SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 11(e) of the Federal Home Loan Bank 
Act (Bank Act) (12 U.S.C.1431(e)) authorizes the Banks (1) to accept 
demand deposits from member institutions, (2) to be drawees of payment 
instruments, (3) to engage in collection and settlement of payment 
instruments drawn on or issued by members and other eligible 
institutions, and (4) to engage in such incidental activities as are 
necessary to the exercise of such authority. Section 11(e)(2)(B) of the 
Bank Act (12 U.S.C. Sec. 1431(e)(2)(B)) requires the Banks to make 
charges for services authorized in that section, which charges are to

Banks which offer item processing services to their members and other 
qualified financial institutions. Most of the remaining Banks provide 
other Correspondence Services which may include securities safekeeping,
