B O A R D OF G O V E R N O R S

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
WASHINGTON

R-921
A D D R E S S OFFICIAL C O R R E S P O N D E N C E
TO THE BOARD

November 27, 1941

Dear Sir:
In addition to communications from the Federal Reserve
Banks specifically requesting rulings, interpretations, or other
action with respect to Regulation W, the Board also receives letters from the Reserve Banks enclosing communications received fay
them and presumably transmitted to the Board for its information
and not for action.
Some of the Federal Reserve Banks forward with such letters copies of their own replies and these replies make it apparent
that the original letters have been courteously and satisfactorily
answered and require no further action by the Board. We, of course,
are glad to have such information and particularly to know how the
Federal Reserve Banks are handling the questions raised. In some
cases, however, we are uncertain whether the Reserve Bank has r e plied to the inquiries and whether or not it is expected that we
take some action with respect to them. It will assist the Board
in handling such correspondence if the Reserve Banks will indicate
plainly whether they have replied and whether the correspondence
is transmitted simply for our information or for some other particular purpose.
At the same time, it appears best, in line with the policy of decentralization, that as many communications as possible
be given such answer by the Reserve Banks as makes no further correspondence by the Board necessary.
Very truly yours,

Chester Morrill,
Secretary.
TO THE PRESIDENTS OF ALL FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
