WOOD

ST. LOUIS
Re your letter January 2, 1936, regarding inquiry you have received from
Chief National Bank Examinor for your district relating to indebtedness
of a vice president of national bank.

Indebtedness which was incurred

prior to June 16, 1933, may be renewed or extended for periods expiring
not later than Juno 16, 1958, as provided in section 4 Board's Regulation
O.

Indebtedness which was incurred on May 25, 1935, does not fall within

scope of Board's Regulation 0 but is subject to penalties provided by
section 22(g) prior to Banking Act of 1955, and since a national bank is
involved it is suggested that jn replying to the inquiry of the Chief
National Bank Examiner for your district his attention be called particularly to this phase of the matter for such L"lction as he deems advisable.
Indebtedness which was incurred on October 12, 1955, falls within scope
of Board 1 s Regulation
active is immaterial.

o.

Fact that the vice president in question is in-

Question whether any proceedings should be insti-

tuted under section 50 of the Banking Act of 1953 on account of a violation of the provisions of section 22(g) as amended August 25, 1935, b,y
the Banking Act of 1935, involves the exercise of a reasonable discretion
in the particular case, but the Board believes that in any such case an
attempt should be made to obtain a correction of the violation as soon
as reasonably praeticable prior to the institution of any such proceedings.
