It was during part of the time that he chairmaned the Export-Import Bank that 14 per- cent of the Bank's capital was loaned to the International Tele- phone and Telegraph Company, a firm in which Victor Emmanuel’s bankine affuiate was interested. Later, Warren Lee Pierson, Presi- dent of the Export-Import Bank, resigned to become President of an International Tel. and Tel. sub- sidiary.
