O F DALLAS

Dallas, Texas, May 12, 1955

AMENDMENTS TO REGULATION D AND REGULATION Q
of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System

To the Member Banks of the
Eleventh Federal Reserve District:

Enclosed are amendments to Section 1(e) of Regulation D and Section
1 (e) of Regulation Q, effective May 16, 1955.
The purpose of the amendments is to permit deposits to be classified as
“savings deposits,” in certain circumstances and subject to certain limita­
tions, although the deposit is not evidenced by a pass book. However, a pass
book continues to be necessary for all savings deposits that do not comply
with the amendments.
Member banks are requested to file the amendments in the ring binder
containing the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System and the bulletins of this bank.
Yours very truly,

Watrous H. Irons
President
