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

X-7770
February 1, 1934.

SUBJECT:

Clayton Act Applications Submitted
in Groups.

Dear Sir:
In a few instances where a number of applications have
"been made pursuant to the Clayton Act, for permission to serve
the same "banks, the Federal reserve agent has submitted only one
report on F.R.B. Form 94b, covering all the applications in the
group. Although the replies to some of the questions on that
form would apply equally to all the applications involved in a
group of this kind, certain of the questions require individual
answers. For example, question 13 asks whether the applicant is
discharging his responsibilities by attending directors' meetings
or otherwise.
It is felt that such questions should be answered separately with respect to each applicant, particularly since it has
been found in one or two instances that a general answer which was
intended to apply to all the applicants was not accurate.

It is

suggested, therefore, that in cases where applications are submitted in a group, a separate F.R.B. Form 94b for each applicant

"be filled out.
There would appear to "be 110 objection, where applications are submitted in a group, to furnishing only one copy of
the statement of condition and answers to questions on F.R.B.
Form 94a for each of the banks involved, provided questions 13,
14 and 15 are answered separately as to each of the applicants.
Very truly yours,

Chester Morrill,
Secretary.

TO ALL FEDERAL RESERVE AGENTS.
