         OCC ANNOUNCES SEVEN NEW ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS  AND THREE TERMINATIONS  

WASHINGTON, DC -- The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency today announced
the following enforcement actions taken against national banks.  The 10 actions released
today include: one consent order, one amended consent order, one cease and desist
order, four civil money penalties, and three terminations of existing enforcement actions. 

One of these actions is from a past year.  In reviewing the records, the OCC discovered
the inadvertent nondisclosure.  Therefore, it is reflected in the current list.  

A list of enforcement actions previously disclosed and copies of the actual documents
are available from the OCC's Communications Division by writing to:  Comptroller of
the Currency, Communications Division (3-2), Washington, DC  20219.  Requests made
by facsimile transmission should be sent to (202) 874-5263.  Please include the
identifying enforcement action number when placing an order.  Enforcement actions are
