Prices in 1971 ALTHOUGH THE RECOVERY in economic activity had been moderate, price increases continued at a high rate this year prior to the announcement of the President's wage and price stabilization program. Rising costs were a major source of inflationary pressure, as wage increases continued to outstrip gains in productivity. Moreover, inflationary expectations were affecting both wage negotiations and price decisions. Nevertheless, after the very high rates of price advance around the end of last year, the rate of increase had moderated in several sectors. Under Phase I of the stabilization program prices were frozen for the period mid-August through mid-November. The freeze was very inclusive, and it dramatically reduced the rate at which prices were increasing. Wholesale prices, which had been rising rapidly this year, declined slightly between mid-August and mid- November, and the rate of rise in consumer prices slowed notably in September and October. Before Phase I ended on November 13 the President had established a Price Commission—with seven public members—and a Pay Board—with five representatives each from labor, management, and the public—to devise and administer programs to continue the stabilization effort after the freeze. On November 11, the Price Commission announced the over-all target of Phase II to be "holding average price increases throughout the economy to a rate of no more than 2.5 per cent per year." This objective was based on the Pay Board's goal of reducing the rate of increase in wages to 5.5 per cent per year and on an assumption that productivity would rise at the rate of about 3 per cent.

958 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • DECEMBER 1971 Thus far the Pay Board has been concerned mainly with wage increases called for by contracts ratified before Phase II began. The most important of these was the contract between the coal producers and the United Mine Workers, which called for a substantial first-year increase of 16 per cent in wages and benefits. This increase was authorized by the Pay Board because the wage agreement pre-dated the announcement of the Pay Board's guidelines. However, the Board now has pending some difficult decisions concerning more recent contracts that stipulate wage raises larger than 5.5 per cent. For example, a settlement in the aerospace industry involves a wage boost of about 12 per cent in the first year. Some deferred increases, particularly in the construction industry, are also larger than the guideline amount. The guidelines for pricing issued by the Price Commission generally allow cost increases to be passed on. However, it is stipulated that costs must include allowance for productivity increases and that profit margins should be no higher than in the base period—the average of two of the last three fiscal years. Total profits are free to rise within this constraint in response to an increase in volume of output or sales. Only about 1,500 of the largest firms—those with annual revenues of $100 million or more—are required to notify, and obtain the approval of, the Price Commission before raising prices. Smaller firms are free to raise prices within the guidelines although mediumsize firms must file quarterly reports on profits, costs, and prices. In the case of wholesalers and retailers average mark-ups must be no larger than in the base period, and retailers are required to post freeze-period prices. By mid-December applications for increases had been filed by more than half of the large firms required to give pre-notification of a price rise, and the Price Commission has made a number of important determinations affecting farm machinery, automobiles and trucks, tin-plate, other steel products, coal, and chemicals. Priority has been given to firms with increases in labor costs resulting from contracts signed before the end of the freeze. For these firms the Commission has attempted to render decisions within 72 hours, but the need for additional cost, profit, or price data has delayed some decisions. Implementation of the increases granted is being delayed in some cases until the applications of competing firms have been acted upon. Moreover, the smallest increase on a given product granted to any major firm within an industry may determine the market price. According to announcements made before the freeze, automobile Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

PRICES IN 1971 959 producers had tentatively planned to raise prices on 1972 models this fall by 4 to 5 per cent, largely owing to last December's wage boost of more than 6 per cent for auto workers. However, the Phase II price rise may average not much more than 2.5 per cent. Although two major producers have been authorized to put larger increases into effect, competition is likely to restrict the rise to the smallest figure authorized. The recent repeal of the manufacturers excise tax, retroactive to August, will more than offset the retail price increases associated with manufacturers' higher prices. Following a 3-year wage settlement on August 1, steel producers raised prices of some products and announced that further increases averaging about 8 per cent on the remaining ones would take place later. Although these increases were forestalled by the freeze, the Price Commission recently awarded a major producer a price rise—on all products—that averaged 3.6 per cent. The producer subsequently announced an increase of about 7.7 per cent on tin mill products and sheet and strip—products that account for close to half of its output. Similar increases are being extended to other producers, and prices may be raised further next August. In awarding price increases to coal producers, the Commission required the companies to absorb the difference between a 5.5 per cent wage increase—plus a payment into the United Mine Workers' welfare fund of 4 per cent—and the 16 per cent increase in wages for mine workers that had been approved by the Pay Board. The Price Commission stated that in the future it will generally require firms to absorb labor cost increases in excess of the target of 5.5 per cent. The administration expected that during the early stages of Phase II both wage and price increases would average higher than the longer-term goals. The price increases allowed by 137 decisions handed down by mid-December, when weighted by sales, have averaged about 3 per cent. However, the proportion of total sales represented by these decisions is too small to evaluate the effect on the over-all rate of price change. Moreover, some of the approved increases may not be put into effect. THE ECONOMIC Although the economy has been recovering since the trough of SETTING the recession in November 1970, real growth has remained slower than usual for a recovery period. True, the upturn in the first quarter of 1971 was brisk, but this reflected in large part the resumption of full-scale auto production following a major strike in the fall of 1970. The gain in real gross national product moderated during the second quarter despite a high rate of inventory building of Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

