My saga with the Press Offices of the New York Fed, the Federal Reserve in Washington DC, and the U.S. Treasury / Exchange Stabilization Fund continues.

For the first parts of the “Exercise In Futility (Thank You for Contacting the New York Fed)“, see this link, please:
On January 4, 2012, as part of the 7th part of the “Exercise In Futility,“ I sent the following message to the press offices of the New York Fed, the Federal Reserve in Washington DC, and the U.S. Treasury / Exchange Stabilization Fund:
Happy New Year, Ladies and Gentlemen!
Here follows Part 7 of „An Exercise In Futility.“ I bet it will be followed by the running gag of the story:

Lars Schall: An exercise in futility — Thank you for contacting the New York Fed
Tuesday, January 3, 2012
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
The German journalist Lars Schall tonight recounts his recent futile efforts to get the central banking and treasury agencies of the U.S. government to answer questions about their likely involvement with the gold reserves of Germany and about their involvement in the gold market generally. If only mainstream financial journalists had the same interest in the issue and the stamina to challenge the unaccountability. In any case Schall’s efforts add to the evidence that the U.S. government and the German government have many gold secrets. Schall’s commentary is headlined „An Exercise in Futility: Thank You for Contacting the New York Fed“ and it’s posted at his Internet site here:
CHRIS POWELL, Secretary/Treasurer
Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.
Kind regards,
Lars Schall.
A few minutes later I received this message from New York City that said what I had anticipated:
Thank you for contacting the New York Fed. We will respond to your e-mail as soon as possible. For more information, please visit our website at http://www.newyorkfed.org./
In response to your message:

Part 8 of the exercise:
Today, on January 31, 2012, I sent this e-mail to the same people:
Re: German gold reserves at the NY Fed / in the USA
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
on December 30, 2011 I wrote to you:
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
at the end of the year, everyone is doing New Year resolutions. One of mine is that you’ll get in 2012 at the last day of every single month the same old question from me.
Today we have the last day of January, so here it is:
Does the United States of America and/or the US Treasury/ESF, N.Y. Fed, the Federal Reserve System have any kind of swap arrangement with the Deutsche Bundesbank and/or the Federal Republic of Germany related to that part of the national German gold reserve that is held at the N.Y. Fed / within the United States?
Furthermore, I have interviewed at the end of last week the gold mining entrepreneur, precious metals trader, and host of JSMineSet.com, Jim Sinclair. Mr. Sinclair said that the NY Fed has no legal basis on which it could refuse a request from the Federal Republic of Germany / the Deutsche Bundesbank to relocate its gold from the New York Fed to Frankfurt into its own vaults, if such a request would occur.
Do you at the New York Fed agree on this? Or could there be some insurmountable problems involved here in case you would have indeed a swap arrangement with the Deutsche Bundesbank and/or the Federal Republic of Germany related to that part of the national German gold reserve that is held at the N.Y. Fed / within the United States?
Kind regards,
Lars Schall.
A few minutes later I received this message from New York City, of course:
