It is believed that action -will be completed shortly, making it possible to resume normal issuance of bonds. A short delay in issuance of bonds will not cause loss to purchasers or disruption of payroll savings plans because all bonds issued in July -will earn interest from July 1. Companies and others operating payroll savings plans should be requested to continue -withholding but to retain proceeds in special accounts; proceeds should not be remitted to Federal Reserve Bank’s or bonds issued until further notice. Applications may be accepted over the counter and on bond-a-month plans, but bonds may not be issued until further notice. FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF DALLAS Fiscal Agent of the United States
