ADDRESS

OFFICIAL C O R R E S P O N D E N C E
TO THE

BOARD

Dear Sir:
Replies have been received from all of the Federal reserve banks in response to letter X-9695 of September 12, 1956,
raising a question as to the desirability of continuing the
practice now followed by the Board of forwarding by mail confirmations of all telegrams sent to Federal reserve banks or
branches.
Inasmuch as none of the reserve banks offered any objection to the discontinuance of the practice referred to, and
since this course appears to be in the interests of economy
and efficiency, the Board hereafter will not forward confirmations of telegrams to Federal reserve banks and branches, except
in special cases when the circumstances warrant a departure from
the customary procedure.
Very truly yours,

L. P. Bethe.
Assistant Secretary.

TO ALL PRESIDENTS.
