Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 
working with their counterparts in other countries and with

        minimum standards with respect to robust banking and 
        supervisory systems, which individual countries should be 
        required to meet as a condition for the establishment of 
        subsidiaries, branches, or other offices of banking 
        institutions from their countries in the jurisdictions of the 
        countries participating in the accord;
            (4) immediately initiate with appropriate representatives 
        of the countries that are members of the International Monetary 
        Fund discussions aimed at securing national treatment for 
        United States investors in such countries; and

        markets, by--

                private sector, particularly commercial banks and 
financial institutions, in the resolution of crises.
            (2) Timing.--The Secretary of the Treasury shall submit to 
        the Committees on Banking and Financial Services and
