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

  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.

following a small July advance, but the volume of commercial and finance company

prime and commercial paper rates continued to make the paper market relatively
attractive.

Following the August FOMC meeting, the Desk continued to

provide reserves consistent with the Federal funds rate remaining in a range
of 6-1/8 to 6-1/4 per cent.

On the basis of data for the aggregates that

became available after Labor Day,

the staff reduced its projection of M1

growth for August-September to the lower part of the Committee's range of
tolerance and its projection of M growth below the bottom of the range.

In

view of the expectation of a substantial strengthening in demands for money
and credit over coming months, and the likelihood that a decline in the
Federal funds rate may have to be reversed shortly, the Committee concurred
on September 5 in the Chairman's recommendation to instruct the Desk to
continue aiming at a Federal funds rate in a 6-1/8 to 6-1/4 per cent area,
leaning toward the lower figure.

In the most recent statement week,

The Treasury indicated that it would be raising about $44 to

$47 billion in the second half of 1975, which is about $3-$6 billion more than
previously announced.

Allowing for the funds already raised since mid-year,

the remaining cash need to be covered between now and year-end appears to be

in the $23-$26 billion range.

A substantial amount of this will be auctioned

between now and the next Committee meeting.

The Treasury will raise $1 billion

of new cash in the monthly 2-year note auction on September 16, and will offer
$2 billion of 29-month notes on September 24.

Following relatively slow growth in the July-August period,

in September and October M1 is expected to expand at rates more nearly
consistent with the underlying strength of transactions demands.

Deposit

expansion in the previous months had been dampened as the public brought
deposit holdings into a more normal relationship with income and interest
rates, following the sharp bulge in late spring resulting from special
Treasury payments.

This process now appears to have been completed.

Under alternative A --which assumes the same Federal funds rate range
for the forthcoming intermeeting period as that adopted at the last
meeting--M 1 is

expected to rise at an annual rate in the 6½-3½ per cent

area over this and the next month on average.

M 2 growth is also likely

to accelerate, mainly reflecting the more rapid expansion on demand deposits.

However, growth in consumer-type time and savings deposits also is
expected to strengthen a little, at least temporarily, from its reduced
August rate.
(10)

If Federal funds over the next few weeks were to continue

trading in the recent 6-1/8--6¾ per cent range, market interest rates
generally would be likely to show little further net change.

Interest

rates on Treasury securities--particularly bills and short-intermediate
issues--have been adjusting upward recently in response to the cash need
and financing package announced by the Treasury on Wednesday.

Some

further yield increases could occur, though, as the new securities are
auctioned, with about $8

billion of new cash to be raised through auctions

of coupon issues between now and around the time of the next meeting.
(11)

Business borrowing in the corporate bond market over the

weeks ahead is likely to be at a slower rate than in the first half of
this year, though picking up from the reduced August pace and still
quite sizable by historical standards.

The prospective volume of state

and local government issues remains relatively large.

The municipal market

could be stabilized, for a time, by the assistance package for New York
City enacted by the New York State legislature.

It is possible that the

period of calm may last into the fall, but there are still substantial
uncertainties in the market, typified by the slow reception initially
accorded the recent offering of generously priced short-term New York
State issues.
(12)

Given the large amount of Treasury borrowing that is

being compressed into the next month or so, as well as the still sensitive

-8state of the municipal market,

a significant rise in

the Federal funds

rate--for example, toward the upper end of the 5-3/4--7 per cent range
of alternative A--would likely lead to substantial further yield advances.
Interest rate increases would be accentuated if

strengthening credit

demands on banks from businesses and consumers were at the same time
reducing bank willingness to add to Treasury security holdings.

by late fall, assuming a longer-run M objective characterized by 7

per

cent growth from QII '75 to QII '76 (the assumption of the Green Book
GNP projection), with further funds rate increases anticipated in the
first half of next year.

Attainment of a longer-run 6

per cent annual

rate of growth in M1 would be likely to require more prompt and intensive
pressure on the funds market.

In view of the further interest rate increases

Alternative C encompasses an immediate substantial tightening

of the money market and is characterized by a Federal funds rate range
for the intermeeting period of 6 -8 per cent, centering on 7¼ per cent.
With growth in nonborrowed reserves more constrained, member bank borrowing
under this alternative would be likely to rise to $400 million or more,
given the 6 per cent discount rate.

A rise in the 3-month bill

above would not be unlikely, and the yield

on 2-year Treasury notes could exceed 9 per cent.
(15)

Such rate levels would undoubtedly divert savings flows

away from banks and thrift institutions.

The staff would expect the

annual rate of growth in consumer-type time deposits at banks and deposits
at thrift institutions to drop to around a 7-8 per cent rate in October.
Pressures on such flows would be intensified later in the fall and early
next year, when further increases in the Federal funds rate would be
expected.
(16)

Under alternative C mortgage market conditions may be

expected to tighten rather promptly, with rates rising further over the
next few weeks and with lenders becoming less willing to make loan
commitments.

Under alternative A, and to a certain extent under

alternative B (to be discussed below),

strains on the mortgage

market would be more delayed and less severe.

As in the other alternatives, additional tightening

would appear to be necessary later this year and early next year.

The

staff has assumed that the Federal funds rate under this alternative
would probably rise to the 7 -8

per cent area by late fall.

particular funds rate pattern would be consistent with a one-year growth

(18)

Given below is a proposed operational paragraph if the

Committee wishes to continue formulating its instructions in terms of
desired growth in monetary aggregates over the months ahead.

No

alternatives are presented for this formulation, in the expectations that
the reference to desired growth will be taken to apply to the longer-term
targets and that the Committee will not be reconsidering its present 5 to

7

per cent target range--with which all of the short-run operating

alternatives discussed in the preceding sections are consistent--until
the October meeting.

To implement this policy, while taking account of developments
in domestic and international financial markets, the Committee seeks
to achieve bank reserve and money market conditions consistent with
moderate growth in monetary aggregates over the months ahead.

Should the Committee desire to formulate the directive

in terms of bank reserve and money market conditions, the language needed
would depend on the specific conditions sought.

agreements maturing in 16 days or more, are indicators of dealer holdings for sale over the near-term. Other security dealer positions issues
still in syndicate, excluding trading positions. The basic reserve deficit is excess reserves less borrowing at Federal Reserves 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

week figures.
