AIRPORT CONSOLIDATION SERVICE
FOR DIRECT-SENT CHECKS

To A l l Member B a n k s in the S eco n d F ederal R e s e r v e District:

The Federal Reserve System is beginning a new program designed to
benefit member banks located outside cities having a Federal Reserve office
that are authorized to direct send checks outside their local Federal Reserve
territory. This new program, called the Airport Consolidation Program, will
allow eligible member banks to consolidate their direct sendings at certain
designated airports. The choice of airport will be based on the member bank's
geographic location with respect to the Federal Reserve’s air-charter network.
For a member bank to be eligible to use this new service, it must be
situated outside a Federal Reserve city, be approved for direct sending, and
be willing to pay the costs associated with transporting checks to the designated
airport, including consolidation cost. The Federal Reserve will assume respon­
sibility for the transportation and delivery of the checks from the designated
airport to Federal Reserve offices served by its air-charter network.
Banks interested in the Airport Consolidation Program may obtain
detailed information and application forms by contacting, at the Head Office
of this Bank, Mr. John F. Sobala (212-791-5321) or Mr. Ronald E. Hudson
(212-791-5324), or, at our Buffalo Branch, Mr. Robert McDonnell (716-849-5022)
or Mr. David Schwarzmueller (716-849-5051).




P aul A. V olcker,

President.