In the third quarter growth in RATIO SCALE, 1967=100 real GNP slowed further, reflecting in part a sharp decline in steel production as efforts were made to reduce inventories following a labor agreement reached in August without a strike. Before the freeze, gains in employment had been modest and average hours of work had changed little. Nevertheless, disposable income had risen as money wages and social security benefits increased and per capita real income, which had failed to improve in 1970, began to move up. After the new economic program— including the proposed elimination of the 7 per cent excise tax on autos—was announced in mid-August, there was a sharp rise Constant dollars = 1958 prices.

Nevertheless, capacity utilization in manufacturing remained relatively low and in November the unemployment rate for the civilian labor force was still 6 per cent. Collective bargaining settlements before the freeze had provided for wage increases that were roughly comparable in size with those in 1970. In the manufacturing, transportation, and construction industries a number of long-term contracts had expired, and in many instances large first-year wage increases had been granted, in part to compensate workers for price increases in the previous 2 years. Hourly earnings in most organized sectors rose even faster than during the comparable period in 1970. But in the less wellorganized sectors, such as trade and services, gains were somewhat slower. On balance, employee compensation, which includes fringe benefits as well as wages and salaries, rose a little faster in the first half of 1971 than in 1970. However, the rise in output per manhour in the private nonfarm economy, although modest for a recovery year, was much larger than in 1969 and 1970. As a result, the increase in unit labor costs was substantially reduced.

PRICES IN 1971 961 The slower rise in labor costs and a higher volume of output have contributed to a moderate rebound in profits this year. In the first three quarters profits before taxes, including the inventory valuation adjustment, were 8 per cent above the same period in 1970, and the rise would have been larger except that the figures reflect a liberalization of accounting rules regarding depreciation allowances. Nevertheless, profit margins improved very little over 1970 and remained depressed compared with the first half of the 1960's and with 1968, the last full year before the economic slowdown. Less than 11 per cent of the value of output of nonfinancial corporations flowed to profits, including inventory valuation, in both 1970 and the pre-freeze period of 1971, compared with about 15 per cent in the early 1960's and 1968. The drop reflects to some extent an increase in labor's share of the value of output, but the proportion absorbed by taxes, interest, and capital consumption allowances has increased more.

THE PROFILE In the first quarter of 1971, prices in the private economy—as OF THE INFLATION measured by a fixed-weight index of price changes in the gross private product—rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.5 per cent, a peak somewhat above that in the final quarter of 1970 and considerably above that in the preceding quarters of that year. The increase in the second quarter of 1971 was only moderately lower, but in the third quarter the rate of rise dropped to 4.1 per cent—the smallest quarterly increase since mid-1968. The high rate of price increase early this year and the reduction in the rate in the third quarter may be traced in large part to prices of farm products, which rose in the first half of this year Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

(Similarly, the rising phase of the farm price cycle had increased the rate of inflation in mid-1969, which rate had crested just below that in the first quarter of 1971.) By contrast, declines in prices of farm products offset some of the rise in nonfarm prices in the final quarter of 1970 when such prices rose at accelerated rates. A spurt in prices of durable goods in that quarter reflected in part a large price increase for new-model automobiles. This surge in automobile prices—which reflected a catch-up on cost increases over the preceding year as well as the post-strike wage settlement—carried over into retail prices in the first quarter of 1971. But in the second and third quarters of 1971 prices of both consumer and producer durable goods rose more slowly, and the rise in costs of services was less rapid. These improvements were partially offset by sharp increases in food prices in the second quarter, but in the third quarter crop prices fell sharply in response to prospects of a bumper harvest, and food costs increased only a little. A somewhat different picture of price trends this year is indicated by the implicit deflator for the gross private product, the slackening in which reflects only in part price trends. The deflator has currentvalue weights, and hence is much affected by changes in the composition of output in the private sector. These have moved in a direction that reduces the apparent rapidity of price changes since the final quarter of last year. By contrast, the fixed-weight index for the gross private product reflects more nearly developments in prices alone. Before the freeze it appeared likely that price increases among commodities that normally post most or all of their annual changes late in the year would cause prices to accelerate in the fourth quarter. These commodities include apparel, automobiles and trucks, and some types of machinery.

