Dear Sir:
Under date of October 31, 1934, the Federal Reserve Board addressed
a letter to you (X-9004) with regard to the continuance of the operation
of the Agency of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta at Havana, Cuba.
In that letter it was stated that the Board indorsed the suggestion of
the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta that the Agency be hereafter operated
by that bank for the account of the twelve Federal reserve banks and
that the Board had under consideration the necessary details for that
purpose.

Subsequently you advised the Federal Reserve Board that your

board of directors had approved participation in the operation of the
Havana Agency as suggested in the Board's letter.
There has now been prepared a form of agreement between the Federal
Reserve Bank of Atlanta and the other Federal reserve banks, copies of
which are inclosed, which carries out the suggestion contained in the
Board's letter above referred to and agreed to by your board of di­
rectors.

The agreement in the form inclosed has been approved by the

Federal Reserve Board and its counsel and it will be appreciated if you
will have the same executed by your bank as soon as possible, after sub­
mitting it again to your board of directors if you feel that such resub­
mission is necessary.



Please execute the agreement in triplicate, sending one of the
executed agreements to the Federal Reserve Board for its records and
the other two to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, which will executeone of them and return it to you.
Effective as of the date upon which the operation of the Agency
at Havana, Cuba, may commence under the terms of the agreement herein­
before mentioned, the Federal Reserve Board hereby gives its consent
and approval for any Federal reserve bank to carry on and conduct
through such Havana Agency any transaction authorized under the terms of
the resolutions of the Federal Reserve Board adopted January 27, 1927,
and January 3, 1929, relating to the scope of the functions of the
Havana Agency, copies of which are also inclosed for your information.
It is understood that the operation of the Agency at Havana, Cuba,
under the terms of the agreement before mentioned will commence with
the opening of business on the first day of the month following the
month in which the agreement has been executed by all of the Federal
reserve banks.
The Federal Reserve Board expressly reserves the right to revoke
at any time its approval of the continuance of the agency at Havana, Cuba,
under the terms of the agreement hereinbefore mentioned, and to require
the discontinuance of such agency.
Very truly yours,

Inclosures

Chester Morrill,
Secretary.
