Reserve Board, and. in view of the requirement of the ___________ statute
that a bank's report of condition made pursuant to call of the State

In order, however, that reports of condition of affiliates of State member banks hereafter rendered may be published, if
possible, as of the same date as those of the respective banks, it is
suggested that your office endeavor to arrange with the State authoritities to issue calls for reports of condition of State banks as of the
same dates as the calls made by the Federal Reserve Board.




Very truly yours,
