BOARD

March 20, 1962.

Dear Sir:
As you know, the Federal Open Market Committee, at
its meeting on March 6, 1962, adopted a revised procedure for
the allocation of securities in the System Open Market Account,
effective immediately.
The newly-adopted procedure provides for reallocations
of securities on the first
business day of February, May, August,
and November of each year. Its adoption means, therefore, that
the April 1 reallocation that would have been made under the
superseded procedure will not be made and that the next reallocation of securities, according to the new procedure, will be on
May 1, 1962.
Very truly your,

Merritt Sherman,
Secretary.

TO THE PRESIDENTS OF ALL FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS.
