Mr. Allan Sproul,
Assistant to the Governor,
Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
New York, New York.
Dear Mr. Sproul;
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has received your letter of September 20, 1935, and approves the action
of your directors in authorizing the officers of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York to open and maintain an account on the books of
the bank in the name of the Banco Central de la Republica Argentina
and to cariy out operations in this market for that bank along substantially the same general lines and subject to substantially the
same terms and conditions as for other central banks having accounts
with you.
It is assumed that the action of your directors contemplates
restricting the relations to be established with the Banco Central
de la Republica Argentina to the opening of a one way account, and
it will be appreciated if you will forward to the Board, for its
records, a copy of your letter to the Banco Central de la Republica
Argentina setting forth the terms and conditions upon which the account with that institution will be opened and maintained, together
with a copy of the bank's acceptance of such conditions.
Your letter states that, if the opening of the account is

approved, your bank will offer a participation in the account to
the other Federal Reserve banks.

The Board of Governors of the Fed-

eral Reserve System approves the participation in the account by
any of the Federal Reserve banks which may desire to do so, and
letters are being addressed today to the chairmen of the banks advising them to this effect.




Very truly yours,
(Signed)

L. P. Bethea
