ADDRESS DF'F'ICIAL CORRESPONDENCE
TO THE BOARD

May 6, 1942

Dear Sir:
In connection with the exeeution of guarantees
under Regulation V, the question has arisen whether final
consurrunation of a loan which is to be guaranteed and which
is to be secured by assignments of contracts should be deferred until receipt by the assignee of accepted notices
of assignment or until notices of such assignment have been
delivered to the proper officers in accordance with Treasury Department Procurement Division Circular No. h47, of
December 3, 1940.
For your information, there is quoted below an
excerpt from a memorandum regarding this question which
has been received by the Board of Governors from the War
Department:
"Please be advised that where loans guaranteed under Regulation V are to be secured by assignment of contracts the funds may be released
in so far as the Vlar Department is concerned immediately upon execution of the assignment-by the
contractor even though that assignment is not perfected by proper filing until later. 11

L. P. Bethea.,
Assistant Sc;;cretary.
