) must together decide which jobs and how many people will move to each agency. Then the OTS director, the RTC Oversight Board chair, the FDIC chair, and the FHFB chair must assign those workers to the agencies based on those numbers. They have wide discretion to make fair choices, but they must try to honor employees’ agency preferences within work units when possible. Workers at Federal home loan banks or joint offices who were doing work for the Board or Corporation before the law was enacted (Aug. 9, 1989) count as Board or Corporation employees for these moves. Also, people employed by the Corporation as a conservator or receiver before that date count as its employees if that conservatorship or receivership moves to the FDIC or the RTC.
