ADDRESS

OFFICIAL C O R R E S P O N D E N C E
TO THE

May 4, 1940

Dear Sir:
Effective June 1, 1940, the Board of Governors
has approved an amendment to its Regulation F, relating
to the administration of trusts by national banks, to
permit the operation of Qommon Trust Funds composed
principally of mortgages. A copy of this amendment is
enclosed, together with a copy of a press release relating to the matter, from which it will be noted that
announcement of the Board's action will be made in the
morning papers of May 7, 1940.
As you know, this amendment resulted from a
proposal by representatives of the Pennsylvania Bankers
Association which has been under consideration by the
Board for some time, and the Board's action has been
taken in the light of comments and suggestions obtained
from all of the Federal Reserve Banks and from other interested persons.
The amended regulation is being reprinted and
a supply will be sent to you as far in advance of June 1
as possible.
Very truly yours,

Chester Morrill,
Secretary.
