Reference was made to the Fall Conferences of Governors and Federal
Reserve -';-Cents which were originally scheduled to be held on October 19,
but indefinitely postponed.

It was the consensus that meetings of the

°°nference of Governors and the Open Market Policy Conference should be
held, beginning November 30, but that the Conference of Federal Reserve
4ellts should not be called because of the general feeling which prevails
that in the present circumstances it would be preferable not to have both
CllairmaJa and Governor leave their posts at the same time.
Consideration was then given to the publication of the report subQtted recently by the Committee on Bank Reserves of the Federal Reserve
SYstam.
It was voted to authorize the Committee to arrange for the printing
Of the report and its distribution among the member banks of the Federal
Rese-‘vu System and others interested in the subject. The Committee was intileted, however, to incorporate in the printed report a foreword that
the permission of the Federal Reserve Board, and pending consideration
thereof by the Board and the Federal Reserve banks, the accompanying report

Or

the commit
tee on Bank Reserves of the Federal Reserve System is being

'1113118hed for the information of the member banks of the System and others
14terested in the subject."
