n

Proving (1) the payment of salaries to two
cers at rates fixed by the Bank's Board of
irectors, and (2) noting a reassignment of an
c'fficer without change in salary or title.
With reference to Item No. 8, the Federal Reserve Bank of

Philadelphia bad expressed some concern that if a State member bank

1/18/63

-4-

'were permitted to absorb postage charges on shipments of currency to
a n°4-hank customer, this might create a precedent and make it difficult
to prevent city correspondent banks from extending the privilege to
country bank customers on a broad scale.
by

The draft of reply considered

the Board included a paragraph that would have noted this concern and

Pointed out that the problem had previously received the attention of
Other Reserve Banks.

There was considerable doubt whether it could be

established that an indirect payment of interest would be involved.
Rowever, it had been suggested informally to those Banks that they confer
th the member banks proposing to absorb such expenses and bring out
that,

regardless of its legality, the practice probably would result

14 loss of revenue.

Apparently, the Reserve Banks had been able to

e°4vince the member banks concerned that the practice should not be
ad°131ted, and the draft would have suggested that the Philadelphia Bank
Might be able to do likewise should any correspondent bank in its
tlistrict propose to absorb charges on money shipments to other banks.
Atter discussion at this meeting, it was the consensus of the Board
that the proposed paragraph should not be included in the letter.

It

/1641 understood, however, that Mr. Hooff would discuss the matter
Informally with Vice President Campbell of the Philadelphia Bank.
Messrs. Hooff, Young, and Grimwood then withdrew from the

Meeting.
Time deposits of United Nations organizations.

There had

been distributed a memorandum from Mr. Hackley dated January 15, 1963,

1/18/63

-5-

with respect to the question whether time deposits of the United Nations
SPecial Fund and the United National Technical Assistance Administration
were exempted by Public Law 87-827 from interest rate limitations prescribed
by the Board.

As described more fi11.y in an attached memorandum from

Mr* Doyle dated December 4, 1962, these organizations provided technical
assistance in underdeveloped countries, used funds contributed voluntarily
by member nations, and made some grants for certain assistance purposes,
hut did not make loans.

It was the conclusion of the Legal Division that

tiMs deposits of these organizations were not exempt from interest rate
likitations, and it was recommended that the Federal Reserve Bank of
Ns'w York be advised to such effect.

However, since it seemed unlikely

that questions regarding the status of the organizations would arise
°Iltside of New York City, it was not thought necessary to advise the
°ther Federal Reserve Banks or to publish an interpretation in the
Federal Register or the Federal Reserve Bulletin.
Following comments by Mr. Hackley, there ensued a general
discussion during which the status and activities of the two organizati°ns were reviewed and some members of the Board expressed reservations
h°Ut the proposed interpretation of the law.

Mr. Hackley related that

the conclusion of the Legal Division reflected agreement with views
expressed by attorneys for the Treasury, the Federal Deposit Insurance
C°rPoration, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Reference also

741s made to the questions presented earlier with respect to time deposits

the European Coal and Steel Community and the European Investment Bank,
alld certain similarities were outlined.

1/18/63

-6During the discussion Governor Mitchell repeated a suggestion

he had made previously that the problem could be alleviated by increasing
the

maximum permissible rate of interest on short-term time certificates

under Regulation Q, Payment of Interest on Deposits.
The possible implications of a policy of leniency in making
interpretations under Public Law 87-827 were reviewed briefly, following
which Mr. Hackley observed that a final decision with respect to time
deposits of the European Coal and Steel Community was being withheld
by the Board pending a meeting with representatives of that organization
On

Thursday, January 24.

In his opinion there was more to be said for

h°1ding that time deposits of the Coal and Steel Community were exempt
than time deposits of the two United Nations organizations.
Snrr".
-Tbti.eStiOn

It was his

that the Board might want to defer a final decision as to

till* deposits of the two United Nations organizations until after the
)1leeting with the representatives of the Coal and Steel Community and,
after discussion, there was agreement with that suggestion.
Governor Robertson joined the meeting at this point and all
Illenlbers of the staff except Messrs. Sherman, Noyes, and Johnson then
Wi
thdrew.
Salary of Mr. Grove (Item No. 11).

The Board approved unanimously

the payment of salary at an annual rate of $25,000 to David L. Grove as
Vice President of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco effective
that
llarY 1, 1963, through December 31, 1963, with the understanding

this

As far as exports are concerned, the existing stand-by arrangement of
the Maritime Administration, which seems to be sufficient to
prot
the position of the exporters, has the advantage of leaving the

With respect to the solvency of the underwriters and exporters,
