CONSUMER CREDIT
SUSPENSION OF REGULATION W

To the Registrant Addressed and Others Concerned:

There is quoted below the text of a statement issued by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in connection
with the suspension of Regulation W, effective May 7,1952:
“ Effective immediately the Board of Governors has
suspended Regulation W relating to consumer instalment
credit.
“ This action was taken after careful review of develop­
ments in the economy generally and in the markets directly
affected by the regulation. The Board has recommended to
the Congress that authority for the regulation of consumer
credit be continued after June BO so that it could be rein­
stated should subsequent developments necessitate such
action.”
The cooperation which this bank has received from Registrants
in connection with its administration of Regulation W is greatly
appreciated.
Yours very truly,
R. R. GILBERT
President
