/4 ERAL 7'ii 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". /aReserves Available to Support Private Nonbank Deposits—^ (Seasonally adjusted, billions of dollars) Monthly Weekly 6 13 . 20 27 27.12 26.71 26.91 26.98 3, 10 17 24 26.99 26.96 27.08 27.30 3 10 17 24 31 27.35 27.34 27.60 27.37 27.62 7 14 21 28 27.74 27.78 27.65 27.7 6 5 - 12 19 26 27.7 6 27.91 27.87 1971—Jan.
