BOSTON, M ASSACH USETTS.
April 4, 1933To all Member Banks
First Federal Reserve District:
The following telegram received from the Secretary of the Treasury is quoted
for your information:
''Member banks which have been granted Federal Licenses to reopen are not
permitted to take advantage of any State stabilization act providing for
limitation of withdrawals or otherwise to operate on restricted basis.
You are authorized and directed to advise any member bank which has been
granted a License to reopen, that unless it reopens to the full extent
permitted by such License, it will be necessary for me to revoke its
License. If it fails to reopen to the full extent permitted by its
License after being thus advised by you, you are authorized and directed
to revoke the License heretofore granted to it.
Regulation 30 (*) covers cases where conservators or other appropriate
officials have taken possession and control of ^ n k . "
(*) REGULATION 30 referred to is included in our Circular 16, under date of
March 28, 1933, Page 1, and is as follows:
"Banking institutions which are members of the Federal Reserve System and
of which actual possession and control have been taken (A) by Conservators
appointed pursuant to the act of March 9, 1933, or (B) by appropriate State
officials appointed pursuant to State law, as permitted by the President’
s
Executive Order of March 18, 1933, are permitted to transact such limited
banking functions as may be authorized in accordance with law by the
Comptroller of the Currency, in the case of National banks, or by the
appropriate State officials, in the case of State member banks: provided,
however, that no such banking institution shall reopen for the performance
of its usual and normal functions until it shall have received a license
from the Secretary of the Treasury. This regulation shall not authorize
any transaction with respect to the export or paying out of gold or gold
certificates, withdrawal of currency for hoarding or transactions in foreign
exchange prohibited or restricted by the Executive Order of March 10, 1933."

To All Banks
First Federal Reserve District:
Under authority conferred upon him by President’s proclamations of March 6
and 9, 1933, declaring and continuing bank holidays, the Secretary of the
Treasury has issued the following regulations;
"Any banking institution which is a member of the Federal Reserve
System and is not licensed to perform usual banking functions, but
which is duly authorized to engage in the business of acting as
trustee, executor, administrator, registrar of stocks and bonds,
transfer agent, guardian of estates, assignee, receiver, committee
of estates of lunatics, or in any other fiduciary capacity, may
transact such business in the normal and usual manner and may make
payments on account of the principal or income of trust or other
fiduciary funds to the persons entitled thereto; provided, that,
except to the extent permitted by other emergency banking regula
tions, no such banking institution shall withdraw or pay out any
trust or other fiduciary funds on deposit with any other depart
ment of such banking institution or make any other payment in con
nection with any trust or other fiduciary funds, which would operate
to discharge, as a whole or in part, any indebtedness, as distinguished
from any trust or other fiduciary duty, of such banking institution.
This regulation supercedes emergency banking regulation number 13, of
March 7, 1933, (Refer our Circular 2, March 7, 1933, Page 2, second
paragraph) which is hereby revoked." Regulation 31.
"Any State bank which is a member of the Federal Reserve System,
and is not licensed by the Secretary of the Treasury to perform
usual banking functions, may permit withdrawals of deposits
which are lawfully secured by collateral; provided, that such
withdrawals are (A) permissible under applicable law, (B) duly
authorized by the Board of Directors of such bank, upon such
terms with respect to the release of collateral as will fully
protect all depositors and other creditors against the creation
of any preferences, and (C) approved by the appropriate State
authority having supervision of such bank. Any such bank is
authorized to carry on such usual banking functions as may be
essential to allow the withdrawals permitted by this regulation,
subject to the provisions and restrictions above set forth and
except as otherwise prohibited." Regulation 32.

To All Banks
First Federal Reserve District!
The Secretary of Treasury has issued the following statements.
"In response to many inquiries as to the significance of the appointment of
conservators to hanks of high repute I wish to say that there is no deduction
to he made that such hanks are necessarily in difficulties. There are a lot
of complications, some of them concerning affiliate enterprises, which make
^it impractical for hanks to open to the full extent. It is for the purpose
of insuring that the banks will he put in apple-pie order, pending reorgani
zation or other necessary processes that conservators in many cases are named.
Moreover, this method makes it possible that the hank so circumstanced will
he able to continue to render service, as for example the receiving of
deposits to he segregated and kept in cash or invested in government bonds
and such like securities. It also enables the conservator to set aside and
make available for withdrawal by depositors and payment to other creditors
on a ratable basis such amounts as in his opinion it is safe to use for
this purpose."
"Passing upon applications of member hanks to reopen for normal banking
functions has taxed the personnel of the Treasury and of the office of the
Comptroller of the Currency. While every possible effort has been made to
act upon all applications, delay in some cases has been found to be inevi
table. In some cases, also, steps are being taken which as soon as com
pleted will make it possible for reopening to be licensed. I therefore
wish to direct especial attention to the statement of the President in his
radio address of last Sunday: 'Let me make it clear to you that if your bank
does not open the first day you are by no means justified in believing that
it will not open. A bank that opens on one of the subsequent days is in
exactly the same status as the bank that opens tomorrow.' Additional
licenses will be issued from time to time and the public should understand
that banks hereafter licensed to be opened for normal functions are to be
regarded in the same way as if it had been possible to issue the license
by today."

