FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
WASHINGTON
ADDRESS OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE TO
T H E FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

X-6576

April 19, 1930.

Dear SirMoney market" and related developments since the
last meeting of the Open Market Policy Conference March
24-25 have teen such as to lead to some thought here, as
elsewhere, that the relation of the Federal Reserve System
to current trends should be reviewed with a view of determining whether the System's position should he readjusted;and, more particularly, whether the System portfolio of
Governments should be maintained at ltd existing level.
With these considerations in mind, I am waiting
to ask whether you think a meeting in the near future is
desirable, and whether i t would be convenient for you to
attend, if the meeting were called for Monday, May 5th.
It i s realized that not a l l meiribers of the Conference
may find i t convenient to attend, especially those living
at a distance;. and the fact that two meetings of the Conference have already been held this year is not overlooked
by the Board.
A writteh statement df views would be appreciated by the Board ftfom any bank not participating in
the meeting of the Conference, should i t be called.
Very truly yours,

B, A. Young,
Governor.