WHOLESALE PRICES Prices at wholesale rose at much faster rates in the first half of 1971 than they had during the previous year. While the acceleration reflected in part rising prices of farm products and foods, which had declined appreciably in 1970, prices of industrial commodities also accelerated. In the third quarter of 1971 farm prices turned down, but industrial price increases remained large through mid- August. In fact, in the 6 months ending in August, a resumption of a fast gain in prices of materials caused seasonally adjusted industrial prices to accelerate to an annual rate of almost 6 per cent, exceeding the rise for any other 6-month period since early 1956. The freeze covered most of the commodities included in the wholesale index. However, prices of imported commodities were free to change in response to world market conditions—although cost increases arising from higher import prices could not be passed on to prices of fabricated products. Most imported commodities were subject to the surcharge—a maximum of 10 per cent on the import price—which could be passed on to processors or consumers cent for cent. In addition, raw agricultural products, including eggs and raw fruits and vegetables, were exempted from control. Finally, producers of commodities that had a higher price on May 25, 1970, had the option of using this as a maximum price FOOD PRICES have fluctuated widely this year RATIO SCALE, 1967= 100 120 110 105 1969 1971 Dept. of Labor data for retail and wholesale prices; latest figures: retail October, wholesale November.

964 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • DECEMBER 1971 rather than the price prevailing in the 30 days immediately prior to the freeze. Thus, even during the freeze there was room for price fluctuation. During the freeze period from mid-August to mid-November, there was a slight decline in wholesale prices. Prices of farm and food products fell about seasonally, and industrial commodity prices declined about 0.2 per cent without seasonal adjustment and 0.3 per cent when so adjusted. The freeze prevented many prices from rising and was largely responsible for the drop in industrial prices. Nevertheless, the failure of demand for industrial products to improve substantially this fall was also quite important. Nonferrous metals, the most important group of commodities free to move up on the basis of the alternative pricing date, continued to decline. In addition, there were declines between August and November in a number of products that had previously been rising. For example, there was a drop in prices of machinery and equipment in September—the first since June 1967—and a further decline in November. Lumber and plywood prices, after rising for 8 months, dropped between September and November. Prices of domestic automobiles, though subject to the freeze, rose in October—apparently reflecting smaller rebates to dealers on the 1972 models than had been allowed on 1971 models—and prices of imported cars also increased. However, passenger car and truck prices dropped on a seasonally adjusted basis over the period September to November. It may be noted that, even during inflationary periods, a large number of commodity groups decline in price each month. For example, in the first half of this year, about one-half of 231 product classes regularly tabulated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics rose in a typical month but at the same time almost 20 per cent declined. In the last 3 months, the number of increases was cut by more than one-half; but in addition the number of declines was unusually large. Developments in industrial prices. The decline in domestic business activity and an easing in the supply-demand situation abroad slowed the rise in prices of materials appreciably in the second half of 1970 and during the early months of this year. However, there was a resurgence of price increases prior to the freeze. Among durable materials, prices of steel mill products were raised several times as inventories were built up. Prices of lumber and plywood and other construction materials, which had changed little in 1970, increased rapidly early in the year in response to an acceleration in homebuilding.

The cost of coal and electric power, which had added so much to the inflation last year, continued to rise in 1971, but prices of important petroleum products have declined. Sensitive industrial materials and nonferrous metals prices fluctuated at reduced levels. The accelerated pace of the advance in prices of materials was not reflected in prices of finished goods prior to the freeze; in fact, for both producer and consumer nonfood finished goods the rise in wholesale prices moderated. But this slowing reflected in part customary marketing patterns. The rise in prices of finished goods in recent years has tended to be concentrated in the final quarter of the year; in 1970 more than half of the total rise in prices of finished durable goods occurred in the fourth quarter. Fuels and power. Following last year's sharp climb, prices of fuels and power rose at a rate of about 3 per cent this year before the freeze. For electric power, prices increased at a rate of about 9 per cent, and prices of coal rose 6 per cent to a level more than 80 per cent above that in 1967. On the other hand, prices of petroleum products, including gasoline and fuel oils, have declined over the year. Prices of heavy fuel oils weakened more than seasonally at midyear, reflecting reduced prices abroad and a cut in tanker rates; a further decline has occurred this fall.

