Disposition Authorities for Individual Classification for Headuqarters Case Files. Part B: Classification 84. Reconstruction Finance Corportation Act.

This classification was established in 1934 to cover investigations of violations of the provisions of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation Act, Title 15, Chapter 14 of the U.S. Code. The first case file is dated March 1934. Investigated violations include false statements made in connection with loan applications, speculating in securities of borrowers, forgery and counterfeiting.
