 Interpretive Statements-Securities Act
The Securities And Exchange Commission has said that domestic branches of foreign banks that are subject to regulation substantially equivalent to that of federally- or state-chartered domestic banks doing business within the same jurisdiction will qualify for the bank securities exemption set forth in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
The Securities Administrator finds that the premise of the exemptions from registration for banks, savings and loans, and credit unions is that the issuing institution is under the close supervision of federal or state banking regulators.
The draftsmen's commentary to ยง402(b)(8) of the Uniform Securities Act, which is the corresponding section to RCW 21.20.320(8), indicates that the exemption is premised upon the "sophistication" of the listed institutions.

 Women Against the Internal Securities Act
We believe that the Internal Security Act is archaic, has been systematically used to silence criticism and political dissent and it contravenes international standards on freedom of expression and the right to a fair trial.
The Act was first enacted in 1960 in the context of a National Emergency, and was intended for a very narrow and specific purpose, i.e.
WAC calls upon all women's organisations and Malaysian women to oppose the Internal Security Act because it is a draconian act which violates the fundamental liberties and rights of all Malaysian citizens, both women and men.

The brief argues that collaborative underwriting activities occurring during the initial public offering of securities that are expressly or implicitly authorized under the securities laws, as well as conduct inextricably intertwined with such activities, are immune from the antitrust laws.
It also cautions that antitrust claims in the securities context must be carefully scrutinized to ensure that legitimate underwriting activities are not chilled by vague or conclusory allegations of impermissible conduct.
It argues that the district court properly dismissed plaintiffs' complaint for lack of jurisdiction, and that plaintiffs' claims represent an attempt to expand the Sherman Act's scope that is contrary to the FTAIA.

The fund is a diversified closed-end management investment company that is registered under the 1940 Act.
The fund invests its assets primarily in the securities of French operating companies, but would like to supplement those holdings with investments in a select number of French mutual funds as well as mutual funds organized under the laws of other European Union member states.
