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.

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.

Recent developments (1)
M-1 increased at a 5.1 per cent annual rate in July and
appears to be expanding over the July-August period at an annual rate of about 6 per cent, the mid-point of the Committee's range.
M-2
expansion during July and August is projected to average almost 9 per cent at an annual rate, in the upper half of the Committee's range. Large-denomination time deposits included in M-2 have increased sharply in recent weeks, while growth in small-denomination time deposits slowed and savings deposits declined somewhat.
At nonbank thrift
institutions, deposit inflows strengthened further in July.
Although
sales of the new money market certificates picked up in July at both banks and thrifts, only the latter appear to be gaining substantial net new money through the instrument. Growth in Monetary Aggregates over July-August Period Ranges

Since the July FOMC meeting Federal funds have traded
to 8 per cent range, while projected growth in the mone-
within a 7
tary aggregates over the July-August period has also remained well within the Committee's ranges.
Although the funds rate was slightly
higher during the inter-meeting period than in preceding weeks, shortand long-term market interest rates declined by as much as 20 and 30 basis points since the July FOMC meeting.
The fall in rates
developed in response to a shift in expectations, apparently induced by recent moderate growth in the monetary aggregates, failure of the Federal funds rate to move even higher, and signs of slowing in economic expansion.
The rally was encouraged by efforts of Treasury
security dealers and other active trading accounts to cover short positions in coupon issues and to build up larger long positions in bills.
In addition, demand for Treasury bills increased as a result
of substantial foreign central bank investment of dollars obtained in currency exchange support operations.
Most recently, a portion of
the general rate decline has been reversed.
(3) Corporate bond offerings to the public have been relatively light in recent weeks, but issuance of municipal bonds has been exceptionally heavy, partly reflecting a spurt in advance refunding issues in advance of a September 1 change in Treasury regulations.
The Treasury also raised about $5 billion of new money
during the inter-meeting period.
In its quarterly refunding operation,
the Treasury sold $7.7 billion of new debt instruments--including $700 million issued to foreign official accounts on a non-competitive
basis--to roll over $4.4 billion of maturing debt.
Aggressive bidding
by investors and a sizable volume of private non-competitive tenders
left the dealer community with only about 35 per cent of the total awards to the domestic public.
Dealers have thus far distributed about two-
thirds of their awards.
(4) The improved deposit flows to thrift institutions and reduction in market interest rates have reduced the pressure on mortgage rates.
While mortgage indebtedness apparently has continued to expand
at about the stronger second-quarter pace, average rates on new home loan commitments at S&L's have edged up only slightly in recent weeks. Moreover, fewer institutions have been reporting that lendable funds are in substantially short supply. (5) Growth in commercial bank credit rebounded in July, reflecting a very strong advance in total loans and a substantial rise in total investments.
Real estate and consumer loans continued to
rise at relatively strong rates.
Growth in business loans also picked
up from June's reduced pace, but remained below that recorded on average over the first half of the year.
To help finance bank credit
expansion, banks issued sizable amounts of negotiable CD's and other large time deposits. (6) The table on the next page shows percentage annual rates of changes in related monetary and financial flows over various time periods.

(8) Alternative A contemplates continuation of a Federal funds rate around the mid-point of the existing 7¾ to 8 per cent range. Under the circumstances, M-1 growth over the August-September period is expected to accelerate into a 5½ to 9½ per cent, annual rate, range--bringing the level of M-1 by September a shade above that implied by the upper bound of the Committee's newly adopted longerrun range, as may be seen from chart 1 on the following page. M-1 growth in June and July may have been held down by an unusually rapid run-up in U.S. Government deposits, and such deposits are projected to decline in September.
Moreover, transactions demands
for cash are likely to be fairly strong in the third quarter as a whole, when nominal GNP is projected to rise at about an 11 per cent annual rate.
The projected M-1 increase for August and September would
lead to an expansion in the third quarter at about a 6¼ per cent annual rate, and would imply a rise in velocity of 4¼ per cent at an annual rate
(see Appendix II).

