(2) Section 18(g) of such Act is further amended by inserting after the fifth sentence the following: "The provisions of this subsection and of regulations issued thereunder shall also apply, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, to obligations other than deposits that are undertaken by insured nonmember banks or their affiliates for the purpose of obtaining funds to be used in the banking business.
