[Section 26 authorized
the secretary of the Treasury to maintain parity of all forms of money
and to strengthen the gold reserve by borrowing gold on security of
United States bonds or by issuing gold notes for one year. The authority
to issue the bonds was repealed by section 10 of the act of March
18, 1968 (82 Stat. 51); therefore, in the recodification of title
31 (act of Sept. 13, 1982, 96 Stat. 877), section 26 of the Federal
Reserve Act, which had been partly incorporated in 31 USC 409, was
deleted as obsolete.]