Cotton textile prices increased substantially this year before the freeze, after several years of relative stability. Cotton stocks have been reduced by several poor crops, forcing prices up in the spring. Increases for synthetic fiber textiles reversed a generally declining trend since mid-1969. Prices of wool products, on the other hand, have continued to decline this year as production of fiber has continued high and demands have been reduced. Apparel prices increased less this year than in 1970 or in the preceding 2 years. Construction materials. One of the sectors with especially sharp increases in prices this year has been construction. Rising prices of materials were responsible only in part; major settlements in the first 6 months of 1971 resulted in wage rate increases averaging 13.5 per cent. The Construction Industry Stabilization Board, which began its operations in May, was able to reduce the size of wage settlements somewhat, but wages in this industry continued to gain at a faster pace than in the rest of the economy. The rise in housing starts from 1.4 million units in 1970 to around 2 million this year was the major cause of the turnaround in prices of materials. Prices of construction materials rose about 9 per cent through November, in contrast to only a slight increase in 1970. Lumber and plywood prices, which had dropped in both 1969 and 1970, rose sharply. In November 1971, despite some recent declines these prices were more than 20 per cent above a year earlier and about one-third above their level in 1967. 4 | MOST PRICES rose sharply before the freeze RATIO SCALE, 1967=100 1969 1971 1969 1971 1969 1971 Dept. of Labor data; latest figures, November.

PRICES IN 1971 967 Metals and metal products. Prices of metals and metal products increased at a much faster rate prior to the freeze than in 1970. This was the result almost entirely of sharp increases for a broad range of steel mill and fabricated products, since prices of nonferrous metals—which had declined earlier this year—had by August recovered to a level only slightly above that of December 1970. In 1970, boosts in prices of steel products had averaged about 6 per cent, but through August of this year increases were close to 10 per cent. In August following a wage settlement, major steel companies announced that price increases averaging about 8 per cent would become effective in the second half of this year. The first step of the increase, involving about one-half of all steel products, took place in early August, but the second step, scheduled for October 1, was forestalled by the wage-price freeze. However, late in the year major producers announced price increases of 7 to 8 per cent on products not increased since August. Prices of nonferrous metals have fluctuated around a declining trend this year. Continuing the downward course of the latter part of 1970, domestically produced copper declined in price early in 1971 but rose again in March, in large part as a result of rising housing starts and inventory building in anticipation of a strike. Prices of imported copper ingots, which also declined through most of 1970 and into 1971, strengthened prior to the wage contract settlement, but have since softened, forcing major U.S. producers to cut prices. List prices of aluminum ingots have remained unchanged this year, but large discounts have been reported. Only lead and zinc prices are higher now than they were in late 1970. Developments in farm and food prices. Wholesale prices of farm products began to rise again in the first half of 1971, with livestock, meats, and fresh produce leading the way. Livestock prices had fallen sharply in the fall of 1970 in response to a large increase in hog marketings. At the same time that pork supplies were increasing (and prices declining) last year, however, grain prices were beginning a sharp uptrend, as supplies were cut by a poor corn crop. Prices of beef recovered in the first half of this year, but depressed hog prices coupled with the high level of feed prices lessened returns to producers, who therefore cut production of hogs for marketing this fall and winter to levels below those of a year earlier. The resulting reduction in pork supplies, in conjunc- Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

