F E D E R A L statistical FILE COPY DO NOT K : ~ \ £ E.ll R E S E R V E release I For immediate release June 18, 1976 QUARTERLY REPORT ON FOREIGN BRANCHES The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System today announced the results of the March 31, 1976 report on the geographical distribution of the assets and liabilities of major foreign branches of U.S. banks, together with revised figures for December 31, 1975. The revised data for December 1975 reflect two types of adjustments. The number of reporting branches increased after the December reports were first received. The revised December figures reflect this increase and are consistent with the March figures with iregard to reporting branches. In addition, there were revisions of the original December reports. In particular, these revisions served to reduce assets and liabilities vis-a-vis East Germany and increase those vis-a-vis West Germany.
