"Against all demand deposits and time deposits
received by the Corporation in the United States a

provided that in no event shall such reserve be less
than 10 per cent of the aggregate runount of all demand deposits and time deposita received in the United

deposits received in the United States in the percentages required to be maintained by member banks located in central reserve cities. Tho Board is taking appropriato steps to require
