Prefatory Note

The attached document represents the most complete and accurate version available
based on original copies culled from the files of the FOMC Secretariat at the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This electronic document was created
through a comprehensive digitization process which included identifying the bestpreserved paper copies, scanning those copies, 1 and then making the scanned
versions text-searchable. 2 Though a stringent quality assurance process was
employed, some imperfections may remain.
Please note that some material may have been redacted from this document if that
material was received on a confidential basis. Redacted material is indicated by
occasional gaps in the text or by gray boxes around non-text content. All redacted
passages are exempt from disclosure under applicable provisions of the Freedom of
Information Act.

In some cases, original copies needed to be photocopied before being scanned into electronic
format. All scanned images were deskewed (to remove the effects of printer- and scanner-introduced
tilting) and lightly cleaned (to remove dark spots caused by staple holes, hole punches, and other
blemishes caused after initial printing).

2

A two-step process was used. An advanced optical character recognition computer program (OCR)
first created electronic text from the document image. Where the OCR results were inconclusive,
staff checked and corrected the text as necessary. Please note that the numbers and text in charts and
tables were not reliably recognized by the OCR process and were not checked or corrected by staff.

Recent developments
(1) M-1 growth accelerated to a 12 per cent annual rate in
October, but recent data suggest that growth in November will slow substantially to about a 1 per cent annual rate.

Thus, over the October-

November period, M-1 is now expected to expand at an annual rate of about
6

per cent, as compared with the Committee's 3 to 8 per cent range for

this period.

Growth of time deposits other than negotiable CD's has

picked up in recent weeks, about offsetting a slowing in the expansion
of passbook accounts.

M-2 growth for October and November is projected at

near a 7¾ per cent annual rate, just above the mid-point of its range.
Deposit flows into thrifts moderated in October, but remained at historically
high levels.

Nonborrowed reserves declined in October, reflecting increased

volume of member bank borrowing from the System.

However, borrowing has

fallen somewhat since the increase in the discount rate to 6 per cent in
late October, and, given the recent strength in deposits, nonborrowed
reserves are expected to expand at a 2¾ per cent average annual rate for
October and November combined.

Following the October FOMC meeting, the Desk continued to

aim for a Federal funds rate of around 6

per cent.

However, at the end

of October, as available data suggested that the aggregates were growing
at rates near to, or above, the upper ends of their ranges, the Desk sought
slightly firmer money market conditions.

Most recently, with additional

data indicating a more moderate growth of the aggregates, the Desk has
once again been aiming at a funds rate around 6

per cent. Over the inter-

meeting period, the funds rate has generally fluctuated between 6

and 6-5/8

per cent.
(3)

With the Federal funds rate showing little change on balance

since the October meeting--at a time when a number of market observers
had expected it to rise further--short-term market interest rates have
declined somewhat.

This small decline in rates occurred even though credit

flows in short-term markets increased.

Business loan growth at banks

accelerated in October--perhaps reflecting in part a change in seasonal
borrowing patterns.

In addition, outstanding commercial paper of nonfinancial

-3firms remained unchanged after declining in September.

Banks met a portion

of the rise in loan volume by running off Treasury securities, as they
have been doing since June of this year, and by issuing negotiable CD's
at the fastest rate in over three years.
(4)

Rates on Treasury and corporate bonds have edged slightly

higher since October, while yields on municipal issues have dropped somewhat.

Corporate and municipal bond offerings moderated in recent weeks,

especially relative to normal seasonal patterns.

The Treasury, however,

has auctioned a substantial volume of intermediate- and longer-term debt
in conjunction with its mid-quarter refunding operation.

Also, household

demands for mortgages and consumer credit appear to have remained strong.
Despite some slowing in their deposit growth, savings and loan associations

apparently have maintained a very active stance in mortgage markets,

in part by augmenting deposit inflows with borrowings from Home Loan Banks.
(5)

In its refunding operations, the Treasury auctioned

$3.3 billion of 3-year notes at an average rate of 7.24 per cent, $2 billion
of 10-year notes at 7.69 per cent and $1.3 billion of 30-year bonds at
7.94 per cent, to raise $4.1 billion of new money and redeem $2.4 billion
of maturing debt.

The 3-year note auction was marked by a very large

volume of noncompetitive tenders.

In trading after the auction, the

price of this note fell following the System's temporary firming move,
but subsequent price increases have erased this early decline; the other
issues have been consistently trading at premiums relative to their
respective auction averages.

Prospective Developments
(7)

Shown below for the Committee's consideration are three

alternative sets of specifications for the monetary aggregates and the
Federal funds rate for the forthcoming intermeeting period.

Ranges for Nov.-Dec.

(8)

Under alternative B, the Federal funds rate would be

expected to remain near the mid-point of the 6¼ to 6¾ per cent rate range
specified by the Committee at its last meeting.

M-1 growth over the

November-December period likely to be associated with such a funds rate
would be in a 2-7 per cent annual rate range.