First Federal Reserve District:
We have been advised by the Secretary of the Treasury that under authority conferred
upon him by President's proclamations of March 6 and 9, 1933, declaring and
continuing bank holiday, Secretary of Treasury has issued following regulation:
"Pending the" determination by the Treasury Department of a suitable procedure
for licensing the delivery of gold for use in trade, profession or art, Federal
reserve banks are hereby authorized to deliver upon request therefor gold in
amounts deemed by such bank to be reasonably required for legitimate and
customary uses in trade, profession or art, provided such request is accompanied
by affidavit of the person requesting such gold stating the amount of unmanufac
tured gold on hand and the facts making it necessary to obtain such gold for the
purpose of maintaining employment."
"All banks licensed to open for usual and normal functions are permitted to carry
out any transaction necessary to complete the delivery of any gold authorized
by any Federal Reserve Bank to be delivered in accordance with such request."
Secretary has also issued public statement directing that requests for delivery of
gold for use in trade, profession or art be submitted to Federal Reserve Bank of
the district accompanied by affidavit referred to in regulation, and stating that
accurate records must be kept of disposition of all gold which may be released.
Secretary of Treasury has released following statement to the Press:
"Banking institutions which have not yet been permitted to reopen for normal
and usual functions are still permitted to continue to carry on the limited
activities specified by Regulations 1 to 19."
Under authority conferred upon him by President's proclamations of March 6 and 9, 1933,
declaring and continuing bank holiday. Secretary of Treasury has issued following
regulations 5
"All banking institutions may issue drafts transferring credits from any place
in the United States to any other place in the United States and from any place
in the United States to any place in a foreign country in connection with
payments for domestic and foreign patent, trademark and design application fees
and in payment for domestic and foreign patent and trademark taxes and renewals.
No gold or gold certificates shall be paid out, withdrawn, or exported under
this regulation."

Secretary of Treasury has issued the following Press statement:
"Regulation No. 10, (Refer our Circular 2 dated March 7, 1933, Page 1 last
paragraph) issued under the President's proclamation is interpreted to authorize
payments for nursery stock where such payments are absolutely necessary to
prevent destruction of stock in transit on March 6, 1933, or prepared for and
awaiting shipment on March 6, 1933 under bona fide commitments."
Designated interpretation 9,
Secretary Of Treasury has released following statement to Press:
"Proceeding under the new hank conservation act, the comptroller of the cur
rency has appointed conservators for the First National Bank of Detroit and
„the Guardian National Bank of Commerce of Detroit. This course will permit
the operation of the institutions for the purpose of receiving deposits to be
segregated and kept in cash or invested in obligations of the United States
or deposited with the Federal Reserve Bank, and permits the conservator to set
aside and make available for withdrawal by depositors and payment to other
creditors on a ratable basis such amounts as in the opinion of the comptroller
may safely be used for this purpose.
"The placing of these banks under conservators also gives time for the develop
ment of a satisfactory permanent plan for adequate banking facilities for Detroit.
A number of plans have been discussed and much work has been done, but up to
date there has not been a general agreement as to the course which will be most
advantageous for this city. The Government of the United Sates is anxious to
cooperate in the carrying out of such plan as soon as agreed upon."

To All Banks
First Federal Reserve District:
The Secretary of the Treasury has issued the following statement to the Press:
"The first duty of the banks reopening under license of the Secretary
of the Treasury for the performance of their usual functions is to
see that the primary needs of the people for funds for the necessar
ies of life and for normal business undertakings are met.
Accordingly withdrawals for hoarding have been prohibited and the
Secretary of the Treasury suggests that until more normal conditions
have been established transfers of funds by banks or their customers
be limited to necessary purposes."
Under authority conferred upon him by President's proclamations of March 6 and
9 and Executive Order of President of the United States dated March 10, 1933,
Secretary of the Treasury has issued following regulation governing all banking
institutions whether or not licensed to carry on usual and normal functions
by Secretary of Treasury or appropriate State authority:
"No banking institution shall permit any withdrawal by any person
when such institution, acting in good faith, shall deem that the with
drawal is intended for hoarding. Any banking institution, before
permitting the withdrawal of large or unusual amounts of currency, may
require from the person requesting such withdrawal a full statement
under oath of the purpose for which the currency is requested."
Under authority conferred upon him by President’s proclamations of March 6 and
9, 1933, declaring and continuing bank holiday, Secretary of Treasury has
issued following regulation:
"All banking institutions may cash official drafts drawn upon the Secre
tary of State for payment of salaries, traveling and other contingent
expenses but not for personal account, and remit the amounts thereof
to the banks from which the drafts are received, provided that no gold
or gold certificates shall be paid out."
We are advised by the Treasury Department that all banking institutions may
subscribe for the current issue of Treasury Certificates for their own account
in the usual manner. Application for these certificates may be made by sub
scribers other than banking institutions directly to Federal Reserve Banks or
branches, or at banks which are open for normal business.

