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.

More recently, growth in M-1 has slowed considerably, but for the July-August period is still estimated at an 11.7 per cent annual rate, roughly 4 percentage points above the upper end of the Committee's range. Mainly reflecting the strength of M-1, growth in M-2 over July and August is now estimated at an 11.7 per cent annual rate, about 1 percentage point above the upper end of its range. Savings account balances increased at a moderate rate in July after having declined somewhat in June, while growth in the time deposit component of M-2 was maintained in July at the strong June pace. Deposit flows into thrift institutions have also been quite strong in recent weeks. Reflecting the rapid growth in demand and time deposits, nonborrowed reserves are expected to expand at about a 9.2 per cent annual rate over July and August. Growth in Monetary Aggregates Over July-August period (SAAR in per cent) Ranges Latest Estimates M-1 3½ to 7½ 11.7 M-2 6½ to 10½ 11.7 Memorandum: Federal funds rate (per cent per annum) Avg. for statement week ending July 20 5.35 27 5.45 Aug. 3 5.80 10 5.70 -2(2) In the last week of July, as incoming data provided confirmation of the unexpectedly strong expansion in the monetary aggregates, the Account Management began raising its Federal funds rate objective from the prevailing level of around 5-3/8 per cent. By the end of the August 3 statement week, the Desk was aiming at a Federal funds rate of 5¾ per cent, the upper limit of the intermeeting range specified in the Committee's directive. On August 4, Chairman Burns recommended raising the upper limit of the range for the funds rate to 6 per cent, in order to provide the Desk with some additional leeway for operations, while continuing to take into account the current Treasury financing and financial market developments. He further recommended that the additional leewaybe used very gradually, and only in the event that the aggregates continued to register values far beyond the Committee's objectives. This recommendation was approved by the Committee. The Account Management continued to aim for a funds rate of around 5¾ per cent until late in the August 10 statement week, but more recently raised the funds rate objective to 6 per cent, since incoming data continued to indicate strong growth of the aggregates. (3) Commercial bank credit expanded at an annual rate of about 9¼ per cent in July. With deposit expansion rapid during the month, banks were able to finance loans and investments while letting outstanding negotiable CD's and nondeposit sources of funds contract. Total loans of banks increased substantially, paced by strong gains in real estate and consumer installment loans. Business loans also posted a further advance during the month, but the increase was significantly below the average monthly gain of the second quarter. (4) Aggregate credit demands have remained relatively strong in recent weeks. Households have apparently continued to raise a sub- stantial volume of funds in the mortgage and consumer credit markets, and the U.S. Treasury has once again been raising sizable amounts of new money, following its second-quarter paydown of debt. Partly offsetting these areas of strength, issuance of long-term bonds by State and local governments has declined more than seasonally from the record June pace. In addition, total business credit demands have moderated, as the slowing in growth of business loans at banks in July was accompanied by a sizable reduction in the commercial paper indebtedness of nonfinancial corporations. Also, while issuance of publicly-offered corporate bonds picked up a bit in July, the volume coming to market in August has declined seasonally. (5) In response to the tightening of the Federal fund rate and the strengthening in the monetary aggregates, short-term interest rates have increased since the July FOMC meeting by around 15 to 45 basis points. Increases in yields on long-term bonds have been decidedly more moderate, with rates on Treasury bonds increasing by around 10 basis points, while yields on corporate and municipal securities have changed little. (6) Since the July meeting, the U.S. Treasury has raised about $1 billion in domestic credit markets through a sale of 2-year notes and another $3 billion in conjunction with its mid-August refunding.1/ In the refunding the Treasury auctioned $3.0 billion of a 3-year note at an average yield of 6.84 per cent, $2.25 billion of a 7-year note at an average yield of 7.26 per cent, and $1.0 billion of a reopened 29 -year bond at an average yield of 7.72 per cent. Dealers have distributed essentially all of the $2.7 billion of issues they were awarded in the auctions, however, and now have deep net short positions in coupon issues with less than 10 years to mature and very modest long positions in issues with over 10 years maturities. (7) The table on the following page shows (in terms of percentage annual rates of change) related monetary and financial flows over various time periods. 1/ In addition, the Treasury obtained $1½ billion of new cash through add-on sales of these issues to foreigners. 1975 & 1976 Average Past Twelve Months July '77 over July '76 Past Six Months July '77 over Jan.

