Official Signature General Definitions and Instructions This report form is designed to cover "short term” and certain other liabilities to "foreigners” which represent claims, acquired either here or abroad, on institutions or individuals in the United States, in so far as data on these liabilities may be obtained from reporting ban!«, bankers, and others. A separation is required between liabilities to "foreigners” payable in dollars and liabilities to "foreigners” payable in foreign currencies. 1. "Foreigners” For the purposes of this report, the term "foreigners” covers: (a) All institutions and individuals, whatever their nationality, who are domiciled, outside the United States. Thus, for example, foreign branches of American banks should be regarded as "foreigners,” precisely as if they were separate foreign banks; United States branches and agencies of foreign hanks in making out this report, should consider their head offices and branches outside the United States as "foreigners.” (b) All those in the United States (except other reporting institutions) to the extent that they are acting on behalf of, for the account of, or for the benefit of, institutions or individuals domiciled outside the United States. Thus, for example, your liabilities arising from balances and investments known to be held by a domestic trustee or nominee for the benefit of those domiciled abroad or held by representatives in the United States of foreign governments should be included in this report, precisely as if such liabilities were directly due to institutions or individuals abroad. Such funds should be reported geographically according to the domicile of the beneficiary. The term "foreigners” does not include other reporting institutions (such as domestic banks or branches and agencies of foreign banks situated in the United States), even though they may be acting on behalf of institutions or individuals domiciled abroad. 2. "Short Term” "Short term” is defined as relating to obligations payable on demand or maturing not more than one year from date of report. Exception: "Long term” securities, both publicly and privately offered, are not to be regarded as "short term” obligations, even when they come within one year of maturity. (See Instruction 3 below.) 3. "Long Term” Securities "Long term” securities are defined as those having a maturity of more than one year from the date of issuance. Such securities, both publicly and privately offered, held for account of "foreigners” are not to be reported on this form, even when they come within one year of maturity; instead, the purchase, sale, or redemption of such securities, and of stocks, should be reported on Form S-l or S-2. However, holdings by "foreigners” of "short term” obligations, including United States Treasury bills and Treasury Cer tificates of Indebtedness, should be reported on this form. 4. "Earmarked” Funds Funds held in the accounts of "foreigners” which are set aside as margin or security against debts of "foreigners” and which will be released upon payment of such indebtedness are to be included in the figures reported on this form. Funds held by you which are set aside against letters of credit; for interest, sinking fund, and bond redemption payments; or for other similar purposes should also be* included in your reported figures. Gold, silver, or currency which may be held in your vaults for foreign account should, however, be excluded. 5. Conversion of Foreign Currency Liabilities into Dollars Liabilities payable in foreign currencies should be converted into dollars at the exchange rates prevailing on the report date. 6. Forward Exchange Contracts Purchases and sales of forward exchange should be ignored for the purposes of this report. (Outstanding forward contracts are to be reported on Form B-3, while purchases and sales of foreign exchange, both spot and forward, as well as the net foreign exchange position, are to be reported on Form B -4/5.) Footnotes (a) The following United States territories and possessions are not to be regarded as "foreign countries” for the purposes of this report: Alaska, American Samoa, the Canal Zone, Guam, Hawaii, Midway Island, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and Wake Island. The Philippine Islands, however, should be considered as "foreign” for the purposes of this report. Accounts of institutions and individuals in outlying possessions of a foreign country should not be combined with those of the parent country, but should be reported under their own appropriate geographical areas. For example, liabilities to those in Java should be reported under the Netherlands East Indies, instead of under the Netherlands.

Holdings of common and preferred stocks and of "long term” securities should not be reported here. (See Instruction 3 above.) (f ) Report under this heading only loans, advances, or overdrafts payable in foreign currencies which have bfen actually granted to you by foreign banks and bankers; do not include unutilized credits, even if such credits represent firm commitments.

The figures reported on this form should also be included as part of your total reported figures on Form B-l. 1. "Official Foreign” Accounts For the purposes of this report, the term, "official foreign” accounts, should be interpreted broadly to include, not only the accounts of recognized central banks of issue and central governments of foreign countries and of their possessions, but also the accounts carried by you for the following: (a) All diplomatic and consular establishments of foreign governments, including such establishments located both in the United States and in other countries (but excluding personal accounts of foreign diplomats, etc.— see paragraph below) ; (b) all branches or departments of foreign central governments, such as the various Ministries, Stabilization Funds, other governmental exchange authorities, etc. ; (c) all other agents and agencies of foreign central governments, including purchasing commissions located in the United States.