Sir:
The

in the State of
is a member of the Federal Reserve System and hereby, in accordance with the
executive order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt dated March 10, 1933,
and the regulation of the Secretary of the Treasury and other provisions of
law, respectfully applies for a license to reopen and resume its banking
functions in full except as otherwise prohibited.
We have complied and will continue to comply with all executive
orders restricting the export or payment of gold, gold bullion or gold
certificates, transactions in foreign exchange, and the payment of currency
for hoarding.
In the opinion of the officers signing this application, the under
signed bank (trust company) is solvent.
According to the last report of examina
tion this institution, even if all actual market bond depreciation, all doubtful
paper, and all losses were charged off, would still have assets of sufficient
value to more than cover all liabilities other than its own stock liabilities,
and if permitted to reopen as requested hereby, will in the opinion of the
officers signing this application be able to continue as a going bank.
Yours respectfully,

The following telegram has been received from the Secretary of the Treasury:
"All openings of banks under Emergiency Banking Act postponed until Monday."
The Secretary of the Treasury has today sent following telegram to State
hanking authority in each State:
"All hanks of the country are now prohibited under the proclamation of
March 9 of the President from conducting any banking business, except as
"specifically authorized by rule, regulation or license of the Secretary
of the Treasury issued under that proclamation. In view of the passage
of the Emergency Bank Bill by Congress yesterday, and under the terms of
that Bill, and Section 5 of the Act of October 6, 1917, as amended by
that Bill, the Secretary of the Treasury will be authorized to permit
any sound bank which is a member of the Federal Reserve System, whether
State or national, to reopen for business as promptly as possible.
It is the intention of the Secretary of the Treasury, however, to
permit no member bank to reopen at any time on a full 100 percent
basis, unless or until the Secretary is satisfied that such bank is a
sound going institution. Any member bank not clearly within this category
will not be opened unless or until further investigation discloses that
it is a sound going institution, or unless or until a reorganization of
some character will permit the bank to be classified as a sound going
institution.
Any member bank not opened 100 percent under the procedure will be
permitted to continue to perform only such specific transactions as are
now authorized or may hereafter be authorized by specific regulation or
license of the Secretary of the Treasury.
In view of the fact that neither the Treasury nor the Federal Reserve
authorities have sufficient information upon which to consider applica
tions for reopening by euch State banks as are not members of the Federal
Reserve System, the President will by decree authorize the appropriate
State authorities in each State to give licenses to banks under their
jurisdiction other than members of the Federal Reserve System, to open
for the usual normal business, or in their judgment and under the terms of
the Presidential proclamation, to permit of such reopening under such
restrictions and limitations as they in their judgment may deem wise. It is
to be expected, however, that State superintendents in granting licenses
under this authority will take under consideration in determining their
own policy the general principle to be adopted by the Treasury as respects
member banks that in the interests of the depositors and of the country as
a whole only sound institutions will be permitted to carry on all of their
usual functions to the end that no bank shall be reopened for business on
any basis that will run the risk of being forced to close again because of
demands which it is not in a position to satisfy."

