on the 'June 30 call.
As you doubtless know, the Comptroller of the Currency has inaugurated a new policy with respect to the furnishing of "blank forms to national
banks for use in making condition reports, pursuant to which two sets of
forms were sent to each national bank on June 20, one for use on the June ]0
call for reports and the other for use on the next call.

The Comptroller.

advised national banks that, in order to facilitate the handling of subsequent calls, an effort will be made to forward blank forms to banks as soon
as possible after each call made in the future, so that banks may have a
complete set of forms available for use whenever a call is announced.

It

will be the Board's policy to furnish blank forms to Federal Reserve banks,
for the use of State bank members in submitting condition reports, well in
advance of the call for such reports insofar as practicable.

In line with

this policy, it is requested that, upon receipt of this letter, you mail to
each State bank member three copies of Form 105, two copies of Form lO^e,
and an appropriate number of copies of Forms 105b, 220, 220a and 220b, with
the request that the forms be held pending the receipt of a call for reports
thereon.
Please furnish the Board with a copy of the letter transmitting the
forms to State bank members, a copy of the letter calling for reports, and
a list of the State bank members on which the call is made.
In order to avoid errors in the publication of condition reports
in accordanco with Form lO^e, it is suggested that the State bank members
be advised that, when practicable to do so, they should examine and check