QIV '78-QII Annual: QII '78-QII
(9) M-2 in the August-September period under alternative A is expected to grow in a 7 to 11 per cent annual rate range.
The
interest-bearing component of M-2 may expand at about a 10 per cent annual rate over the period.
This represents a slight
slowing from
the July rate of growth, but is more rapid than in the first half of the year.
With inflows of deposits subject to ceiling rates remaining
sluggish, banks are expected to sell substantial amounts of large time deposits--both non-negotiable and negotiable--to finance continued relatively strong credit demands. (10)
Inflows of interest-bearing deposits to thrift institu-
tions are projected to slow over the weeks ahead from the rapid July pace.
The impact of the initial shifting of funds from outstanding
financial assets to the 6-month money market certificate, which has been aggressively marketed by thrift institutions, may soon run its course.
Even so, as with the interest-bearing component of M-2,
thrift deposits are expected to grow somewhat more rapidly than in the first half of the year. (11)
Under alternative A, the recent upward readjustment
of market rates, following the unexpectedly sharp decline of recent weeks, may continue, with rates returning closer to their mid-July
levels.
Basically, however, demands on credit markets are not expected
to strengthen significantly over the period.
Corporate bond offerings
are likely to remain near their recent reduced pace, municipal volume
should drop off, and Treasury credit demands are not expected to pick up until later in the fall.
In short-term markets, the 3-month
Treasury bill rate is still quite low relative to the Federal funds rate--a spread of about one percentage point--and the bill rate should rise more than other short rates unless there is a substantial volume of foreign central bank purchases. (12)
If the funds rate were to move up to the mid-point of
the 7¾ to 8½ per cent alternative B range, the upward adjustment in market rates would likely be prompt and marked.
The 3-month bill
rate should move toward 7¼ per cent, and pressures on the CD and commercial paper rates should generate a further rise in the prime loan rate.
The rise of interest rates on Treasury coupon issues
would probably reverse all of the recent decline in such yields, and perhaps go somewhat further.
And corporate bond yields may
also rise fairly substantially given the prevailing narrow rate spread between Treasury and corporate issues. (13)
Growth in M-1 and M-2 under alternative B may be
in ranges of 5 to 9 and 6½ to 10½ per cent, respectively.
It is
expected that continued issuance of the 6-month money market certificate by banks and thrift institutions will tend to moderate adverse impacts of rising interest rates on inflows of small-denomination time and savings deposits; the beneficial effect is likely to be most marked at thrift institutions, if recent experience is any guide.
Neverthe-
less, the rising marginal cost of time and savings deposits, if not an actual slowing of deposit inflows, is likely to exert additional upward pressure on primary mortgage interest rates.
-10(14)
The staff still expects that interest rates between
now and mid-1979 will have to rise beyond those contemplated under the short-run specifications for alternative B--given projections for GNP growth--if M-1 growth over the one-year QII '78 to QII '79 period is to be around the upper limit1/ of the 4 to 6 cent range adopted for that aggregate.

Federal funds rate projections
through the second quarter of next year are shown in appendix I.

-11Directive language (15)
Given below are suggested operational paragraphs for
the directive.
The language of alternative A is consistent with the Like
specifications of alternative A discussed in the preceding section. the directive adopted at the last meeting, it places main emphasis on
money market conditions and calls for operations directed at maintaining the weekly-average Federal funds rate within the range of 7-3/4 to 8 per cent. (16)
The language of alternative B is consistent with the
specifications of the tightening alternative discussed in the preceding section; it calls for operations directed initially at attaining a weekly-average Federal funds rate slightly or somewhat above the current level.
This formulation also provides variants that enable
the Committee to place main emphasis either on money market conditions or on monetary aggregates.
In the short run, the Committee seeks to achieve bank reserve and money market conditions that are broadly consistent with the longer-run ranges for monetary aggregates cited above, while giving due regard to developing conditions in financial markets more generally.

ing, System open market operations shall be directed

30 NOTE: Government security dealer trading positions are on a commitment basis. Trading positions, which exclude Treasury securities financed by repurchase agreements maturing in 16 days or more, are indicators of dealer holdings available for sale over the near-term. Underwriting syndicate positions consist of issues still in syndicate, excluding trading positions. The basic reserve deficit is excess reserves less borrowing at Federal Reserve less net Federal funds purchases. Weekly data are daily averages for statement weeks, except for corporate and municipal issues in syndicate which are Friday figures. * **
Strictly confidential. Monthly averages for excess reserves and borrowings are weighted averages of statement week figures.
