At the meetings, the governors will ask Clarke and Greenspan to reassure the banking community that it will not be penalized for issuing loans to good credit risks. The governors also will seek help getting more capital invested in the region.

"They know where the capital resources are," said Gregg. Gregg said he hopes Greenspan and Clarke will respond to the governors' plea, particularly since the two recently told banking industry executives to continue lending to credit-worthy customers. Gregg said Clarke also has agreed to speak with New Hampshire bankers and business leaders in Nashua on June 1. "We have businesses in New Hampshire that cannot grow or create new job opportunities due to the restrictive lending climate brought on in part by federal regulatory policy," Gregg said. "This is a critical concern which we are hopeful Mr.

Greenspan and Mr. Clarke can help us address." "There are problem banks in New Hampshire and New England. We all know that," said Gregg. But he added that federal regulators' strict response to problem banks made healthy banks fearful of being penalized if they aggressively extended credit. "It's caused lending to dry up," Gregg said.

"There's a perception there from the comptroller that lending is bad." Gregg said the lack of credit DR. JAMES A.

Rudman, par- ASSOCIATED PRESS ONCORD Gov. Judd, Gregg and other New England governors will meet tomorrow with fed eral banking regulators in Washington to enlist their help in loosening tight lending by the region's banks. Gregg said he and Govs. John McKernan of Maine and Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts will meet separately with Robert Clarke, comptroller of the currency, and Alan Greenspan, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. Federal regulatory practices have contributed to New England's unhealthy economy by making banks fearful to lend to clients who previously were considered good risks, Gregg said.

Problems in other parts of the country, particularly the Southwest, prompted the regulators to clamp down on some banks, requiring them have more capital assets, which I meant fewer dollars for loans.
