ADDRESS OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE TO
THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

June 29, 1927.

SUBJECT:

Redemption by Veterans Bureau of Renewal Noted
Secured by Adjusted Service Certificates.

Dear Sir;
One of the Federal reserve banks recently requested
the Federal Reserve Board to obtain from the TJ. S. Veterans
Bureau a rulihg on the question Whether the note of a veteran,
secured by an adjusted sefvice certificate, if renewed by the
bank riiaking the loan, will be redeemed by the Veterans Bureau
in caSe the note is not paid.
The Veterans Bureau has advised the Board as
follows:




"You are informed that renewals will be considered by the Bureau as new loans and new notes
will be redeemed not less than six months from the
date of such notes.
"In order to relieve any anxiety which the banks
may have concerning the Bureau's policy for redeeming
loans, you are informed that although the Regulation
states that redemption may be refused under the discretion authorized by law, the Bureau will not exercise
this discretion except under very extraordinary circumstances and will redeem notes and certificates properly
presented at any time they may be forwarded after the
necessary six months, required by law, have expired."
Very truly yours,

Walter L. Eddy,
Secretary.

TO GOVERNORS OF JELL F.R.BANKS.