We are advised that the following Executive Order was signed by the President
of the United States this afternoon:
"By virtue of the authority vested in me by Section 5 (b) of the Act of
October 6, 1917 (40 Stat L, 411) as amended by the Act of March 9, 1933
and by Section 4 of the said Act of March 9, 1933, and by virtue of all other
authority vested in me, I hereby issue the following executive order."
"The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and empowered under such
regulations as he may prescribe to permit any member bank of the Federal
Reserve System and any other banking institution organized under the laws of
the United States, to perform any or all of their usual banking functions, except
as otherwise prohibited."
"The appropriate authority having immediate supervision of banking institutions
in each State or any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States is
authorized and empowered under such regulations as such authority may prescribe
to permit any banking institution in such State or place, other than banking
institutions covered by the foregoing paragraph, to perform any or all of their
usual banking functions, except as otherwise prohibited."
"All banks which are members of the Federal Reserve System, desiring to reopen
for the performance of all usual and normal banking functions except as otherwise
prohibited, shall apply for a license therefore to the Secretary of the Treasury.
Such application shall be filed immediately through the Federal reserve banks.
The Federal Reserve Bank shall then transmit such applications to the Secretary
of the Treasury. Licenses will be issued by the Federal Reserve Bank upon
approval of the Secretary of the Treasury. The Federal reserve banks are hereby
designated as agents of the Secretary of the Treasury for the receiving of applica
tions and the issuance of licenses in his behalf and upon his instructions."
"Until further order, no individual, partnership, association, or corporation,
including any banking institution, shall export or otherwise remove or permit to be
withdrawn from the United States or any place subject to the jurisdiction thereof
any gold coin, gold bullion, or gold certificates, except in accordance with
regulations prescribed by or under license issued by the Secretary of the Treasury."
"No permission to any banking institution to perform any banking functions shall
authorize such institution to pay out any gold coin, gold bullion or gold
certificates except as authorized by the Secretary of the Treasury, nor to allow
withdrawal of any currency for hoarding, nor to engage in any transaction in
foreign exchange except such as may be undertaken for legitimate and normal
business requirements, for reasonable traveling and other personal requirements,
and for the fulfillment of contracts entered into prior to March 6, 1933."
"Every Federal Reserve Bank is authorized and instructed to keep itself currently
informed as to transactions in foreign exchange entered into or consummated within
its district and shall report to the Secretary of the Treasury all transactions in
foreign exchange which are prohibited."

We have been advised by the Federal Reserve Board that under authority conferred
upon him by the President's proclamation declaring bank holiday, the Secretary of the
Treasury has issued the following regulations:
Secretary of Treasury advises "Regulation number 5 dated March 6 (Refer our
Circular 1, dated March 6, 1933, Page 1) is not to be interpreted as permitting
""any banking institution to accept payment of any obligation not solely owned
by it in any form which is not authorized by the person entitled to the pro
ceeds." Designated as Interpretation No. 4.
Secretary of Treasury advises "Regulation No. 10 (Refer our Circular 2, dated
March 7, 1933, Page 1, last paragraph) issued under the President's proclamation
is interpreted to authorize payments for fertilizer and for vegetable and
agricultural seeds for Spring planting, where such payments are absolutely
necessary and where the seed and/or fertilizer are for immediate use." Desig
nated as Interpretation No. 5.
Secretary of Treasury advises "Food or Feed Products as used in Regulation 6
(Refer our Circular 1, dated March 6, 1933, Page 1, last paragraph) may be
construed as including whole grain if such grain is intended for processing

The following telegram received from Secretary of the Treasury:
"In order to effectively carry out provisions of new law, holiday extended
over tomorrow stop
Proclamation later tonight."
Secretary of the Treasury has issued the following Press release: "The
President has today urged the immediate enactment of legislation dealing
with the existing hanking situation. It appears that prompt action will
make hanking facilities and an adequate supply of currency available.
Notwithstanding the expected early opening of hanks, the Secretary of
the Treasury interposes no objection to the issuance of Clearing House
certificates or other evidences of claims against assets of hanking
institutions, in communities where local conditions make such action
necessary. The Regulation issued by the Secretary March 7, 1933 (Refer
our Circular 2 dated March 7, 1933, Page 2, first paragraph) remains
effective, granting permission to Clearing House Associations and other
associations organized to provide an adequately secured medium of temporary
exchange to issue certificates against sound assets of banking institutions
such certificates to be deliverable by each institution to its creditors
and depositors on a pro rata basis."
Following is the text of the proclamation signed by the President of United
States tonight:
"Whereas, on March 6, 1933, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the
United States of America, by proclamation declared the existence of a national
emergency and proclaimed a bank holiday extending from Monday the 6th day
of March to Thursday the 9th day of March, 1933, both dates inclusive, in
order to prevent the export, hoarding or earmarking of gold or silver coin,
or bullion or currency, or speculation in foreign exchange: and
Whereas, under the act of March 9, 1933, all proclamations heretofore or
hereafter issued by the President pursuant to the authority conferred by
section 5 (b) of the act of October 6, 1917, as amended, are approved and
confirmed: and
Whereas, said national emergency still continues, and it is necessary to
take further measures extending beyond March 9, 1933, in order to accomplish
such purposes:
Now, therefore, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States
of America, in view of such continuing national emergency and by virtue of the
authority vested in me by section 5 (b) of the act of October 6, 1917
(40 Stat L Vll) as amended by the act of March 9, 1933, do hereby proclaim,
order, direct and declare that all the terms and provisions of said
proclamation of March 6, 1933, and the regulations and orders issued there
under are hereby continued in full force and effect until further proclamation
by the President."

