OPINION

This ease arises out of the failure of the Sharpstown State Bank of Houston, Texas. Plaintiff-Appellant Credit Union is a purchaser of brokered certificates of deposit of the bank. We have previously set out the facts surrounding this transaction. See Safeway Portland Employees’ Federal Credit Union v. C. H. Wagner & Co., 501 F.2d 1120 (9th Cir., 1974).

In its complaint in this ease the Credit Union principally alleges that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. § 77q(a), by aiding, abetting, and participating in a scheme to defraud the public in connection with the sale of the certificates. It prays for money damages. The Credit Union asserts that the FDIC is subject to suit under its “sue and be sued” authority and asserts jurisdiction under Section 22(a) of the Securities Act of 1933. The district court dismissed the complaint for lack of jurisdiction, finding that the Federal Tort-Claims Act (FTCA), 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346 (b), 2671-2680, is the exclusive remedy against the FDIC and that the Credit Union had failed to exhaust its administrative remedies as required by that Act. We affirm.

28 U.S.C. § 1346 (b) vests the district courts with exclusive jurisdiction over civil actions for money damages against the United States “for injury . . . caused by the negligent or wrongful act or omission of any employee of the Government . . . .” 28 U.S.C. § 2679 states:

The FDIC is clearly a federal agency and within the coverage of the FTCA. Davis v. FDIC, 369 F.Supp. 277, 279 (D.Colo., 1974); Freeling v. FDIC, 221 F.Supp. 955, 956 (W.D.Okl., 1962), aff’d per curiam, 326 F.2d 971 (10th Cir., 1963). Cf. FDIC v. Glickman, 450 F.2d 416, 418 (9th Cir., 1971). The FTCA should therefore be the exclusive remedy for tort claims against it. The Credit Union, however, points to 28 U.S.C. § 2680 (h) which provides that the FTCA “shall not apply” to certain intentional torts including misrepresentation and deceit. It then argues that these torts are not “cognizable” within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 2679 (a) and that therefore, on the claims urged here, the “sue or be sued” authority of the FDIC is not altered by the FTCA. Essentially the same argument was made and rejected in Edelman v. Federal Housing Authority:

382 F.2d 594 , 597 (2d Cir., 1967).

The legislative history is in accord with this “common sense” approach:

S.Rep. 1400, 79th Cong., 2d Sess., at 33 (emphasis added). The purpose in making the FTCA an exclusive remedy was to permit suit against the United States on certain claims and to prevent suit on those claims, such as misrepre sentation and deceit, which were excluded. See, Edelman v. FHA, supra; Goddard v. District of Columbia Redevelopment Agency, 287 F.2d 343 (D.C. Cir.), cert. denied 366 U.S. 910 (1961); Mullins v. First Nat’l Exch. Bank of Va., 275 F.Supp. 712 (W.D.Va.1967); Freeling v. FDIC, supra; Jayson, Handling Federal Tort Claims, § 175.02 n. 6 (1974). The “sue or be sued” clause cannot therefore support jurisdiction of a money damages claim against the FDIC when, as here, the alleged act is in the nature of deceit.

The Credit Union further contends that the Securities Act of 1933 itself constitutes a waiver of sovereign immunity and supports jurisdiction. It points out that the anti-fraud section, 15 U.S.C. § 77q, applies to “any person” and that the Act defines “person” to include “a government or political subdivision thereof.” 15 U.S.C. § 77b(2). The Securities Act makes no reference to a specific waiver of immunity by the sovereign United States and we have been cited to nothing in the legislative history which would indicate such a purpose. Express statutory consent to suit is essential and will not be implied from statutes that omit all reference to the sovereign. Danning v. United States, 259 F.2d 305, 309 (9th Cir., 1958), cert. denied 359 U.S. 911 (1959). Moreover, statutes which are claimed to be waivers of sovereign immunity are to be strictly construed against such surrender. Bat Rentals, Inc. v. United States, 479 F.2d 43, 45 (9th Cir., 1973). See United States v. Sherwood, 312 U.S. 584, 590 (1941). Mere mention of “a government” in the definitional section of the Securities Act does not suffice as consent to suit.

This result is complemented by our reading of the FTCA. The Securities Act cannot be considered alone but must be fit “into the entire statutory system of remedies against the Government to make a workable, consistent and equitable whole.” Johansen v. United States, 343 U.S. 427, 432 , 72 S.Ct. 849, 853 , 96 L.Ed. 1051 (1952); Feres v. United States, 340 U.S. 135, 139 , 71 S.Ct. 153 , 95 L.Ed. 152 (1950). Tort claims against the United States are governed by the FTCA and comprehensively treated therein. That Act specifically excludes claims based on deceit and misrepresentation. When Congress speaks clearly to bar the road to recovery, Appellants cannot enter through the back door by relying on the broad and ambiguous language of another act.

Judgment affirmed.

The Credit Union has not xiresented its claim to the FDIC.
