Federal Reserve Board (1932), ”Review of the Month: The Glass–Steagall bill”, Federal Reserve Bulletin 73 (3): 141–142 and 180–181, http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/publication-issue/?id=3530, läst 16 mars 2012. Each form of special lending to Federal Reserve member banks required approval from at least five members of the Federal Reserve Board. Group lending could be made to fewer than five (but not fewer than two) member banks if the borrowing banks had deposit liabilities equal to at least 10% of the deposits liabilities of member banks in their Federal Reserve district. The special lending to individual member banks could be made only in “exceptional and exigent circumstances.” Both forms of lending were based on the borrowing member banks not having sufficient "eligible assets" to borrow on normal terms.
