An inquiry which may be stated as follows has been received under Regulation W:
"Section 8(d) refers to statements of necessity
as provided in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of section
8. However, paragraph (c) does not contain the words
'statement of necessity1. Is the 'written statement1
described in section 8(c) to be regarded as a 1 statement of necessity'? If the answer is in the affirmative, would it be desirable as a practical precaution
for any bank or other lender extending instalment loai
credit to take, in every case, the written statement
referred to in section 8(c)?"
The

S

written statement referred to in the last sentence

of section 8(c) is not a "statement of necessity" of the kind referred to in section 8(d).

Section 8(c) refers to statements of

necessity only to the extent that it incorporates ty reference
certain requirements of "section 8(a) or 8(b), including the provisos thereof". With respect to last part of inquiry, see W-35.
