The Federal Reserve Board of Governors and the Commerce Department

The computerized bulletin board initially will provide four weekly

electronically are: H3 -- Aggregate Reserves, H6 — Money Supply, H8 — Bank
Credit, and H15 -- Selected Interest Rates. The monthly releases available
are: G12.3 — Industrial Production and G3 -- Capacity Utilization.

additional usage at 10 cents per minute. The bulletin board also carries
major economic releases from the Commerce and Labor departments.
