RESERVE
r e l e a s e

May 18, 1972

The policy record for the February 15, 1972 meeting of the
Federal Open Market Committee, released to the public on May 15, 1972,
refers to the measure "reserves available to support private nonbank
deposits".

This reserve measure for member banks is defined as the

total of (1) required reserves for private demand deposits, (2) required
reserves for total time and savings deposits, (3X required reserves for
nondeposit sources subject to reserve requirements"and (4) excess
reserves.

The series excludes required reserves for net interbank

and U.S. Government demand deposits.
On the reverse side is a table showing the monthly and weekly
daily average seasonally adjusted level of "Reserves Available to Support
Private Nonbank Deposits" for the recent period.

These data incorporate ,

certain technical refinements completed in mid-May, and therefore differ
somewhat from the series available to the Open Market Committee prior
to that date.

Comparable data from 1960 are available on request

from the Banking Section, Division of Research and Statistics, Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington, D.C.

20551.

Beginning May 18 "Reserves Available to Support Private Nonbank
Deposits" will be shown in the weekly H.9 Statistical Release ("Weekly
Summary of Banking and Credit Measures") and beginning May 22 in the
weekly H.3 Statistical Release ("Aggregate Reserves and Member Bank
Deposits").

Beginning with the June 1972 issue of the Federal Reserve

Bulletin, the series will appear in the table on page A-18, "Aggregate
Reserves and Member Bank Deposits".
