enable the Federal Land Bank of Texas and the Federal Land Bank of 
Columbia to temporarily provide service to new borrowers in the 
territory formerly served by the Jackson FLB;
    Whereas, on February 10, 1989, all territory assigned to the 
Jackson FLB was permanently reassigned to the Farm Credit Bank of Texas 
(successor to the Federal Land Bank of Texas) and on September 22, 
1989, all such territory, for the purpose of originating and servicing

    Whereas, on May 4, 1993, the FCA approved the accounts of the 
Liquidating Institutions for the period May 20, 1988, through May 4, 
1993, and REW Enterprises, Inc. was then discharged and released from 
all responsibility or liability to the FCA arising out of, related to, 
or in any manner connected with the administration and liquidation of 
the Liquidating Institutions during the period May 20, 1988, through 
May 4, 1993;
    Whereas, on May 4, 1993, the FCA Board, by FCA Board Action BM-04-

(Receiver) for the Liquidating Institutions and published the notice of

the Receivership Agreement, all claims filed by creditors and holders 
of equities have been paid or provided for, including, without

    Whereas, on January 12, 1995, the FCA issued to the Receiver a 
final Report of Examination of the Jackson FLB and the Jackson FLBA as 
of December 31, 1994;
    Whereas, on January 30, 1995, the Receiver distributed to the Farm

which consisted of the amount in excess of the amount necessary to wind 
up the receivership, for application against or repayment of any FAC 
bonds issued after the Liquidating Institutions were placed in
