In view of this situation, the Treasury will permit trustees to file with Federal Reserve Banks or Branches, or the Treasurer of the United States, or place in the mail before midnight February 21, 1962, a letter of intent stating that they propose to enter or are considering submission of exchange subscrip tions and giving the reasons which account for their inability to complete their subscriptions by that date. In such cases the subscribers will have until the close of business February 28, 1962, to complete their subscriptions. A lfred H ayes, President.