Declines in other important commodity prices since midyear have reduced prices of farm products about seasonally. Owing to good growing conditions, blight-resistant seed, and increased acreage, the corn crop reached record levels this year. Prices of feed crops have dropped since June, and prices of eggs and of fresh produce were also lower in November. Wholesale prices of food products for consumer use dipped much less sharply than prices at the farm level in the fall of 1970, and this year they have risen appreciably. In November, average prices of consumer foods were up about 3.3 per cent from a year earlier. Meats and produce increased the most, but prices of almost all major commodities except eggs were higher. CONSUMER PRICES This year the consumer price index (CPI) has been rising somewhat more slowly than in 1969 and 1970. However, the slackening of the rise—as well as the large variation among quarters this year—is attributable mainly to changes in mortgage costs related to homeownership and in food prices. Apart from these, the rise in consumer prices moderated little until the third quarter of this year. CONSUMER PRICE INDEX CHAN6E FROM PREVIOUS PERIOD, >ER CENT Mortgage costs, which depend on both the level of mortgage 8 interest rates and the costs of new and used homes, leveled off in 1970 and declined in the early months of this year. Had it not been for this reversal, it is estimated that the CPI would have continued to increase in the first half of this year at about the same annual rate—about 5 per cent—as in the second half of 1970. The slower rate of increase in the index in the third quarter reflected in large part a leveling in food costs, as well as the freeze in September. In the first half of this year, despite offsetting movements, there was a slowing of the rise in prices of nonfood commodities. Gasoline Dept. of Labor seasonally adjusted data; latest figures, Q3. prices declined markedly, but in August these regained a level above that in January. In addition, the rise in prices of apparel, houses, and household durable goods moderated over that in 1970. On the other hand, after an extraordinary increase last fall and winter, new-car prices rose further on a seasonally adjusted basis in the prefreeze period. Prices of used cars fluctuated widely, but in September, both new and used cars were about 6 per cent above levels a year earlier. After rising at the rate of about 7 per cent annually in the latter half of 1970, the increase in service costs slowed abruptly in the first quarter of this year to a rate of about 3 per cent.

Apparel, new cars, and household durables seasonally adjusted. these rates are reflected in the CPI; except for this, the cost of services accelerated in the first quarter. But in the second and third quarters, the advance in services slackened—with reduced increases for such important components as rent, household utilities, medical care, and public transportation. In addition to prices of raw foods and imported commodities, the freeze exempted from control certain items—for instance, mortgage interest rates and certain taxes—that affect mainly the service component of the CPI. The August CPI was relatively unaffected by the freeze, since many of the prices had been collected —and others may have increased—before August 15. Even in September and October, the effect of the freeze on the CPI was limited in large part because some price changes are recorded in the index with a lag. Prices of foods are collected monthly in all cities. In the five largest Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas, prices of most nonfood items and services are also collected monthly; in smaller cities, however, the prices of these items are collected in three sets of sample cities. Each sample set is priced every 3 months. A few items—such as rents, property taxes, and college tuition—are priced even less frequently. Therefore, the September index reflects in part price changes since June, and the October index includes changes since July. Despite the fact that a significant part of the price rise following the freeze may have reflected increases that occurred before the freeze, the advance in the seasonally adjusted CPI slowed sharply in September and October. In September a sharp decline in exempted food items reduced the over-all advance. Even aside from this drop, Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

The ceiling on new-car prices, which prevented a substantial rise, was especially important in the reduced rate of over-all price increase, particularly on a seasonally adjusted basis. Prices of new cars usually are raised in October, reflecting smaller concessions by dealers on new-model cars as compared with the models of the preceding year, and in recent years, increases in manufacturers' list prices. As a result of the stabilization program, retail prices for 1972 models dropped on a seasonally adjusted basis. The repeal of the auto excise tax, retroactive to August, will reduce retail prices of new cars by about 5 per cent. The levels of the CPI for August and subsequent months will be reduced to reflect rebates to consumers. The most important commodity price rise in the 2 months following the freeze was the greater-than-seasonal advance in apparel with the introduction of the new fall lines. Services rose less rapidly in September than in the third quarter—despite a sharp increase in college tuition—and slackened somewhat further in October. But in the main the October slackening reflected a technical downward adjustment affecting the cost of medical services over the preceding year.

Record of Policy Actions of the Federal Open Market Committee Records of policy actions taken by the Federal Open Market Committee at each meeting, in the form in which they will appear in the Board's Annual Report, are released approximately 90 days following the date of the meeting and are subsequently published in the Federal Reserve BULLETIN. The record for each meeting includes the votes on the policy decisions made at the meeting as well as a resume of the basis for the decisions. The summary descriptions of economic and financial conditions are based on the information that was available to the Committee at the time of the meeting, rather than on data as they may have been revised since then. Policy directives of the Federal Open Market Committee are issued to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York—the Bank selected by the Committee to execute transactions for the System Open Market Account. Records of policy actions have been published regularly in the BULLETIN beginning with the July 1967 issue, and such records have continued to be published in the Board's Annual Reports. The records for the meetings held in 1971 through July 27 were published in the BULLETINS for April, pages 320-27; May, pages 391-98; June, pages 503-11; July, pages 599-606; August, pages 663-71; September, pages 715-22; October, pages 820-27; and November, pages 925-30.