While data available so

far this month suggest that M-1 will expand only slightly in November,
the staff would anticipate an acceleration in December--perhaps to about
an 8 per cent annual rate--given the projected strengthening of nominal
GNP and the associated underlying transactions demands for cash.

Such an

expansion would produce a 7½ per cent annual rate of growth of M-1 from the
third to the fourth quarter, somewhat below the 9 per cent average annual
rate of growth of this aggregate in the second and third quarters of 1977.

If staff expectations are realized for November-December,

M-1 in the first three quarters of 1978 would have to expand at a 4 to

4 per cent annual rate to achieve the mid-point of the Committee's
longer-run range of 4-6

per cent for the QIII '77-QIII '78 period.

This

is likely to require further increases in interest rates, given our view
that money demand will continue to be stronger relative to economic
activity than was the case in 1975 and 1976, and also given the projected
11 per cent annual rate of increase for nominal GNP over the first three
quarters of next year.

The Federal funds rate may have to begin rising

by late December and reach a level of about 7¾ per cent in the spring,
as shown in Appendix I.

The increases in money market rates would, of

course, be accompanied by a return to higher rates of velocity growth, as
shown in Appendix II.
(10)

Growth in M-2 over the November-December period is likely

to be in a 5 to 9 per cent annual rate range under Alternative B.

The

time and savings deposit component of M-2 under this alternative is
expected to continue to expand at near its recent pace.

Although savings

deposits at commercial banks are likely to continue growing relatively
slowing over the near-term as interest sensitive depositors shift to
higher yielding assets, time deposits at banks, especially those not
subject to Regulation Q ceiling, are expected to grow at a relatively
rapid rate.

In addition, shifting of maturing wildcard accounts from

banks to thrifts will no longer be a depressant on commercial bank time
deposit growth, as seems to have been the case during the third quarter.

-10(11)

Even with the higher rates of interest expected in 1978,

the time and savings deposit component of M-2 is likely to grow next
year at a pace only marginally below that expected for November-December.
Historically, very low rates of growth of savings deposits at banks have
been short-lived--as the most interest sensitive depositors tend to shift
out of such assets quickly.

Inflows of consumer-type time deposits to

banks are likely to weaken significantly.

However, given the staff's

projection of continued sizable bank credit demands, banks can be expected
to step up their offerings of large denomination time deposits included
in M-2 but not subject to Regulation Q ceilings.
(12)
October.

Inflows to thrift institutions moderated somewhat in

Such inflows may moderate somewhat further over the next few

weeks under alternative B, and can be expected to decelerate markedly in
1978 if the projected rise of interest rates materializes.

However, the

deceleration at thrifts--and at banks as well--is not likely to be as
marked as might be expected from interest rate considerations alone
because of the high level of nominal income growth projected for

1978

and the large volume of longer-term time certificates now outstanding at
depository institutions.

This would tend to moderate the extent to which

thrifts will have to increase their borrowing and reduce liquidity in
order to meet
(13)

outstanding mortgage commitments.
If the Federal funds rate remains near its present 6-1/2

per cent level over the intermeeting period, as envisioned under Alternative B, short-term interest rates will probably show little net change
during the next few weeks, even though demands for short-term funds are likely

-11to be rather strong over this period.

The Treasury is expected to sell

a large block of cash management bills in early December and the moderate
forward calendar of corporate bond offerings suggests that business demands
for credit may be relatively strong in the short-term area over the balance
of the year.

Under these circumstances, it appears likely that yields on

long-term bonds will be relatively stable over the near term and could
even edge down a bit.
(14)

Alternative C contemplates an increase in the Federal funds

rate to the mid-point of a 6¾ to 7¼ per cent range between now and the
next Committee meeting.

With additional monetary restraint in place some-

what sooner, the staff would expect growth in the monetary aggregates to
be somewhat slower over the next few months than under Alternative B.

Con-

sequently, somewhat less monetary restraint would be needed later in 1978,
and interest rates would rise a little less next year under alternative C
than under B.
(15)

A near-term increase in the Federal funds rate to around

7 per cent would probably be associated with an increase in money market
rates of about one-half percentage point.

Member bank borrowing from the

discount window would probably once again rise substantially, and pressures
for another increase in the discount rate would soon develop.

The bank

prime rate also could be expected to increase by at least one-fourth of
a percentage point.

Long-term rates would probably rise considerably

less, on balance, than short-term market rates, particularly in view of
the large volume of investable funds available from insurance companies
and pension funds.

-12An easing in the funds rate to the mid-point of a 5¾ to

(16)

6¾ per cent range, as envisioned under Alternative A, could stimulate substantial downward adjustments in interest rates.

Such rate movements, how-

ever, would probably be short-lived, since the added impetus to growth in
the monetary aggregates would soon require a sharp reversal in interest
rates in order to constrain the aggregates to the Committee's longer-run
ranges.

