SPECIAL HANDLING OF TAX PAYMENTS

To All Tax a n d Loan Depositaries
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District:

The Treasury Department has announced that the procedure with respect to the special handling of
payments of income taxes of $10,000 or more which is customarily in effect during periods of heavy tax
payments will be in effect for payments of corporation a n d individual income taxes due September 15. The
procedure will be applicable to the full amount of eligible checks representing taxes due September 15.
During the period September 15 through September 30, Directors of Internal Revenue will make
special deposits of eligible tax checks of $10,000 or more with the Federal Reserve banks. Each day this
bank will prepare in the name of the drawee depositary bank a “Special Draft for Credit in Treasury Tax
and Loan Account,” in an amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of such checks. In accordance with
conditions set forth on the face of the special drafts, the depositaries may exercise their options to accept
the amounts shown on the special drafts for deposit in their Treasury Tax and Loan Accounts. Attention is
called to the requirement that deposits in the account be secured a t the time of entry by the pledge of
a d e q u a te collateral.

The Treasury Department reserves the right to decrease the percentage amount of such checks for
credit in the Treasury Tax and Loan Account during the period, if such action is required, to prevent
undue fluctuations in the account of the Treasurer of the United States with Federal Reserve banks.
Withdrawals of balances in Treasury Tax and Loan Accounts will be made as required by the needs
of the Treasury, and no distinction will be made between these and other deposits.
Additional copies of this circular will be furnished upon request.
Yours very truly,
Watrous H. Irons
President
