Well I'd me more surprised if they DID know. That would suggest the list never changes. At least they want to help you out as to who owns it. I still don't see what the significance is as to whom owns one or more of the FRBs'. Have you ever gone to a shareholders meeting with a public company?

THC, You are the first person I have ever had contact with to actually verify the secrecy that the FED cloaks itself in. Good luck with your effort. PK

The Fed regional bank's shareholders or member banks are apparently national or state banks, trust companies and like organizations. They hold shares in proportion to their own capitalization. I presume that some may be private, others public but that all carry out financial business other than their participation in the regional Fed bank. At a minimum, wouldn't this raise general questions regarding confidentiality and conflict of interest? Ptask PS: And have you run across any statement regarding the degree of limitation of foreign ownership of the member banks themselves?

I have here two letters from Senator Wayne Allard (R- CO). "February 25, 1999 Dear Richard: Thank you for writing me a detailed letter voicing your concerns about the Federal Reserve and the gold market. I am forwarding a copy of your letter to the Federal Reserve, and I am requesting that they forward a copy of their response to my office. ..." February 25,1999 Alan Greenspan Chair, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System Room B2046 20th and C Streets NW Washington, DC 20551 Dear Chairman Greenspan: Enclosed you will find an E-Mail from Richard Harmon, a Colorado constituent. Mr. Haarmon has raised some concerns about the gold market and the Federal Reserve's position relative to that market, that I believe warrant a response. I appreciate your attention to Mr. Harmon's letter. Please reply directly to him and forward a copy of your response to my office. Sincerely, Wayne Allard United States Senator" Far from prompt, still investigating, to good to answer questions from "the little people"? You All decide! rh
