SAVINGS AND LOANS
A Bailout with No Bucket
</hdr>
<body>
<p> Could the Bush Administration's savings and loan bailout get
any messier? Yes, in ways never imagined. In a surprise court
victory last week, the ailing Olympic Federal Savings of
Berwyn, Ill., convinced federal Judge Royce Lamberth that the
Government's Office of Thrift Supervision currently has no
power to seize the S&L. Reason: acting OTS director Salvatore
Martoche and his predecessor, M. Danny Wall, were never
constitutionally appointed to their posts.
</p>
<p> The decision could invite lawsuits from other insolvent S&Ls
seeking to avoid seizure by OTS. But the agency has received
temporary permission to continue taking over bankrupt thrifts
pending an appeal. Meanwhile, the Bush Administration moved
quickly to nominate T. Timothy Ryan, a former top Government
lawyer, as the new OTS chief and urged the Senate to expedite
approval.
