FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD . WASHINGTON X-4691 ADDRESS OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE IIOARD October 12, 192£ SUBJECT: Conference· Topic - Federal Reserve Bank Representation at :Ba...'lkers 1 Conventions. Dear Sir: In a recent discussion of the benefits accruing as a result of representation of the Federal Reserve banks at ba11kers' conventions, question arose as to the necessity for a given Federal Reserve bank arranging to send more than one officer or employee to such a o:mvention, at the expense of the bank, and whether or not the practice of two or more officers attending bankers• conventions at the expense of a Federal Reserve ba1li~ and with the loss to the bank of their services for a period of several days, is entirely justified. With the thought tr~t it might be possible for the Governors and Chairmen of the Reserve banks to work out some uniform practice to be followed with respect to the extent to which Federal Reserve baiL~s should be represented at b~~ers' conventions, it was suggested that this matter be 1na~e the subject of discussion by the forthcoming conferences. Very truly yours; Edmund Platt, Vice-Gover:1or. TO ALL GOVERNORS .AND FEDERAL RESERVE AGENTS.
