SUBJECT: Special Rerorts Leased Wire Operations.
)

Dear Sir:
For some time, it has teen felt that the Main Line
leased wire facilities of the Federal Reserve Syst~ have
been .inadequate for a prompt handling of the business carried
over them. .H the suggestion of the Federal Reserve "Board, the
Federal Reserve Leased Wire Cornmi ttee, in conjunction with the
.American Telephone and Telegrarh Comrany, has undertaken a
comprehensive study of the operations of the leased wire system
for the :purpose of determining, what additional fPcili ties are
needed and What ChAnf_es,. if any 1 Should be rrade in the present
arrangement of the wires in order to provide the most satisfactory and economical service.
The Corr.mittee advises that it will be necessary for
it to ol·tain the following. information from each Federal Reserve Bank and from the Federal Reserve Board: ( 1) The volume
and class of tusiness transmitted daily to eech other point on
the main line system; (2) The volume of each cla-ss of business
dispatched hourly.
Two forms have reen :rrovided cy the Cornrrittee on
which each Feders 1 Reserve Bank is requested to sul:mi t the information desired at this time. The forms are self-explanatory
and should be forwartled to reach the Board as promptly as possicle after the end of ~he period covered.

.

Very truly yours,

Governor.
