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.

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.
