OFFICIAL C O R R E S P O N D E N C E
TO T H E BOARD

Dear Sir:
From time to time matters have arisen at the Federal reserve banks, the effective disposition of which made it advisable
that they be taken up with a department or agency of the Government.

It has been the experience of the Board that more satisfactory results, from the standpoint of the System as a whole, have
been obtained in such cases when the matter was first brought to
the attention of the Board ty the Federal reserve bank and in turn
taken up by the Board, either separately or in conjunction with the
Federal reserve bank, with the department or agency involved. Accordingly, it is suggested that when such a question arises in the
future your bank communicate with the Board by letter or telegram
advising in such detail as the circumstances may require regarding
the matter and, if possible, the disposition which your bank would
prefer to have made of it.
This suggestion, of course, does not apply to routine matters which relate to the performance of work by a Federal reserve
bank as fiscal agent, custodian or depositary for a particular department or agency of the Government, but rather to other questions
which the Federal reserve bank feels should be taken up with a Government department or agency or to questions which involve System
policy or procedure. Also, it is not intended to change in any way
the procedure with respect to foreign relationships of Federal reserve banks as set forth in the statement inclosed with the Board's
letter of October 30, 1956.
Very truly yours,

Chester Morrill,
Secretary.

TO THE PRESIDENTS OF ALL FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS.
