Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sirs:
In your letter of August 4, X-9666, you enclosed a copy of a letter from the Board to the President
of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, expressing the
opinion that Federal Reserve banks may accept deposits
from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation consisting
of funds held by the Corporation in its capacity as receiver of closed, insured State banks.
In view of this conclusion, it is assumed
that Federal Reserve banks might likewise accept deposits
from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation consisting
of funds held by the Corporation in its capacity as receiver of closed National banks, if such deposits should
be tendered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.




We would appreciate your confirmation.
Yours very truly,
(Signed)

Wm. A. Day
President.
