REDUCTION IN POSTAL INSURANCE FEES

To Qualified Issuing Agents of
War Savings Bonds, Series E :
Under the provisions of the Revenue Act of 1943, the fees on domestic
insured mail treated as registered mail were increased, and since March 26,
1944, issuing agents have been paying a fee of 30 cents when forwarding to
the Federal Reserve Bank or branch registration stubs, War Savings stamps,
spoiled bonds, or unissued stock, in support of their sales reports.
We are in receipt of advice that, on and after November 1, 1944, the insur­
ance fee applicable to insured mail treated as registered mail was reduced from
30 cents to 15 cents by an amendment to the Revenue Act o f 1943.
Issuing agents, except Army finance officers, are reimbursed by this bank
or one of its branches for postage and insurance fees paid in shipping stubs,
spoiled bonds, or unissued stock, provided all shipments are forwarded in accord­
ance with the procedure outlined in our circular letter of August 23> 1943. The
request for reimbursement should be made on Form FA 103 at the close of
each month.
Yours very truly,
R. R. GILBERT
President