to the President’s proclamation, dated March 6, 1933 declaring a bank holiday,
it is requested that all inquiries for information regarding and interpretation
of any of such regulations coming from banks, banking institutions and individuals

Information from the Treasury Department With Respect to Order of the Secretary of the
Treasury of December 28, 1933, Requiring the Delivery of Gold Coin, Gold Bullion, and
Gold Certificates to the Treasurer of the United States
To all Member Banks in the
Second Federal Reserve District:
Following is an extract from a telegram received today from the Treasury Department:
“ In order to facilitate immediate payment for gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates
delivered under the Secretary’s order of December 28,1933, the Federal Reserve Banks are author
ized to make payment for gold coin and gold certificates dollar for dollar and gold bullion at
$20.67 per fine ounce and charge the Treasurer’s account with the Federal Reserve Bank for such
amounts provided confirmation is sent each day by such Federal Reserve Bank to the Treasurer of
the United States that it holds the coin, bullion, and certificates so delivered and paid for in cus
tody for the Treasurer of the United States. Similarly member banks are authorized if they wish
to advance payment to the persons delivering coin, bullion, and certificates at the same rates and
the Federal Reserve Banks may credit such member banks such amounts and debit the account of
the Treasurer of the United States upon receipt of advice that the gold coin, gold bullion, and
gold certificates are held in custody for the United States and are forthwith being delivered to
the Federal Reserve Bank to be held in custody for the Treasurer of the United States. Gold
coin and bullion of doubtful value should be accepted and held in custody for account of the
United States and instructions requested of the Treasurer of the United States as to its disposition
and payment therefor. . . . ”
We have also been requested in a telegram received later today from the Treasury
Department to advise all member banks that:
“ United States gold coin which is obviously mutilated or below the weight of tolerance
allowed by law should be treated as bullion of uncertain value and confirmation should go direct
to the Treasurer with request for instructions. Member banks will not, however, be charged on
account of any loss for underweight coins on which they advance payment in good faith. . . . ”

EXECUTIVE ORDER
By virtue of the authority vested in me by Section 5 (b) of - the Act of October 6, 1917,
^ as amended by Section 2 of the Act of March 9, 1933, entitled “ An Act to provide relief in the
existing national emergency in banking, and for other purposes,” I, Franklin D. Roosevelt,
President of the United States of America, do declare that a period of national emergency exists,
and by virtue of said authority and of all other authority vested in me, do hereby issue the fol
lowing executive order:
The Secretary of the Treasury is hereby authorized to receive on consignment for sale,
subject to such rules and regulations and upon such conditions as he shall prescribe, gold recov
ered from natural deposits in the United States or any place subject to the jurisdiction thereof.
Sales may be made :
(a) To persons licensed to acquire gold for use in the arts, industries or professions, or
(b) By export to foreign purchasers.
Such sales shall be made at a price which the Secretary shall determine to be equal to the
best price obtainable in the free gold markets of the world after taking into consideration any
incidental expenses such as shipping costs and insurance.
Such sales may be made through the Federal Reserve Banks or such other agents as the
Secretary may from time to time designate and shall be subject to such charges as the Secretary
may from time to time in his judgment determine.
Every person depositing gold for sale as provided herein shall be deemed to have agreed
to accept as conclusive without any right of recourse or review, the determination of the Sec
retary or his duly authorized agent as to the amount due such person as a result of any sale.
Consignments shall be sold as nearly as may be in the order of their receipt.
The Secretary of the Treasury, in his discretion and subject to such regulations as he
may prescribe, is hereby authorized to issue licenses permitting the export of articles fabricated
from gold sold pursuant to this executive order.
This executive order may be modified or revoked at any time.

Licensed to Resume Banking Operations
To all Banking Institutions in the •
Second Federal Reserve District:
For your information we are sending you herewith a list, arranged alphabetically
by states and cities, of all member banks in the Second Federal Reserve District which
thus far have been licensed to resume full banking operations in accordance with
executive orders of the President of the United States and regulations of the Secre
tary of the Treasury. There also is included a list of all nonmember banking institu
tions in the district which have been licensed to reopen for full banking operations
under the same orders and regulations, so far as information with regard to them has
been received from the respective state banking departments.
The lists have been prepared in three sections:
(1) Member banks.
(2) Nonmember state banks and trust companies.
(3) Savings banks.
Banking institutions whose names are prefixed with the capital letter B are
located in the territory assigned to our Buffalo Branch, which comprises the ten
westerly counties of New York State as follows: Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua,
Erie, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Niagara, Orleans, and Wyoming.
Each state bank member in the list of member banks is designated by an asterisk.
These lists contain the names of all banks which, according to advices received
thus far, have been reopened for the performance of their normal and usual functions.
Banking institutions which have not yet been licensed to reopen still are per
mitted to continue to carry on the limited activities specified by regulations 1 to 19
of the Secretary of the Treasury, except that state banking institutions also may be
subject to restrictions imposed by state authorities.
For the present, weekly supplements to this circular will be published, contain
ing the names of additional banking institutions which hereafter are licensed to open
for normal business.
These lists do not take the place of the par list.