990 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • DECEMBER 1971 MEETING HELD ON AUGUST 24, 1971 1. Authority to effect transactions in System Account. Real output of goods and services, which had increased at an annual rate of 4 per cent in the second quarter, apparently was expanding at a somewhat slower pace in the third quarter, mainly because steel users and producers were working down excess stocks following the August 1 agreement on a new labor contract in the steel industry. Expectations of faster growth in real GNP during the rest of 1971 were enhanced when the President announced a new economic program on August 15. In addition to a number of fiscal proposals, the program included a 90-day freeze on prices and wages, a temporary surcharge of 10 per cent on dutiable imports, and suspension of full convertibility of dollars into gold and other reserve assets for settlement of international transactions. Industrial production dropped in July, reflecting mainly reductions in output of steel and some other industrial materials. Nonfarm payroll employment declined substantially further, and the unemployment rate rose to 5.8 per cent; in June the unemployment rate had fallen 0.6 percentage point to 5.6 per cent, but that decline apparently was attributable in part to technical measurement problems. Retail sales, which had increased considerably in June, declined in July to about the average monthly level in the second quarter. The volume of private housing starts advanced sharply further. The rise in consumer prices slowed in July from the rapid pace of the second quarter, but the increase in wholesale prices of industrial commodities accelerated. Over the 6 months through July wholesale industrial prices had risen more than in any comparable period since 1956. Major labor contract settlements of recent months continued to provide for large increases in wage rates. According to a tentative staff reappraisal of the outlook for the rest of 1971 in light of the new economic program, growth in real GNP would moderate less in the third quarter and speed up considerably more in the fourth quarter than had been anticipated earlier. Also, the rate of advance in prices was now expected to slow significantly. As a consequence of the changed outlook for prices, the projected increases in current-dollar GNP for both quarters had been reduced somewhat. Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

RECORD OF POLICY ACTIONS OF FOMC 991 It now appeared that the real volume of consumer purchases would rise more than had seemed likely earlier, as a result of the stimulus to automobile sales of the proposed elimination—retroactive to August 15—of the Federal excise tax on autos and the more general stimulus provided by improved consumer confidence. It was expected that business inventory investment would decline in the third quarter—not only because stocks of steel would be worked down but also because part of any step-up in final sales probably would be met initially out of inventories—and that such investment would rebound in the fourth quarter. The growth in Federal outlays projected for both quarters had been reduced, reflecting the various economy measures included in the new program and the assumption that the military pay increase, previously assumed to take effect in early October, would be deferred until the beginning of 1972. The projections for other key sectors of activity had been changed relatively little. Thus, it was still anticipated that the rise in residential construction expenditures would slow as the year progressed but would remain sizable, and that State and local government outlays would expand at a substantial rate. Also, the projections continued to suggest little change in capital outlays by business in the third and fourth quarters, on the assumption that the proposed investment tax credit would not significantly increase outlays before 1972. The deficit in the U.S. balance of payments, which had been extremely large in the first and second quarters, increased sharply further after midyear mainly because of an acceleration of capital outflows in anticipation of shifts in exchange rates. In the first half of August the deficit reached massive proportions. Following the mid-August suspension of dollar convertibility, all major European central banks discontinued operations in their foreign exchange markets. These markets were reopened on August 23 under diverse arrangements, including a continuation of floating rates for the German mark and the Dutch guilder; suspension of the upper intervention limit for the British pound; and a dual exchange rate system, separating commercial from other transactions, for the French franc. On the day of this meeting rates of exchange between these currencies and the dollar were all somewhat above the previous upper intervention limits, at least for certain types of transactions. In contrast to the European markets, the Japanese exchange market Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

