To the Addressee:
On June 13, 1990, Circular No. 10352 was issued

Companies and Change in Bank Control) regarding the leasing of
personal property by bank holding companies.

Board's proposal was invited by July 16.
Subsequently, the Board of Governors published in the
Federal Register a correction to that proposal, the text of which
has been reprinted on the reverse side of this notice.
Comments on the proposal should still be submitted by
July 16, and may be sent to the Board of Governors, as set forth
