March 4/09 (Bloomberg) -- Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Sheila Bair said the DEPOSIT INSURANCE FUND COULD DRY UP amid a surge in bank failures, as she responded to an industry outcry against new fees approved by the agency.
Without these assessments, the FDIC could become INSOLVENT THIS YEAR, Bair wrote in a March 2 letter to the industry. U.S. community banks plan to flood the FDIC with about 5,000 letters in protest of the fees, according to a trade group.
