On September 16, 2008, the Federal Reserve announced that it would extend credit to the American International
Group (AIG) under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act.  This secured lending will assist
AIG in meeting its obligations as they come due and facilitate a process under which AIG will sell certain of
its businesses in an orderly manner, with the least possible disruption to the overall economy.  The Board�s 
H.4.1 statistical release, �Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition
Statement of Federal Reserve Banks� will report this lending in �Other credit extensions� in table 1 and in
�Other loans� in table 3, table 4, and table 5.
