BOARD OF GOVERNORS
OF

THE

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
WASHINGTON

April 16, 1S48

}ty dear Mr# President t
In your letter of January 27, four days
prior to bhe expiration of my term as Chairman of
the Board of Governors, you requested me to remain
as a member of the Board and to accept the Vice
Chairmanship. In my reply of the same day, I stated
that after careful consideration of your request I
had decided to remain Y/ith the Board in the capacity
which you suggested*
Two and one-half months have elapsed since
that time. The formal order designating the Chairman
of the Board has been issued, but none designating a
Vice Chairman. In view of the circumstances, I shall
continue to serve as a member of the Board of Governors,
but I wish to withdraw my name in case you are still
considering designating me as Vice Chairman.
Respectfully yours

The President
The Kttiite House
