F e b ru a ry 2 5 , 1991

Nomination of Class B Director
For Term of Office Ending December 31, 1993
To the M em b er B anks o f the Secon d F ederal R eserve D istrict:

An election o f a Class B director of this Bank will be held under the provisions of section 4
o f the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, to choose a successor to Jo h n F. W e l c h ,Jr ., Chairman
o f the Board, GE, Fairfield, Conn., whose term as a Class B director expired December 31, 1990.

Mr. Welch was elected by member banks in Group 3 and his successor will be chosen by this
group. Member banks in Groups 1 and 2 will not participate in this election.
The classification o f member banks for the purposes of nomination and election of Class A
and B directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is as follows:
Group 1 consists of banks with capital and surplus of more than $400,000,000;
Group 2, of banks with capital and surplus of $30,000,000 to $400,000,000, inclusive; and
Group 3, of banks with capital and surplus of less than $30,000,000.
For the purposes of this election, a member bank’s classification will be determined by its capital
and surplus as of the date of this circular, even though its capital and surplus may change before
the polls close. The list of banks comprising Group 3 begins on page 3.
Except in the case of any member banks that are subsidiaries of the same bank holding com­
pany,* each member bank in Group 3 is permitted to nominate one candidate for Class B
* Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, reads in part as follows:
“ .. . That whenever any member banks within the same Federal Reserve district are subsidiaries of the
same bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, participation
in any such nomination or election by such member banks, including such bank holding company if it is also
a member bank, shall be confined to one of such banks, which may be designated for the purpose by such
holding company.”
Pursuant to the foregoing provision, a nomination by any bank that is a subsidiary of a bank holding company
having other subsidiaries in the same voting group cannot be accepted unless there is on file with this Bank evidence
that such bank has been so designated. Accordingly, banks affected by the foregoing provision of the law are re­
quested to take prompt action to have the appropriate bank holding company designate, if it has not already des­
ignated, one of such banks to participate in this nomination and election.
If such bank holding company does not have on file with this Bank an appropriate resolution either perma­
nently designating one of such banks to participate in nominations or elections of this Bank’s directors or setting
forth the authority under which such designations will be made from time to time, such bank holding company
may wish to file such resolution with this Bank. A form of resolution authorizing officers of a bank holding company
to make such designations is enclosed for such bank holding companies.







director.! The nominations should be made by resolutions of the boards of directors of the nom­
inating banks (or by resolutions of the banks’ executive committees, if such committees are empow­
ered to take such action), and certified copies of such resolutions should be sent to this Bank so
as to reach this Bank on or before 3 p.m. on Monday, March 25, 1991. The enclosed printed forms
show the appropriate form of resolution, and o n e e x e c u te d c o p y of the form should be returned to
this Bank.
On March 26, 1991, copies of the list of candidates (indicating by whom nominated) and pref­
erential ballots will be mailed to the banks in Group 3. The law provides that the ballot shall be
cast within 15 days after receipt o f this list. The polls will open at 10 a.m., Wednesday, March 27,
1991, and will close at 12 noon on Thursday, April 11, 1991. Upon the closing of the polls, the
ballot box will be opened in the board room of this Bank, the votes counted and checked by tellers,
and the result of the election announced. The candidates may, if they so desire, be present or repre­
sented on that occasion.
In order to be counted as valid, the ballot must be executed by an officer authorized to cast
the vote and must be received by this Bank at or before the time thus fixed for the closing of the
polls (i.e., at or before 12 noon on Thursday, April 11, 1991). The officers heretofore designated
for this purpose by each bank in Group 3 are shown on the list beginning on page 3. Any Group
3 bank that desires to change its authorization should do so by resolution of its board of directors;
a certified copy o f such resolution must reach this Bank before the polls close. A form for this pur­
pose is also enclosed.

t Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, reads in part as follows:
“Class B shall consist of three members, who shall represent the public and shall be elected without dis­
crimination on the basis of race, creed, color, sex, or national origin, and with due but not exclusive con­
sideration to the interests of agriculture, commerce, industry, services, labor, and consumers. No director of
class B shall be an officer, director, or employee of any bank.”
“No Senator or Representative in Congress shall be a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System or an officer or a director of a Federal reserve bank.”
[The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has expressed the opinion that it is inappropriate, as a general rule, for
directors of Federal Reserve Banks to hold partisan political or public office in the service of the United States, or of any State, Territory,
county, district, political subdivision, or municipality thereof, to act as members of political party committees, or to serve as officers
or directors of political action committees or as members of the governing bodies of such committees. The System’s policy is to avoid
any situations that might give the appearance of associating the Reserve Banks with political activities.]
