Summary

This data collection explores respondents' opinions about the savings and loan industry. Respondents were asked whether they had any savings in federally insured savings and loan institutions, whether they had withdrawn their monies within the last few months and, if so, the reason for withdrawal, and whether they planned to withdraw monies in the future. Respondents also were asked if they had heard or read about the financial crisis in the savings and loan industry, if this crisis has affected them personally or would in the future. Respondents were queried about their level of confidence in the federal insurance system's ability to compensate if savings and loan institutions go out of business, Bush's plan to raise money for the federal savings bank insurance program, and Bush's opinion that there was no danger for persons with money in savings and loan institutions. Additionally, respondents were questioned regarding President Bush's cabinet choices, specifically his nomination of John Tower as secretary of defense. Respondents were asked if Tower's nomination should be confirmed or denied based on charges made during confirmation hearings. Background information on respondents includes sex and age.
