RATE CEILINGS--REGULATIOW Q

To All Member Banks and Others Concerned
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District:

On June 1, 1973? the Board of Governors announced the
following concerning Regulation Q.
"The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System today called on member banks to observe
existing rate ceilings established by Regulation
Q, pursuant to Public Law 89-597? nonwithstanding
a temporary hiatus in that authority.
The flexible rate-ceiling procedures established
by that statute lapsed today although legislation
to extend the authority has passed both Houses
of Congress. Differences between the House and
Senate versions of this legislation are being
worked out in a conference between the House and
Senate, but the conferees have already agreed
to an extension of the flexible rate-ceiling
authority to December 31? 197^. Differences in
the two versions of the legislation unrelated
to basic Regulation Q, provisions, however, will
require more time to resolve. Until the legisĀ­
lation is finally enacted, the Board urges
member banks to observe the present provisions
of Regulation Q, established under the law that
Congress clearly intends to continue in force."
Yours very truly,
P. E. Coldwell,
President