Under alternative B, M-1 is expected to expand in a 2-6 per cent, annual rate, range. Such an expansion would produce an 8¾ per cent annual rate of growth from the second to the third quarter, as compared with a 12 per cent annual rate of growth in nominal GNP projected for that period. (10) Growth in M-2 over the August-September period under alternative B is expected to be in a 4 -8 per cent annual rate range. The time and savings deposit component of M-2 is likely to expand at about an 8¼ per cent annual rate over the period, well below the JuneJuly average.

(11) As of this writing, credit markets probably have not fully adjusted to a 6 per cent Federal funds rate, the current Desk objective. Thus, some further rise in interest rates, particularly short rates, could develop over the next week or so. Assuming the funds rate remains around 6 per cent over the whole intermeeting period, and with the Treasury bill supply expected to be relatively limited over the near-term, the 3-month bill rate may be in the neighborhood of 5-5/8 per cent. The Treasury is not expected to raise new cash through bill offerings until the fourth quarter. (12) Longer-term markets are in a strong technical position. Dealers have a net short position in Treasury coupon issues maturing in more than a year of around $1 billion. And a reduced volume of corporate and municipal bonds is expected to be marketed over the balance of the current quarter, though the volume of municipal securities will probably still be substantial. Thus, relatively little upward adjust- ment in long-term rates may be expected over the next few weeks, assuming a 6 per cent Federal funds rate. (13) The staff expects that the Federal funds rate would have to rise above 6 per cent over the next few months, however, if growth in M-1 were to be held to the mid-point of the 4 to 6½ per cent longer-run range (pertaining to the QII '77-QII '78 period) adopted by the Committee -10at its July meeting. A substantial cut-back in M-1 growth to about a 4 per cent annual rate over the next three quarters would be required. The necessary curtailment in the supply of reserves would probably lead to a Federal funds rate of around 6-7/8 per cent by early next year. This is a higher rate than estimated at the time of the last meeting, and takes account of the apparent strengthening of money demand relative to GNP that has developed in the spring and early summer. (14) As market interest rates rise, inflows of time and savings deposits, other than large CD's, would probably slow down, assuming no adjustment in Regulation Q ceiling rates. With bank credit demands expected to remain generally strong through mid-1978--given the staff's GNP forecast--banks are likely to bid actively for CD's and nondeposit funds. Thrift institutions, too, would probably begin to rely more heavily on borrowed funds, or sales of liquid assets, to meet commitments. These financial adjustments, as they develop, may entail a 3-month bill rate in the 7 per cent area in the first half of 1978, a commercial paper rate in the order of 7¼ per cent, and minor upward adjustments in long-term rates, including a rise in the highgrade corporate bond rate to around 8 per cent and primary mortgage market rates to a little over 9 per cent. (15) Alternative C involves a rise in the Federal funds rate to the mid-point of a 6¼-6¾ per cent range between now and the next Committee meeting. Such an approach would add to restraint on money growth in the weeks ahead--with M-1 expected to expand in a -11And 1½-5½ per cent annual rate range over the August-September period. only a very minor further rise in the funds rate might be required in achieving the Committee's current longer-run ranges for the monetary aggregates. (16) The further rise in the funds rate of ½ percentage point over the next few weeks contemplated under alternative C would likely lead to increases of comparable magnitude in short-term rates generally. Upward rate pressures would probably also be communicated to the intermediate-term market, where the Treasury is expected to raise $2-$3 billion of new cash through routine offerings of 2- and 4-year notes during the next few weeks, though they may be moderate in view of the market's strong technical position. Longer-term rates, too, might increase somewhat, but any such increases might not be long sustained if the market came to believe that the process of tightening was near an end or that the process would work to restrain inflation. (17) The