R-587
BOARD OF GOVERNORS
OF THE
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS

For immediate release

January 3, 1940

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
has amended section 3 of its Regulation L, relating to interlocking bank directorates under the Clayton Act, effective immediately, so as to permit any director, officer, or employee of
a bank which does not exercise trust powers to serve a trust company which does not accept deposits.
The amendment consists in striking out paragraph (c) of
section 3 of Regulation L and substituting the following:
- (c) Any director, officer, or employee of a member bank of the Federal Reserve System which does not
exercise trust powers may be at the same time a director, officer, or employee of not more than one trust
company which does not receive or hold deposits*; and
any director, officer, or employee of a trust company
which is a member of the Federal Reserve System and
which does not receive or hold deposits* may be at the
same time a director, officer, or employee of not more
than one bank, banking association, or savings bank
which does not exercise trust powers.

*For the purpose of this paragraph, the term "deposits" shall not include funds received and held in a
fiduciary capacity.