992 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • DECEMBER 1971 had remained open throughout the period, and the Bank of Japan had purchased a large amount of dollars in preventing the yen from moving above its upper intervention limit. Japanese exchange controls were tightened further during the period. In the Treasury's mid-August refunding, $2.7 billion of the $4.1 billion of maturing securities held by the public were exchanged for the new issues—$251 million for the 10-year bonds and the remainder for the 51-month notes. Cash subscriptions for the bond by individuals, which were permitted in amounts up to $10,000, totaled $192 million. On August 5, to cover the attrition in the refunding and to raise additional cash, the Treasury auctioned $2.5 billion of 18-month, 6V2 per cent notes at an average yield of 6.54 per cent. In July business credit demands at banks and in the commercial paper market remained moderate and the volume of new corporate bond issues declined to the lowest level in 16 months. The volume of corporate bond offerings in prospect for August and September also was appreciably below the monthly average in the first half of the year. Bond flotations by State and local governments, while still large, appeared to be moderating slightly. Despite the easing of such credit demands, interest rates on most types of market securities had remained steady or had increased somewhat further in the interval between the July 27 meeting of the Committee and the President's announcement of the new economic program. Among the contributing factors were the continuation of rapid advances in prices and costs, the further firming of money market conditions that occurred during the period, and the uncertainties generated by developments in international financial markets. Following the announcement of the new economic program, interest rates on long-term market securities declined sharply, reflecting the improved prospects for more effective control of inflation and of the balance of payments problem. For the most part, rate declines on short-term securities were much less pronounced. However, Treasury bill yields—which, in an exception to the general trend, had been moving down earlier as a result of heavy demands from foreign official accounts—fell considerably further. For example, on the day before this meeting the market rate on 3-month bills was 4.75 per cent, 40 basis points lower than on August 13 and 75 basis points lower than on the day before the July 27 meeting.

RECORD OF POLICY ACTIONS OF FOMC 993 Contract interest rates on conventional new-home mortgages and secondary market yields on federally insured mortgages rose somewhat further in July. Inflows of savings funds to nonbank thrift institutions were again large. At commercial banks, inflows of consumer-type time and savings deposits slowed markedly in July. The volume of large-denomination CD's outstanding increased substantially further, however, and growth in total time and savings deposits remained relatively large. Although business loans rose considerably, the expansion was only a little greater than the contraction that had occurred in June and it appeared to reflect irregular and seasonal influences rather than a significant strengthening in underlying demands. Holdings by banks of U.S. Government securities declined sharply, but their holdings of other securities increased substantially. The narrow measure of the money supply (private demand deposits plus currency in circulation, or M ) continued to grow rapidly in July, x at an annual rate only slightly below the 11.5 per cent pace of the second quarter.1 The broader measure of money (Mi plus commercial bank time deposits other than large-denomination CD's, or M ) mod- 2 erated from the 12.5 per cent second-quarter rate as a result of the marked slowing of inflows of consumer-type time and savings deposits. Total bank credit, as measured by the adjusted credit proxy—dailyaverage member bank deposits, adjusted to include funds from nondeposit sources—increased slightly faster than in the second quarter, when it had expanded at a rate of 6.5 per cent. System open market operations in the period immediately following the July 27 meeting had been directed at maintaining prevailing money market conditions, against the background of the Treasury financing then in process. Later, as incoming data indicated that the monetary aggregates—in particular Mi—were continuing to grow at a rapid pace, slightly firmer money market conditions were sought. For the period as a whole the average Federal funds rate was somewhat higher than 5V2 per cent, compared with 5Va per cent in the previous periods between meetings.

994 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • DECEMBER 1971 increased substantially in the preceding period, declined somewhat; in the 4 weeks ending August 18, borrowings averaged $770 million compared with $880 million in the preceding 4 weeks. Staff analysis suggested that the new economic program, along with other forces—including lagged reactions to earlier increases in shortterm interest rates—should tend to produce lower rates of growth in the monetary aggregates over the rest of the year. The new program was expected to reduce transactions demands for money insofar as it led to a smaller rise in prices and thus to slower growth in currentdollar GNP; and to reduce desired money holdings generally insofar as it allayed uncertainties about the economic and financial outlook and moderated expectations of continuing inflation and further firming of money market conditions. It was noted, however, that because of the difficulties of assessing the precise impact of such forces, any projections of the monetary aggregates at this time were subject to larger-than-usual margins of error. According to tentative staff projections, if prevailing money market conditions were maintained growth in M would moderate x somewhat in August and September and would slow substantially further in the fourth quarter. Growth in M , which was projected to 2 remain near the July pace during the rest of the third quarter, appeared likely to moderate less than M in the fourth quarter because x banks were expected to be reasonably successful in competing for consumer-type time and savings deposits. The rate of growth in the bank credit proxy over the latter half of the year was projected to remain somewhat above that of the second quarter, in part because prospects favored some strengthening of the demands for bank credit and, therefore, more aggressive solicitation of funds by banks through sales of large-denomination CD's. It was noted in the Committee's discussion that, while the new economic program had profoundly affected the economic atmosphere and outlook, the ultimate consequences for business activity and prices— and therefore the implications for monetary policy over the longer run—could not yet be assessed with assurance. Accordingly, it was suggested that any marked change in the stance of policy would be premature. Some members placed particular stress on the risk that an overt easing of money market conditions at this time, against the background of the recent rapid growth in M could rekindle inflationary u Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

