F ederal r e s e r v e Bank OF DALLAS Dallas, Texas, June 6, 1961 To the Member Banks in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District: On May 25, 1960, we sent you a description of a coding system for demand deposit accounts which might be used to compile information for official reports, such as the Report of Condition, by banks utilizing electronic accounting and data-processing equipment. In the interim period, a Federal Reserve committee has developed a proposed classification of savings and other time deposits for possible use by such banks. A copy of the proposed classification is enclosed. We are sending this material to the member banks in the Eleventh Dis trict with the thought that it will be helpful for those using automated accounting or planning to do so. The classification is not sent as a request for additional data from member banks but merely as a guide for auto mating banks. If you have any questions about this classification, please contact Mr. Zenas B. Smith of our Research Department, who will help you in any way he can. Yours very truly, Watrous H.
