而且，由于北卡罗来纳州是美国首批解除对银行业务管制的州之一，第一联合公司 "得以尽早地涉足了收购公司和在资本市场保险、资产管理以及有价证券等领域中开展业务，这走在了解除金融业务管制法案的前面 "，该法案在 1999年 11月最终获得通过，高级副总裁兼欧洲和新兴市场总经理史蒂文·巴什这样说。

The range of services and products makes sense considering the contrast between satisfying a diplomat's personal banking needs, for which First Union's offshore mutual funds or an investment in its " tax-efficient " products may be appropriate, and the requirements of the defence, trade and industry, economy and cultural sections of an embassy.
服务及产品的范围使得有必要考虑满足一个外交官的个人银行业务需要－在这一方面，第一联合公司的国外投资信托或在其 "税效 "产品上的投资可能较为合适－与满足一个使馆的防卫、贸易和工业、经济及文化各部门需要之间的显著差异。

Bobby Pittman, deputy assistant secretary of the Treasury for international development, finance and debt, testified that along with the debt relief comes an effort to make sure that more foreign development, including aid from multilateral development banks, is given in the form of grants and not loans. "If we look at the history of development assistance for at least the last 40 years there have been a number of lend and forgive cycles. What this has basically meant is that in many of the poorest countries schools were built leaving the payments coming due to the children that were inside the schools," he said.
鲍比·皮特曼是负责国际开发、财务及债务的副助理财政部长，他在听证会上说，在减免债务的同时，还要努力确保外国提供更多的开发资金，包括来自多国银行的援助，这些资金必需是补助金而不是贷款。皮特曼说：“我们如果回顾至少这40年来开发援助的历史的话，就会看许多贷款跟债务减免的循环。在大多数情况下，这种事情意味着，在许多最贫穷国家建造的学校，要由在学校上学的那些孩子来偿还建设贷款。”
The United States moved away from loans in the 1980s, but Mr. Pittman said the banks, such as the World Bank and the African Development Bank, continued to make loans, which left many of the poorest African countries with unsustainable debt burdens. He said the shift to grants would go a long way to breaking this cycle.
美国从20世纪80年代起不再采用贷款的做法。但是皮特曼说，象世界银行和非洲开发银行之类的银行还继续发放贷款，使得许多最贫困的非洲国家背上无法承担的沉重债务。皮特曼说，把贷款改变成补助金会大大有助于打破这种循环。