RECORD OF POLICY ACTIONS OF FOMC 995 expectations and thus nullify the favorable impact that the announcement of the new program had had on confidence. The Committee agreed that open market operations should continue to be directed at achieving growth rates in the monetary aggregates over the months ahead well below the rapid rates recorded in recent months. The following current economic policy directive was issued to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York: The information reviewed at this meeting indicates that real output of goods and services has been expanding moderately, that unemployment has remained substantial, and that prices and wages have been rising rapidly on average in recent months. However, the economic program announced by the President on August 15 enhances prospects for higher rates of growth in real economic activity, increased job opportunities, and curtailed inflationary pressures. In July inflows of consumer-type time and savings funds slowed markedly at banks, but inflows to nonbank thrift institutions continued large. Growth in the narrowly defined money stock remained rapid in July, but growth in broadly defined money slowed and bank credit continued to expand at about the second-quarter pace. Interest rates on most types of market securities declined sharply in the days following the announcement of the new program. The deficit in the U.S. balance of payments reached extraordinarily large proportions in early August, mainly reflecting an acceleration of capital outflows related to expectations of shifts in foreign exchange rates. Following the suspension of convertibility of the dollar into gold and other reserve assets, major European central banks discontinued foreign exchange market operations for a week. When most of the European markets were reopened on August 23 these central banks pursued diverse exchange rate policies, but all allowed at least some types of market transactions to take place at rates of exchange for their currencies relative to the dollar above previous upper intervention limits. In light of the foregoing developments, it is the policy of the Federal Open Market Committee to foster financial conditions consistent with the aims of the new governmental program, including sustainable real economic growth and increased employment, abatement of inflationary pressures, and attainment of reasonable equilibrium in the country's balance of payments. To implement this policy, the Committee seeks to achieve more moderate growth in monetary and credit aggregates over the months Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

Amendment to continuing authority directive. At this meeting the Committee amended paragraph 1(a) of its continuing authority directive to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York with respect to domestic open market operations to authorize outright operations in securities issued by Federal agencies. With this amendment, the first part of the directive read as follows: 1. The Federal Open Market Committee authorizes and directs the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, to the extent necessary to carry out the most recent current economic policy directive adopted at a meeting of the Committee: (a) To buy or sell U.S. Government securities and securities that are direct obligations of, or fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, any agency of the United States in the open market, from or to securities dealers and foreign and international accounts maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, on a cash, regular, or deferred delivery basis, for the System Open Market Account at market prices and, for such Account, to exchange maturing U.S. Government and Federal agency securities with the Treasury or the individual agencies or to allow them to mature without replacement; provided that the aggregate amount of U.S. Government and Federal agency securities held in such Account at the close of business on the day of a meeting of the Committee at which action is taken with respect to a current economic policy directive shall not be increased or decreased by more than $2.0 billion during the period commencing with the opening of business on the day following such meeting and ending with the close of business on the day of the next such meeting.

RECORD OF POLICY ACTIONS OF FOMC 997 This action, which was taken under legislation enacted in September 1966, was for the purpose of widening the base of System open market operations and at the same time adding breadth to the market for agency securities. In November 1966 the Committee had authorized repurchase agreements in agency issues, and on a number of subsequent occasions it had considered the desirability of also authorizing outright transactions. The decision to do so at this time was taken against the background of the substantial growth in the market for agency issues in recent years, and the consequent reduction of the risk that System purchases or sales could dominate the market. The Committee also approved certain initial guidelines for the conduct of open market operations in agency issues, with the understanding that they would be subject to review and revision as experience was gained. These initial guidelines were as follows: 1. System open market operations in Federal agency issues are an integral part of total System open market operations designed to influence bank reserves, money market conditions, and monetary aggregates. 2. System open market operations in Federal agency issues are not designed to support individual sectors of the market or to channel funds into issues of particular agencies. 3. As an initial objective, the System would aim at building up a modest portfolio of agency issues, with the amount and timing dependent on the ability to make net acquisitions without undue market effects. 4. System holdings of maturing agency issues will be allowed to run off at maturity, at least initially. 5.
