1Opinion of the Court
LASKER, District Judge.
The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) moves for enforcement 1 of seven subpoenas duces tecum, which were issued to the respondent bank holding corporations (“banks”) in June, 1975. The banks resist enforced compliance, contending — sometimes by way of affirmative defense, other times, by counterclaim — that: (1) the FTC lacks the authority to issue the subpoenas, (2) whether or not authority exists, the subpoenas call for the production of irrelevant material, and (3) the subpoenas are unduly burdensome. 2 The motion is granted subject to the conditions set forth below.
