SUBJECT~

Comment of Federal Reserve Board with reference to
pror:ositions agreed to at recent Governors' Conference.

Dear Sir:
The Federal Reserve Board has considered the
stenographic report and the Secretary's Minutes of the Conference of Federal Reserve Bank Governors which was held in
this city October lOth to 11th.
It appears from the recoris that no action was taken
by the Conference which,under the law and the printed regulations, require the approval of the Federal Reserve Board,
with the exception of 'l'opic l B. This topic appears as,
11 Interpretation of 'Borrower' Section 13 Federal Reserve Act
limiting amount which Federal T-:.eserve Banks may rediscount
for any one bank 11 •
It was voted that the Federal Reserve
Board should be requested to withhold any form.al ruling on
this subject until the counsel of the several Federal Reserve
Banks rray have the opportunity to study the question and submit their views to the Federal Reserve Board. To this request
the Board accedes, All other action recorded had reference
exclusively to m.atters of procedure and routine operation and
the Board desires herewith to advise the Federal Reserve Banks
that it interposes no objection to their putting into execution those changes in existing practice wh.i.ch are contemplated
by the various agreements reached at the Governors' Conference.
Very truly yours,
Federal Reserve Board
rym. W. Roxton,
Secretary.