by affidavit of the person requesting such gold stating the amount of unmanufactured gold on
hand and the facts making it necessary to obtain such gold for the purpose of maintaining
employment. ’ ’

Section 2 of the Act of March 9, 1933, entitled “ An Act to provide relief in the existing
national emergency in banking, and for other purposes” , amended subdivision (b) of Section 5
of the Act of October 6, 1917 (40 Stat. L. 411), as amended, to read as follows:
“ (b) During time of war or during any other period of national emergency declared by the
President, the President may, through any agency that he may designate, or otherwise, investigate,
regulate, or prohibit, under such rules and regulations as he may prescribe, by means of licenses
or otherwise, any transactions in foreign exchange, transfers of credit between or payments by
banking institutions as defined by the President, and export, hoarding, melting, or earmarking of
gold or silver coin or bullion or currency, by any person within the United States or any place
subject to the jurisdiction thereof; and the President may require any person engaged in any
transaction referred to in this subdivision to furnish under oath, complete information relative
thereto, including the production of any books of account, contracts, letters or other papers, in
connection therewith in the custody or control of such person, either before or after such trans

license, order, rule or regulation issued thereunder, shall, upon conviction, be fined not more than
$10,000, or, if a natural person, may be imprisoned for not more than ten years, or both; and any
officer, director, or agent of any corporation who knowingly participates in such violation may be
punished by a like fine, imprisonment or both. As used in this subdivision the term ‘ person’
means an individual, partnership, association, or corporation.”
The Executive Order of the President, dated March 10, 1933, issued under the authority of
the foregoing act reads in part as follows:
“ Until further order, no individual, partnership, association, or corporation, including any

of the Treasury.
“ No permission to any banking institution to perform any banking functions shall authorize
such institution to pay out any gold coin, gold bullion or gold certificates except as authorized by
the Secretary of the Treasury, nor to allow withdrawal of any currency for hoarding, nor to engage
in any transaction in foreign exchange except such as may be undertaken for legitimate and nor
mal business requirements, for reasonable traveling and other personal requirements, and for the
fulfillment of contracts entered into prior to March 6, 1933.

except such transactions as may be undertaken
(a) for legitimate and normal business requirements,
(b) for reasonable traveling and other personal requirements, and
(c) for the fulfillment of contracts entered into prior to March 6, 1933.
In order that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York may keep itself currently informed

foreign exchange which are prohibited, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York hereby requires
dealers** in foreign exchange doing business in the Second Federal Reserve District
(1) to obtain from each person* to whom they sell foreign exchange directly or indirectly, a
written declaration signed by such person describing the purpose for which the foreign exchange
is purchased and certifying that the transaction in no way contravenes the Act of March 9, 1933,
the Executive Order of March 10, 1933, or any regulation issued thereunder,
and
(2) to file with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York written reports which will show the
foreign exchange position of such dealers at any given time. For the present such reports are
required only from dealers who carry their own accounts abroad and/or who carry accounts here
on their books for foreigners.
Forms on which reports may be made are enclosed. Those marked Form 200 and Form

