Circular No. 73-70
March 29, 1973

To the Bank Addressed:

The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas is in the process of modifying
the check processing procedures currently being utilized in our Checks
Department and Regional Check Processing Center.
These modifications involve the utilization of third generation
IBM System 370 computers, IBM lUl9 Reader Sorters, and advanced check processĀ­
ing programing recently developed within the Federal Reserve System.
In order to satisfy our complete testing requirements, it will be
necessary to utilize representative MICR encoder documents typical of the
check processing function within the Eleventh Federal Reserve District.
It is therefore requested, that your bank supply the Federal Reserve
Bank of Dallas with a sample of approximately 100 of your bank's checks.
These checks will be utilized strictly as test documents and will remain
within the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
Your cooperation in this matter will be appreciated.
