FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

Draft 1998-2003 Strategic Plan

AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

ACTION: Request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

BACKGROUND: In accordance with the Government Performance and Results

Act of 1993, the FDIC is soliciting for consideration the views and

suggestions of stakeholders potentially affected by or interested in

the FDIC's strategic plan.

The draft strategic plan covers the six-year period 1998 through

2003 and provides a framework for implementing the agency's mission of

contributing to stability and public confidence in the nation's

financial system. This is accomplished through the FDIC's three major

program areas--Insurance, Supervision, and Receivership Management--

that work to achieve the following results:

Protection of insured depositors from loss, without

recourse to taxpayer funding,

Safety and soundness of insured depository institutions,

Protection of consumers' rights and the investment by

FDIC-supervised institutions in their communities, and

Recovery to creditors of receiverships.

The plan can be reviewed on the FDIC's website, http://

www.fdic.gov, in the ``About FDIC'' section.
