Circular No. 68-7
January 8 , 1968

To All Issuing Agents
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District:

The Treasury Department has reported a significant increase over
the past year in the stocks of unissued Series E savings bonds main­
tained by Federal Reserve Banks and issuing agents, and is soliciting
assistance in reducing these stocks. Ratios of stock to monthly issues
indicate that significant reductions can be made from present levels
without affecting the timely and orderly issuance of bonds.
All issuing agents are requested not to requisition additional
stock for any denomination as long as stock on hand exceeds a four-week
supply. No more than a one-month supply should be ordered when the
monthly issue rate is one or more cartons, and no more than a two-month
supply should be ordered when the monthly rate of issue is less than one
carton. Full cartons should be ordered only when the monthly or
bi­
monthly issue rate is one or more cartons.
Federal Reserve Banks have been requested to review all stock
requisitions for adherence to the requirements outlined above. It will
be necessary to reduce any requisition received that is not consistent
with this procedure.
Your cooperation in complying with this request is sincerely ap­
preciated.
