FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF DALLAS FISCAL AGENT OP THE UNITED STATES Dallas, Texas, May 10, 1944 FIFTH W A R LOAN DRIVE To Qualified Issuing Agents of W ar Savings Bonds, Series E : As has been announced, the Fifth War Loan Drive will start on June 12 and will run until July 8, 1944. The goal has been set at $16,000,000,000, of which $6,000,000,000 is to be raised directly from individuals. This will, of course, result in a substantial increase in the sale of United States War Savings Bonds of Series E. Sales of savings bonds of Series E, F, and G for which settlement is made at the Federal Reserve banks and branches or at the Treasury Department between June 1 and July 31, 1944, will be counted in the drive figures. In anticipation of the increased sales, it is suggested that issuing agents check their present stocks of bonds, estimate their needs in advance as far as practicable, and file requisitions for additional stock from time to time to insure an adequate supply of all denominations for a period of, say, two weeks. If requisitions are placed with this bank or appropriate branch in advance of the need, a great many telephone and telegraph requests for rush shipments will be avoided. As the bonds are received by us from the Treasury in lots of 250 pieces to the package, it will assist us in making shipment if requisitions for bonds are made in multiples of 250 where the need approximates or exceeds that figure. Supplies of application forms, dating stamps, and other material used in the sale and issuance of bonds should be reviewed and orders placed with this bank or branch for such additional supplies as may be needed during the course of the drive. Agents located in the territories served by our branches at El Paso, Houston, and San Antonio are reminded that those branches are authorized to issue United States Savings Bonds of Series F and G. In order to decentralize the work and expedite the handling of applications, agents served by our branches are urged to forward their appli cations for Series F and G bonds to the appropriate branch. At the request of the Treasury and in order that the State Chairmen of the War Finance Committees may be kept currently advised of sales of all War Savings Bonds in the various counties and parishes of the district, it will be appreciated if during the drive all issuing agents, other than those which issue bonds under the payroll allotment plan, will report sales on Form FA 82 to this bank or appropriate branch at least twice a week.
