Issuance of Gold Certificates by TreasuryDepartment to Federal Reserve Banks•

Dear Sir:
At the meeting of the Federal Reserve Board with governors

$100,000, $10,000, $1,000 and $100, to be issued to the Federal reserve
banks upon request in payment of the credits established on the books
of the Treasury Department pursuant to the provisions of the Gold Reserve Act of 1934, and that the department had expressed a willingness
to deliver the gold certificates to the banks as soon as they are available • Consideration was given at the meeting to the question as to
what, if any, action should be taken with regard to requesting the issuance to the Federal reserve banks by the Treasury Department of the
gold certificates, and it was understood that the question would be
considered by each Federal reserve bank and the Board advised of its
wishes in the matter•
