Exhibit 4
The Considerable Period Sentence
December 2003 FOMC Statement

"With inflation quite low and resource use slack, the Committee
believes that policy accomodation can be maintained for a
considerable period."

Considerable Period Options

Retain

Drop

Modify

* Confident economy will
evolve in a benign
manner.

* Tightening within next
few meetings not
ruled out.

* Outsized market reaction
to dropping.

* Or inflation on low side
of desired range.

* Costs of having to delay
tightening or renege
damaging.

* "Patience" would imply
gradual firming.

Potential Alternative

"With inflation quite low and resourse use slack, the Committee believes
that it can be patient in removing its policy accomodation."