Program for Reopening of Banks
To nil Banking Institutions in the
Second Federal Reserve District:
For your information, we quote below the text of a statement issued today by the Presi
dent of the United States:
‘ ‘ I am glad to be able to announce that technical difficulties which operated to delay the open
ing of banks, both state and national, have finally substantially been overcome by tireless work on
the part of the officials of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve System, and that a definite
program has been arranged consisting of successive steps by which banks throughout the country
will be opened progressively on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.
“ The Secretary of the Treasury will issue licenses to banks which are members of the Federal
Reserve System, whether national bank or state, located in each of the twelve Federal Reserve Bank
cities, to open Monday morning.
“ So also the state authorities having supervision over state banks which are not members of
the Federal Reserve System will be asked to permit any such state institutions located in any one
of the twelve Federal Reserve Bank cities to open for business on Monday morning if in their
judgment they deem it wise to do so.
“ Under this progressive plan, banks located in any city having an active, recognized clearing
house association, of which there are 250 cities, will receive licenses for reopening on Tuesday
morning, and banks located elsewhere will receive their licenses permitting reopening for Wednesday.
“ Time is thus afforded for the necessary shipments of currency provided under the Emer
gency Bank Act from Reserve Banks centers to clearing house cities and banks in the smaller
communities.
“ There were enormous technical problems to be solved before these mechanics could be
worked out and before the actual currency could be in the bank when the doors opened.
“ The Constitution has laid upon me the duty of conveying the condition of the country to
the Congress assembled at Washington. I believe I have a like duty to convey to the people them
selves a clear picture of the situation at Washington itself whenever there is danger of any con
fusion as to what the Government is undertaking.
“ That there may be a clear understanding as to just what has taken place during the last two
days since the passage of this Act it is my intention, over the national radio net works, at ten
o ’clock Sunday evening, to explain clearly and in simple language to all of you just what has
been achieved and the sound reasons which underlie this declaration to you.
“ The fact that banks will be opened under this plan does not mean that any one should draw
the inference that the banks opening Monday are in any different condition as to soundness from
the banks licensed to open on Tuesday or Wednesday or any subsequent day.”

Press Release Issued by Secretary o f Treasury

‘ ‘ The President has today urged the immediate enactment of legis
lation dealing with the existing banking situation. It appears that
prompt action will make banking facilities and an adequate supply of
currency available. Notwithstanding the expected early opening of
banks, the Secretary of the Treasury interposes no objection to the
issuance of clearing house certificates or other evidences of claims
against assets of banking institutions, in communities where local con
ditions made such action necessary. The regulation issued by the
Secretary March 7, 1933 remains effective, granting permission to
clearing house associations and other associations organized to provide
an adequately secured medium of temporary exchange to issue certi
ficates against sound assets of banking institutions, such certificates to
be deliverable by each institution to its creditors and depositors on
a prorata basis. ’ *

S e c t io n 3. Section 11 of the Federal Reserve Act is amended by adding at the end
thereof the following new subsection:
“ (n) Whenever in the judgment of the Secretary of the Treasury such action is neces
sary to protect the currency system of the .United States, the Secretary of the Treasury, in his
discretion, may require any or all individuals, partnerships, associations and corporations to pay

the Secretary of the Treasury made under this subsection shall be subject to a penalty equal
to twice the value of the gold or gold certificates in respect of which such failure occurred,
and such penalty may be collected by the Secretary of the Treasury by suit or otherwise.”
S e c t io n 4. In order to provide for the safer and more effective operation of the national
banking system and the Federal Reserve System, to preserve for the people the full benefits
of the: currency provided for by the Congress through the national banking system and the

resulting from the receipt on an unsound or unsafe basis of deposits subject to withdrawal by
check; during such emergency period as the President of the United States by proclamation
may prescribe, no member bank of the Federal Reserve System shall transact any banking
business except to such extent and subject to such regulations, limitations and restrictions
as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, with the approval of the President.
Any individual, partnership, corporation, or association, or any director, officer or employee
thereof, violating any of the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and, upon conviction thereof shall be fined not more than $10,000 or, if a natural person, may,
in addition to such fine, be imprisoned for a term not exceeding ten years. Each day that any
such violation continues shall be deemed a separate offense.
T IT L E II.
S e c t io n 201.
This title may be cited as the “ Bank Conservation Act.”
S e c t io n 3)2. As used in this title, the term “ bank” means (1) any national banking
association, and (2) any bank or trust company located in the District of Columbia and
operating under the supervision of the Comptroller of the Currency; and the term “ state”
means any state, territory, or possession of the United States, and the Canal Zone.
S e c t io n 203. Whenever he shall deem it necessary in order to conserve the assets of
any bank for the benefit of the depositors and other creditors thereof, the Comptroller of the
Currency may appoint a conservator for such bank and require of him such bond and security
as the Comptroller of the Currency deems proper. The conservator, under the'direction of
the Comptroller, shall take possession of the books, records, and assets of every description
of such bank, and take such action as may be necessary to conserve the assets of such bank
pending further disposition of its business as provided by law. Such conservator shall have
all the rights, powers, and privileges now possessed by or hereafter given receivers of insol
vent national banks and shall be subject to the obligations and penalties, not inconsistent
with the provisions of this title, to which receivers are now or may hereafter become subject.
During the time that such conservator remains in possession of such bank, the rights of all
parties with respect thereto shall, subject to the other provisions of this title, be the same as
if a receiver had been appointed therefor. All expenses of any such conservatorship shall be

