SUBJ::CT:

11 ,. 1926.

?Totes of Par-ent Corporations Re~:>resentirig
Jorrowings to be Advanced to Subsidiaries.

Dsar Sir:
Acting pursuant to the request of the recent Governors Co:aference the Board has voted to place unon the program
for the next Conference of Governors for their consideration,
certain 0"Ue£tions wn:'-c':1 have arisen with regard to the :Board's
rulin5 U~Jon the eligibility for rediscount of no·tes of a corporation represe:1ting borrowings of funds to be advanced to
s~bsidiaries, which wa~ c:>ntained in tho Board's circular letter of Decornber 30, 1925, X-4484. These questions were raised
in a letter from the Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Cleveland ar.d comr~ented on in a memoratidwa from the Eoard 1 s
Cou;.1.sel, copies of w:llich were transmitted to e11 Governors
with the Board's letter X-4560 of March lG, 1920.
?ending a reconsideration of these questions by
the next Governors Conference and for the ~iaanc~ of Federal
reserve banks in the mea.nt::.me, the Board hol.-is that notes of
a parent corporation representing borrowings of funds to be
advanced to subsidiaries will not be eligible for rediscount
at a Federal rescrv~ b~rk unless thoy com)ly with all of the
conditions laid down in the :Board's circular letter o-:: December 30, 1925. Accordingly, t~e notos of a parent coryoration
the proceeds of which huve been :advw1ced or loaned to its subsidiaries, will not be elie;ible pfor rediscount, if the parent
corporation also makes advancesfto other corporations than
its own subsidiaries.
