FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

June 5,1919 ..

X-1564

The Federal Reserve Board believes there is need for a better
understanding of the business of American corporations engaged principally in foreign banking business, and the conditions under which
such corporations must function, in order that the Board may get better
light on the subject of the extent to which it would be possible to
make uniform the agreements executed by such corporations with the
Board in order to make their stock eligible for investment by National
banks. Accordingly you are invited to have a representative of your
company present at a conference with the Federal Reserve Board, to be
held at ten a.m. Wednesdq • June 18th, in the Assembly Room of the
Federal Reserve BCE.rd on the Seventh Floor of the National Metropolitan
Bank Building, washington.
It will be the chief purpose of the conference to determine whether
or not it is necessary or desirable to make further modifications in the
e•isting agreements with foreign banking corporations, and the Board would
be glad to have your representative come prepared to give to the Board the
benefit of your views. '1'he Board is very desirous of imposing upon the
corporations only such conditions as will best enable them to conduct
their operations and develop their business along sound banking lihes.

Very truly you.rs;

Governor.
