Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
With repeated telephone calls and e-mails, for three weeks your secretary/treasurer has been trying to get the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to answer two simple questions about its gold responsibilities -- questions the New York Fed has answered for others in years past -- but has been unable to get any form of acknowledgment.
Would you be kind enough to help?

Bullion Star Opens in the U.S., Selling and Vaulting Gold and Silver
Bullion Star is now open in the United States, offering gold and silver bullion at extremely competitive prices with free delivery. Bullion Star also offers customers a year of free vault storage along with free delivery as well as storage in its secure precious metals vault in Dallas, Texas.
Storing precious metals is challenging. Homeowner's insurance seldom covers precious metals, and safe deposit boxes offered by banks are neither insured nor covered by the government deposit insurance. Bullion Star's vault is an independently run, Class III UL-rated vault with uncompromising surveillance and round-the-clock security.
With Bullion Star you can transact and store your metals securely and confidentially. Your bullion is fully insured against all risks at full replacement value. Bullion Star uses five audit methods to verify the existence and correctness of your stored bullion.

Here are the questions.
1) Does the New York Fed's statement of November 9 asserting that the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury Department did not intervene in the foreign exchange markets during the July-September 2023 quarter --
https://www.newyorkfed.org/newsevents/news/markets/2023/20231109
-- cover the gold market as well?
2) Has the New York Fed repatriated any gold to foreign nations this year? If so, how much and to which countries, and how much was repatriated in each month?
Answers to these questions might illuminate how the gold market is being directly if surreptitiously influenced by central banks quite apart from any announced purchases of gold for reserves.
You can help in two ways.
First, try putting the questions directly to the publicists for the New York Fed as your secretary/treasurer has been doing. A list of the New York Fed's publicists with their telephone numbers and e-mail addresses can be found at the bank's internet site here --
https://www.newyorkfed.org/press
-- when you click on the "Media Contacts" line in the middle of the right column. If you have time, try both a telephone call and an e-mail.
Second, call or write to your members of Congress and ask them to get the answers for you from the New York Fed.
Contact information for U.S. representatives is available here:
https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative
Contact information for U.S. senators is available here:
https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm
And of course if you get any response, please let your secretary/treasurer know.
Your secretary/treasurer will bring these questions to the attention of a large number of reporters for mainstream news organizations and some financial letter writers, just in case any are ever allowed or inclined to put critical questions to central banks, the institutions that determine the value of all capital, labor, goods, and services in the world but seldom are asked to answer for what they do.
