Bear Maes
la accordance with my conversation with you
yesterday, I mm goiag &head to use in our s&oatkiy bulletin
substantiali? the s&ae explanatory text that i sent over
to the Ihite Bonne for the President as a suiaaary of the
aeaning of the Agreement reached by the b&nJeiug supervisory agencies on exaain&tioa and investment policy affecting the banks. Of course, I am chaaglag it froa the
first person to the third person At&t&s&ent and aaking
ijuch other cliaages as vrould adapt it for use in the federal Reserve Bulletin, in which the Board each aonth
publishes reviews of the business situation ami musorous
statistics, together with documents of an official and
public nature relating to banking and business. It fits
in very appropriately as an introductory stateaent to
publication of the text of the agreement itself, which
seeds explanation to be understood properly.
Having seat it over to the White House, I
did not want to »ake use of it without a definite understanding, even though it was not used ty the President.
Sincerely yours,

Honorable 1. H» ilclatyre,
Secretary to the President,
The White House,