easing in the money market envisioned under alternative A may stimulate rather substantial downward adjustments over the short-run in intermediate- and longer-term interest rates, particularly in the Treasury securities market where dealers may be expected to make efforts to cover short positions. The staff would not expect that downward rate movements could be sustained, however. Given the projected strength in nominal GNP and money demand between now and mid-1978, interest rates would probably once again begin rising by early fall--with the funds rate under this alternative peaking at around 7¼ per cent in the second quarter of 1978. -12Directive language (18) Given below are alternatives for the operational paragraphs of the directive. The first formulation, like the directive adopted at the last meeting, places main emphasis on near-term rates of growth in monetary aggregates; it shows--in strike-through form--the specifications adopted at the last meeting. on money market conditions. The second formulation places main emphasis As suggested below, the particular language needed in the opening lines of the money market formulation would depend on the specific conditions sought; the three alternatives shown--calling, respectively, for somewhat easier, prevailing, and somewhat firmer money market conditions--are intended to be associated with the specifications discussed in the preceding section under alternatives A, B, and C. "Monetary Aggregates" Formulation The Committee seeks to encourage near-term rates of growth in M-1 and M-2 on a path believed to be reasonably consistent with the longer-run ranges for monetary aggregates cited in paragraph. Specifically, at present, it the preceding expects the annual growth rates over the [DEL: July-August] AUGUST-SEPTEMBER period to be within the ranges of [DEL: 3-l/2 to 7-1/2] ____ [6-1/2-to-10-1/2] ____ to ____ to ____ per cent for M-1 and per cent for M-2. In the judg- ment of the Committee such growth rates are likely to be associated with a weekly-average Federal funds rate of about [DEL: 5-3/8] ____ per cent. If, giving approximately equal weight to M-1 and M-2, -13- it appears that growth rates over the 2-month period will deviate significantly from the midpoints of the indicated ranges, the operational objective for the Federal funds rate shall be modified in an orderly fashion within a range of [DEL: 5-1/4 to 6] ____ ____ to per cent. If it appears during the period before the next meeting that the operating constraints specified above are proving to be significantly inconsistent, the Manager is promptly to notify the Chairman who will then decide whether the situation calls for supplementary instructions from the Committee. "Money Market" Formulation At this time, the Committee seeks to maintain about the prevailing money market conditions (or to achieve somewhat easier or somewhat firmer money market conditions) during the period immediately ahead, provided that monetary aggregates appear to be growing at approximately the rates currently expected, which are believed to be on a path reasonably consistent with the longer-run ranges for mone- tary aggregates cited in the preceding paragraph. Specifically, the Committee seeks to maintain the weekly-average Federal funds rate at about ____ per cent, so long as M-1 and M-2 appear to be grow- ing over the August-September period at annual rates within ranges of ____ to ____ per cent and ____ to ____ per cent, respectively. If, giving approximately equal weight to M-1 and M-2, it appears that growth rates over the 2-month period are approaching or moving beyond -14the limits of the indicated ranges, the operational objective for the weekly-average Federal funds rate shall be modified in an orderly fashion within a range of ____to ____ per cent. If it appears during the period before the next meeting that the operating constraints specified above are proving to be significantly inconsistent, the Manager is promptly to notify the Chairman who will then decide whether the situation calls for supplementary instructions from the Committee. Appendix I Projected Federal Funds Rate 1977 1978 Alt.

These rates are well above the growth rates for the second half of 1977 shown in the table above that are thought to be consistent with the alternatives presented to the Committee. Thus, a considerable slowing in growth of reserves will be needed over the months ahead. Appendix III Implied Velocity Growth Rates .l (GNP/MI) 1977 1978 Alt. A Alt. B Alt.
