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 this document may contain occasional gaps in the text. These
gaps are the result of a redaction process that removed information obtained on a
confidential basis. 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 optimal 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. Please note that the numbers and text in charts and tables were not
reliably recognized by the OCR process and were not checked or corrected by staff.

SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES
New
Car Sales
Sales of new cars assembled
in
North America
in
the mid-June
ten-day period dropped sharply to a 4.0 million unit annual rate from
the 6.1 million unit rate in the first third of June and the 6.4 million
unit rate in May.
The sales rate for the first two thirds of June, at
5.1 million units a year, was about a fifth below the rate in May and
7 percent below the 5.5 million unit rate in April.
The sharp drop in
sales in the mid-June period probably reflects the impact of the ending
of a number of major purchase-incentive programs that had stimulated
purchases in May--including the termination on June 6 of Ford Motor
Company's cash rebates and extended warranties on several models, the
termination on May 31 of a rebate program on one model by Chrysler Motors
Corporation,and the ending at the end of May of General Motors' reduction of interest rates on credit-financed purchases.
(Although the
latter program ended May 31, the program reportedly was extended for
some purchases that were not completed by the end of the month because
of delivery delays.)
Recent Housing Market Developments
Sales of existing houses in May were at about a 1.91 million
unit annual rate, the same rate as in April.
The April-May rate was
slightly below the 1.92 million rate in the fourth quarter of 1981--the
lowest rate in any quarter since the fourth quarter of 1970.
New mortgage lending commitments at insured savings and loan
associations edged down further in May and were 8-1/2 percent below their
recent peak in February, but still above their depressed level last fall.
-1-
Outstanding commitments (including loans in process) at all operating
S&Ls also edged down further in May and were at their lowest level
since last November.
Federal Government Debt Ceiling
The Senate, following adoption by the Congress of the first concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 1983, passed legislation
to implement the provisions contained in that resolution to increase the
temporary ceiling on debt subject to limit.
The House, under its procedure,
took this action earlier when it passed the budget resolution containing
that provision.
These actions increase the debt ceiling by $63.3 billion
to $1,143 billion through September 30, 1982.
