SUBJECT: Report of Standing Committee
on Collections.

Dear Sir:
According to the minutes of the Conference of Presidents, held
in Washington on Februaiy 28 - March 1, 1938, the Conference accepted
the report of the Standing Committoe on Collections, dated December 17,
1937, and approved the recommendations contained therein, some of which
involved changes in the cash and noncash collection circulars of the
Federal Reserve banks.
Since the Presidents1 Conference referred certain additional
questions regarding the collection services of the Federal Reserve
banks to the Standing Committee on Collections, we conferred with the
Chairman and another member of that Committee and were advised that
the Committee anticipates submitting recommendations to the next Presidents' Conference which, if approved, will necessitate additional
changes in the cash and noncash collection circulars of the Federal
Reserve banks. We were also advised that changes recommended in the
December 17, 1937, report were considered not to be of such immediate
importance as to warrant reissuing the circulars until after the next
Presidents' Conference has acted upon the recommendations to be contained in the forthcoming report of the Standing Committee on Collections.
Accordingly, the Board has deferred action until after the
next Presidents' Conference on the recommendations contained in the
December 17, 1937, report of the Standing Committee on Collections,
except as to the recommendation that no shipping charges be absorbed
hy the Federal Reserve banks in handling negotiable securities received and forwarded for collection, which is noted without objection.
Veiy truly yours,

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