Letter to the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia 8 regarding the question whether the absorption of Postage charges on weekly shipments of currency by a State member bank to a non-bank customer should be construed as an indirect payment of interest. Letter to the Bureau of the Budget commenting on a 9 Proposal to provide cargo war risk reinsurance. Letter to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York 10 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.

C. 1)(1441‘ Mr. Broadbent: Reference is made to your letter of December 27, 1962, requesting istrodrd's comments with respect to a proposal that the Maritime Adminlier tation furnish cargo war risk reinsurance under Title XII of the cuant Marine Act of 1936. the b _, While the Board of Governors does not have a direct interest in concerned if a situation developed in which this eouri watter' it would be trY i s foreign trade was adversely affected, or if the solvency of ancial institutions were to be threatened by a nuclear attack. 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 1.4)ii-Itive with the Maritime Administration, whereas the proposed plan sta d become effective automatically, regardless of surrounding circumflees) and would expose the Government to a large and incalculable loss. 4 With respect to the solvency of the underwriters and exporters, ustLfication for reinsurance of ships and cargoes in the past has ' beoll ever,the great danger to ships at sea during time of war, while in the of a nuclear war, the risk probably would not be primarily to 8 at sea but to ships in port. All assets at the port area and in oth : giv_r areas would be exposed to the same risk. The proposed plan would 104 the underwriters and exporters practically a full guarantee against 1,7o148 from nuclear attack which no other owner or insurer of an asset to i Possess. The Board questions whether such guarantee is necessary pos 14Isure an uninterrupted flow of exports in a period prior to a 8 ble attack. The primary effect of the proposed plan would seem to be ' Elodillet the protection of exports, but the protection of the underwriters exporters. the Mr. Sam R. Broadbent The Government currently has under active consideration plans he t r ) fc att_ financial protection of assets damaged or destroyed by nuclear 1,144ek. It may be noted that the possibility of war damage insurance idered but was discarded as not suitable under the possible c°" cir o_ cumstances. In the event of a nuclear war, underwriters and exporters Trad be treated the same as owners or insurers of any other asset. Board sees no justification at this time for preferential treatment. It is the opinion of the Board that the best interests of the Cove.. Lament would not be served by the proposed reinsurance plan.
