Prefatory Note The attached document represents the most complete and accurate version available based on original copies culled from the files of the FOMC Secretariat at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This electronic document was created through a comprehensive digitization process which included identifying the bestpreserved paper copies, scanning those copies, 1 and then making the scanned versions text-searchable. 2 Though a stringent quality assurance process was employed, some imperfections may remain. Please note that some material may have been redacted from this document if that material was received on a confidential basis. Redacted material is indicated by occasional gaps in the text or by gray boxes around non-text content. All redacted passages are exempt from disclosure under applicable provisions of the Freedom of Information Act. 1 In some cases, original copies needed to be photocopied before being scanned into electronic format. All scanned images were deskewed (to remove the effects of printer- and scanner-introduced tilting) and lightly cleaned (to remove dark spots caused by staple holes, hole punches, and other blemishes caused after initial printing). 2 A two-step process was used. An advanced optical character recognition computer program (OCR) first created electronic text from the document image. Where the OCR results were inconclusive, staff checked and corrected the text as necessary.

Available data for December suggest a resumption of moderate growth, and for the November-December period M1 is now projected to rise at a 2.1 per cent annual rate--somewhat below the Committee's operating range. Despite the efforts of some institutions to slow inflows of high-cost term funds by cutting rates or reducing advertising, growth of savings and consumer-type time deposits at banks and thrift institutions has continued at a rapid pace. Indeed, growth of time and savings deposits (excluding CD's) at commercial banks is running somewhat stronger than anticipated, and thus M2 is expected to increase at an 11.2 per cent rate in the November-December period--near the midpoint of the range specified by the Committee. With large CD's and interbank deposits also rising unexpectedly and adding to the demand for reserves, nonborrowed reserves appear to be increasing at a 7.5 per cent rate over the two-month policy period.1/ 1/ Appendix A contains a discussion of the actual behavior of nonborrowed reserves in the weeks between the November and December meetings relative to the behavior that was expected to be consistent with the Committee's short-run ranges for monetary growth. Growth in Monetary Aggregates over November-December Period (SAAR in per cent) Ranges M1 3 to 7 M2 9½ to 13½ Memo: Federal funds rate (Per cent per annum) Latest Estimates 2.1 11.2 Avg. for statement week ending Nov. 17 5.02 24 4.90 Dec. 1 4.78 8 4.67 4.68 15 (2) Data available shortly after the November meeting indicated that while M2 growth would be around the mid-point of the range set by the Committee, M1 growth would be in the lower half of its range. Consequently, the Desk proceeded to implement the Committee's directive by seeking a reduction in the Federal funds rate from the prevailing level of 5 per cent--first to 4-7/8 per cent and then to 4¾ per cent. As December progressed, incoming data suggested a further weakening in M 1 growth, and the Desk became somewhat more accommodative in the provision of reserves. Most recently the Desk has been seeking reserve conditions consistent with a Federal funds rate around 4-5/8 per cent. (3) Market rates of interest have declined sharply since the November Committee meeting, reaching lows for the current cycle. Yields on most short-term instruments have dropped about 40 to 60 basis points, and bond yields have eased roughly 30 basis points. Much of the impetus for the market rally was supplied by System actions: the lowering of the Desk's funds rate objective and the quarter-point cut in the discount rate announced on November 19. Expectations of additional easing actions by the System, fostered by evidence of sluggish growth in M1 and slow economic expansion, also contributed to the rally. The prime lending rate at most commercial banks has declined from 6½ to 6¼ per cent, and one major institution has posted a 6 per cent rate. In the mortgage sector, secondary market rates have fallen in sympathy with other yields, but rates on new home loans in the primary market have been stable. Stock prices have risen signifi- cantly since the November meeting. (4) In November, total short-term business credit--that is, business loans plus nonfinancial commercial paper--rose substantially for the second consecutive month. At the same time, public bond offerings by domestic corporations fell to the lowest level of the year. In December, however, the volume of such offerings rebounded, partly because of the decline in interest rates. Tax-exempt bond offerings have remained at a high level, reflecting in part some acceleration of planned borrowings. In the Government sector, the Treasury has borrowed $6 billion, net, since the November meeting, primarily through an addition to the November 2-year note and the sale of 4-year notes and 132-day cash management bills.

M1 in the December-January period would, in consequence, be expected to expand in a 2½-6½ per cent annual rate range. The mid-point of that growth range is close to the average rate of growth in M1 over the past six months--a period when the rate of expansion in nominal GNP had slowed. A faster growth in M 1 is expected to develop later in the winter in reflection of the pick-up in economic expansion that is currently projected by the staff. (8) A continued sizable increase in M 2 would be expected over the next few weeks, given prevailing money market conditions. Growth in M 2 for the December-January period is projected in a 9-13 -5aAlternative Levels and Growth Rates for Key Monetary Aggregates M1 Alt. A M2 Alt. B Alt. C Alt. A Alt. B Alt. C Alt. A Alt.

