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. Irons
President

Enclosure