paid out of the assets of such bank and shall be a lien thereon which shall be prior to any
other lien provided by this Act or otherwise. The conservator shall receive as salary an
amount no greater than that paid to employees of the Federal Government for similar
services.
S e c t io n 204. The Comptroller of the Currency shall cause to be made such examinations
of the affairs of such bank as shall be necessary to inform him as to the financial condition of
such bank, and the examiner shall make a report thereon to the Comptroller of the Currency
at the earliest practicable date.
•-7 '
.
S e c t io n 205. If the Comptroller of the Currency becomes satisfied that it may safely- be
done and that it would be in the public interest, he may, in his discretion, terminate the
conservatorship and permit such bank to resume the transaction of its business subject: to
such terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations as he may prescribe.
.1
Section 206. While such bank is in the hands of the conservator appointed by the
Comptroller of the Currency, the Comptroller may require the conservator to set aside and
make available for withdrawal by depositors and payment to other creditors, on a ratable
basis, such amounts as in the opinion of the Comptroller may safely be used for this purpose;
and the Comptroller may, in his discretion, permit the conservator to receive deposits, but
deposits received while the bank is in the hands of the conservator shall not be subject to
any limitation as to payment or withdrawal, and such deposits shall be segregated and- shall
not be used to liquidate any indebtedness of such bank existing at the time that a conservator
was appointed for it, or any subsequent indebtedness incurred for the purpose of liquidating
any indebtedness of such bank existing at the time such conservator was appointed. Such
deposits received while the bank is in the hands of the conservator shall be kept on hand in
cash, invested in the direct obligations of the United States or deposited with a Federal
Reserve Bank. The Federal Reserve Banks are hereby authorized to open and maintain sepa
rate deposit accounts for such purpose, or for the purpose of receiving deposits from state
officials in charge of state banks under similar circumstances.
S e c t io n 207. In any reorganization of any national banking association under a plan of
a kind which, under existing law, requires the consent, as the case may be, (a) of depositors
and other creditors or (b ) of stockholders or (c) of both depositors and other creditors and
stockholders, such reorganization shall become effective only (1) when the Comptroller of
the Currency shall be satisfied that the plan of reorganization is fair and equitable as to all
depositors, other creditors and stockholders and is in the public interest and shall have
approved the plan subject to such conditions, restrictions and limitations as he may prescribe
and (2) when, after reasonable notice of such reorganization, as the case may require,, (a)
depositors and other creditors of such bank representing at least 75% in amount of its total
deposits and other liabilities as shown by the books of the national banking association or
(b) stockholders owning at least two-thirds of its outstanding capital stock as shown by the
books of the national banking association or (c) both depositors and other creditors repre
senting at least 75 percent in amount of the total deposits and other liabilities and stock
holders owning at least two-thirds of its outstanding capital stock as shown by the books of
the national banking association, shall have consented in writing to the plan of reorganiza
tion ; provided, however, that claims of depositors or other creditors which will be satisfied
in full under the provisions of the plan of reorganization shall not be included among the
total deposits and other liabilities, of the national banking association in determining the 75
percent thereof as above provided. When such reorganization becomes effective, all books,
records, and assets of the national banking association shall be disposed of in accordance with
the provisions of the plan and the affairs of the national banking association shall be con
ducted by its board of directors in the manner provided by the plan and urjder the condi
tions, restrictions and limitations which may hjp,ve been prescribed by the Comptroller of the

national banking association, whether or not they shall have consented to such plan of reor
ganization, shall be fully and in all respects subject to and bound by its provisions, and claims
of all depositors and other creditors shall be treated as if they had consented to such plan of
reorganization.
S e c t io n 208. After fifteen days after the affairs of a bank shall have been turned back
to its board of directors by the conservator, either with or without a reorganization as pro
vided in Section 207 hereof, the provisions o f Section 206 of this title with respect to the
segregation of deposits received while it is in the hands of the conservator and with respect to
the use of such deposits to liquidate the indebtedness of such bank shall no longer be effec
tive ; provided, that before the conservator shall turn back the affairs of the bank to its board
of directors he shall cause to be published in a newspaper published in the city, town or
county in which such bank is located, and if no newspaper is published in such city, town or
county, in a newspaper to be selected by the Comptroller of the Currency published in the
state in which the bank is located, a notice in form approved by the Comptroller, stating the
date on which the affairs of the bank will be returned to its board of directors and that the
said provisions of Section 206 will not be effective after fifteen days after such date; and on
the date of the publication of such notice the conservator shall immediately send to every
„ person who is a depositor in such bank under Section 206 a copy of such notice by registered
mail addressed to the last known address of such person as shown by the records of the bank,
and the conservator shall send similar notice in like manner to every person making deposit
in such bank under Section 206 after the date of such newspaper publication and before the
time when the affairs of the bank are returned to its directors.
