FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF DALLAS
F IS C A L A G E N T O F TH E U N ITE D S T A T E S

Dallas, Texas, September 24, 1946

To A ll Qualified Paying A gents
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve D istrict:

Treasury Department Circular No. 750, Revised, states that each pay­
ing agent shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for its services in
paying savings bonds on the basis of bonds paid and forwarded to the
Federal Reserve Bank or branch each calendar quarter. In order to follow
that procedure, it is necessary to defer the preparation of statements of
amounts due paying agents until approximately the 15th of the month
following each quarter to assure that all transmittal letters dated within
the quarter have been received in this bank or one of its branches.
In order to effect prompt settlement and to enable paying agents to
more readily reconcile the statements of amounts due for paying bonds,
the Treasury Department has authorized this bank to determine the
amount of reimbursement due each paying agent for services rendered on
the basis of the bonds received during each quarter rather than on the
basis of bonds forwarded by paying agents during each quarter. Under
the new procedure, which will become effective with the quarter ending
September 30, 1946, claims for reimbursement will be prepared and for­
warded to paying agents for their approval approximately ten days earlier
than has been possible heretofore.
Yours very truly,
R. R. GILBERT
President
