1Opinion of the Court

Opinion for the court filed by Circuit Judge BUCKLEY.

Dissenting opinion filed by Circuit Judge SILBERMAN.

BUCKLEY, Circuit Judge:

Appellants challenge a ruling by the Comptroller of the Currency that would permit any national bank, or its branch, located in a community of not more than five thousand inhabitants tó sell insurance to customers outside that community. The Comptroller based his ruling on section 92 of the National Bank Act. As we find sua sponte that that section has been repealed, and as the Comptroller cites no alternative authority for his ruling, we reverse.