This reflects continued rapid expansion in time and savings deposits other than money market CD's at banks. The rate of growth in such deposits, however, is not expected to accelerate from the pace of recent months despite recent declines in market interest rates, as banks appear to be in process of lowering offering rates on certain time certificates. (9) Basically, credit demands over the next few weeks and into early 1977 are likely to be generally moderate and will probably have little net impact on the current level of market rates. Market participants, however, remain quite sensitive to possible monetary actions. For example, with the 3-month bill rate about 35 basis points below the funds rate and dealer holdings of securities large, it appears that the market is expecting a lower funds rate. Thus, if the funds rate does not decline further, there could be a technical re-adjustment in rate structure. On Bill rates could rise somewhat. the other hand, the primary mortgage rate is likely to decline over the next few weeks--even assuming no change in the funds rate--in lagged response to earlier declines in market rates. (10) As time goes on, and the pace of economic activity picks up, private credit demands are likely to strengthen. Treasury borrowing needs in the first quarter will be substantial and perhaps more than the market is currently anticipating. Against this back- ground, we would expect interest rates to begin rising by spring of next year if growth in M1 is kept to around the mid-point of the -74½-6½ per cent range adopted by the FOMC for the QIII '76-QIII '77 period. If growth in GNP during the first three quarters of 1977 is at about the 11 per cent annual rate projected by the staff on the assumption that taxes are cut, we would anticipate that the funds rate may rise to an average of around 6 per cent in the third quarter of next year, as shown in appendix table II. On the other hand, if there were no additional fiscal stimulus, we would expect a smaller rise in interest rates from current levels--perhaps an increase in the funds rate to 5¼ per cent or so by the third quarter. This would of course,mainly reflect the weaker expansion in nominal GNP and transactions demand for money. (11) Alternative A involves an easing of the money market between now and the next Committee meeting, with the funds rate dropping to the mid-point of a 3¾-4½ per cent range. Further declines in market rates are likely to be generated, though such declines will be limited if incoming economic evidence continues to suggest a more vigorous economy and therefore leads market participants to believe that interest rates may soon rise. Banks, in such circumstances, may seek to issue money market CD's more aggressively--particularly longer maturities--in an effort to lock in favorable yields. And corporate and municipal borrowers may continue to accelerate marketings of new bond issues. (12) An easing of the money market would generate only slightly more growth in M1 and M2 over the December-January period than under alternative B. However, the lower level of market rates will, with a lag, tend to strengthen the demand for money further. Thus, M1 growth over the longer-run would likely be higher than the mid-point of the Committee's one-year range. As a result, to contain growth within desired bounds interest rates under this alternative may have to rise to somewhat higher levels than under alternative B and the rise may begin sooner. (13) Alternative C contemplates a tightening in the money market over the next few weeks, with the funds rate rising to around 5-1/8 per cent. A substantial upward re-adjustment of market rates would be likely to follow, since most market participants appear to have adjusted their current positions to expectations that the funds rate will either decline or remain about unchanged over the near-term. The 3-month bill rate, for example, might move up to the area of 5-5¼ per cent. After the initial reaction, however, further rate increases might be quite limited. Some rate increases, particularly in longer- term markets, could be partly reversed as the funds rate tended to level off at the new higher level. The staff would expect that little further increase in the funds rate would, in practice, be required to achieve the FOMC's longer-run monetary growth rates. Proposed directive (14) Given below is a proposed operational paragraph for the directive if the Committee wishes to continue formulating its instructions in terms of desired growth in monetary aggregates over the months ahead. No alternatives are presented for this formulation, in the expectation that the reference to desired growth will be taken to apply to the longer-term targets and that at this meeting the Committee will not reconsider those targets. "Monetary Aggregates" Proposal To implement this policy, while taking account of developments in domestic and international financial markets, the Committee seeks to achieve bank reserve and money market conditions consistent with moderate growth in monetary aggregates over the period ahead. (15) Should the Committee desire to place main emphasis on bank reserve and money market conditions, the language needed would depend on the specific conditions sought. Three alternative "money market" directives intended to correspond to the similarly lettered policy alternatives are given below.

This developed as the Desk provided the reserves required to support unexpected increases in negotiable CD's and interbank deposits. Total reserves and the monetary base were also higher than expected. But the monetary base was somewhat nearer the targeted level, as currency expanded less than expected. 1/ Includes week of December 22, which is partly estimated. Appendix Table I Reserve Measures Consistent With Short-run Alternatives (seasonally adjusted) Alt.
