ADDRESS OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE TO
THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD




X-7604
September 23, 1933

Dear Sir:
There is attached hereto, for your
information, a copy of a self-explanatory letter addressed by the Federal Reserve Board to
Mr. Case, Federal Reserve Agent at New York,
under date of September 21, 1933*
Very truly yours,

L. P. Bethea
Assistant Secretary
Inclosure

TO ALL FEDERAL RESERVE AGENTS EXCEPT NEW YORK.

COPY

X-7604-a
September 21, 1933.

Mr» J. H. Case, Federal Reserve Agent,
Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
New York, Mew York.
Dear Mr. Cases
Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of September 14,
1933, recommending that the Federal Reserve Board designate the
following employees in the Federal Reserve Agent's Department of
your bank as "Assistant Federal Reserve Examiners:"
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * *

As you know, each examiner in the employ of the Federal Reserve Board is designated as "Federal Reserve Examiner" or "Assistant
Federal Reserve Examiner" as the case may be.

The Board feels that,

in order to avoid any possible confusion on the part of member banks,
or others, the use of such titles should be confined to employees of
the Federal Reserve Board. While this aspect of the matter was not
brought out in the Board's letter of Juno 28, 1933, the desirability
of drawing a clear cut distinction between examiners in the employ
of the Federal Reserve Board and examiners in the employ of the
various Federal reserve banks has become increasingly apparent in
recent months due largely to the expansion and development of the
Board's examining staff.
In the circumstances, the Board approves the designation of
Messrs. *******, ******* and ***********, respectively, as "Assistant
Examiner" in the Federal Reserve Agent's Department of your bank.



Mr. J. II. Case

-2-

In this connection, it is suggested that you may wish to recall all
identification cards which have been issued to employees of the
Bank Examinations Department of your bank indicating that any employee has been designated as "Federal Reserve Examiner" or"Assistant
Federal Reserve Examiner" and to issue revised identification cards
shomng their designation as merely "Examiner" or "Assistant examiner"
in the employ of the Federal Reserve Bank of Hew York,
The Board m i l be pleased to have your advice as to the action taken in the premises.




Very truly yours,
(Signed) L. P. Bethea
L. P. Bethea,
Assistant Secretary.
