Subject:

Non-Par List.

Dear Sir:The Federal Reserve Board is considering the
issuance of a non-par list in order that the merchantsr
manufacturers and business n;en of the country rr•aY have
means of ready reference in determining whether or not
a check is collectible at ~ar through a Feder31 Reserve
Bank. This matter was discussed at the recen.t conference
of the Governors of Federal Reserve B:ml.rs, and you are
requested to have tran~~itted to the Board as early as
convenient, throuqh the pro~er official of your barik, a
list of all batiks of de0osit in your district, checks
u-pon which cannot be collected at par either direct or
through agencies.

This letter is being sent in identic fonn to
each Chairman and if no aclcnowledgment is made, it will
be taken as evidence that there are no non-par b::u:iks in
the district from which no reply is received.
Very truly yours,

Governor.