With M-1 likely to expand at about a 7 per cent average annual

rate over the fourth quarter of 1977 and the first quarter of 1978 under
this alternative, interest rates would have to rise sufficiently to hold
M-1 growth in the second and third quarters of 1978 to a 3½ per cent
annual rate.

The projected Federal funds pattern for this alternative

calls, therefore, for sustained increases to around 8¼ per cent in the third
quarter of 1978.

Under such circumstances, some adjustment in Regulation Q

ceilings may have to be considered by next summer.

-13Directive language
(17)

Given below are alternatives for the operational paragraphs

of the directive.

The first formulation places main emphasis on near-term

rates of growth in monetary aggregates.

The second formulation, like the

directive adopted at the last meeting, places main emphasis on money market
conditions; it shows--in strike-through form--the specifications adopted at
the last meeting.

As suggested below, the particular language needed in

the opening lines of the money market formulation would depend on the
specific conditions sought; the three alternatives shown--calling, respectively, for somewhat easier, prevailing, and somewhat firmer money market
conditions--are intended to be associated with the specifications discussed
in the preceding section under alternatives A, B, and C.
"Money Aggregates" Formulation
The Committee seeks to encourage near-term rates of growth in
M-1 and M-2 on a path believed to be reasonably consistent with
the longer-run ranges for monetary aggregates cited in the preceding
paragraph.

Specifically, at present, it expects the annual growth

rates over the November-December period to be within the ranges of
to ____per
____
for M-2.

cent for M-1 and ____

to ____

per cent

In the judgment of the Committee such growth rates are

likely to be associated with a weekly-average Federal funds rate of
about ____

per cent.

If, giving approximately equal weight to

M-1 and M-2, it appears that growth rates over the 2-month period
will deviate significantly from the midpoints of the indicated

-14ranges, the operational objective for the Federal funds rate shall
be modified in an orderly fashion within a range of ____
____

to

per cent.

If it appears during the period before the next meeting that
the operating constraints specified above are proving to be significantly inconsistent, the Manager is promptly to notify the Chairman
who will then decide whether the situation calls for supplementary
instructions from the Committee.
"Money Market" Formulation
At this time, the Committee seeks to maintain about the prevailing money market conditions (OR TO ACHIEVE SOMEWHAT EASIER OR SOMEWHAT FIRMER MONEY MARKET CONDITIONS) during the period immediately
ahead, provided that monetary aggregates appear to be growing at
approximately the rates currently expected, which are believed to
be on a path reasonably consistent with the longer-run ranges for
monetary aggregates cited in the preceding paragraph.

Specifically,

the Committee seeks to maintain the weekly-average Federal funds

to be growing over the[DEL:

fashion within

If it appears during the period before the next meeting that

These rates

are above the growth rates for the 1977 QIII to 1978 QI period shown in
the table above that are thought to be consistent with the alternatives
presented to the Committee.

Thus, a slowing in the growth of reserves,

and a considerable slowing in nonborrowed reserves, will be needed over
the months ahead.

table assume no change in the discount rate from its current level of 6
per cent.

Increases in the discount rate would, of course, shift the

composition of total reserves more toward nonborrowed than borrowed
reserves).

NOTE:
Government security dealer trading positions are on a commitment basis.
Trading positions, which exclude Treasury securities financing by
repurchase agreements maturing in 16 days or more, are indicators of dealer holdings available for sale over the near-term. Underwriting syndicate
positions consist of issues still in syndicate, excluding trading positions. The basic reserve deficit is excess reserves less borrowing at Federal
Reserve less net Federal funds purchases.
Weekly data are daily averages for statement weeks, except for corporate and municipal issues in syndicate
which are Friday figures.

*
**

Strictly confidential.
Monthly averages for excess reserves and borrowings are weighted averages of statement week figures.

NOTE:
Weekly data for columns 1 to 4 are statement week averages of daily data. Columns 5 and 6 are 1-day Wednesday quotes (prior to 1976, figures shown
are for 60-89 day and 90-119 day ranges, respectively) .
For columns 7 through 10, the weekly date is the mid-point of the calendar week over which data
are averaged. Columns 11 and 12 are 1-day quotes for Friday and Thursday, respectively, following the end of the statement week.
Column 13 is an average
of contract interest rates on commitments for conventional first mortgages with 80 per cent loan-to-value ratios made by a sample of insured savings and
loan associations on the Friday following the end of the statement week. Column 14 gives FNMA auction data for Monday preceding the end of the statement
week. Column 15 is a 1-day quote for Monday preceding the end of the statement week. The FNMA auction yield is the average yield in bi-weekly auction
for short-term forward commitments for Government underwritten mortgages.
GNMA yields are average net yields to investors on mortgage-backed securities
for immediate delivery, assuming prepayment in 12 years on pools of 30-year FHA/VA mortgages carrying the coupon rate 50 basis points below the current
FHA/VA ceiling.
