Opinion for the court PER CURIAM.
This court is in agreement with the result reached by the District Court, generally for the reasons stated in its Memorandum Opinion. See Securities Industry Ass'n v. Comptroller of the Currency, 577 F.Supp. 252 (D.D.C.1983). We note also that the District Court's Glass-Steagall Act analysis receives substantial support from a Supreme Court opinion issued while these cases were pending on appeal. See Securities Industry Ass'n v. Board of Gov. of FRS, --- U.S. ----, 104 S.Ct. 3003, 82 L.Ed.2d 158 (1984).
Affirmed.

The District Court found that SIA had standing to challenge the Comptroller's ruling that discount brokerage offices operated by national banks are not subject to the locational restrictions of the McFadden Act and the National Banking Act because "attempts to exceed those curbs would harm SIA's members...." Securities Industry Ass'n v. Comptroller of the Currency, 577 F.Supp. 252, 258-59 (D.D.C.1983). This conflates the constitutional requirement of injury in fact and the separate requirement that "Congress [have] intended to place the plaintiffs within the zone of interests protected or regulated by the statute."
