T he Secretary o f the Treasury, by this public notice, invites tenders for $1,300,000,000, or thereabouts, of 91-day Treas­
ury bills, for cash and in exchange for Treasury bills maturing M ay 8, 1952, in the amount o f $1,302,174,000, to be issued on
a discount basis under competitive and non-com petitive bidding as hereinafter provided. T h e bills o f this series will be dated
M ay 8, 1952, and will mature August 7, 1952, when the face amount will be payable without interest. T h ey will be issued
in bearer form only, and in denominations of $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $100,000, $500,000, and $1,000,000 (maturity value).
Tenders will be received at Federal Reserve Banks and Branches up to the closing hour, tw o o ’clock p.m., Eastern
Daylight Saving time, M onday, M ay 5, 1952. Tenders w ill not be received at the Treasury Department, W ashington. Each
tender must be for an even multiple of $1,000, and in the case of competitive tenders the price offered must be expressed on
the basis of 100, with not more than three decimals, e.g., 99.925. Fractions may not be used. It is urged that tenders be
made on the printed form s and forwarded in the special envelopes which w ill be supplied by Federal Reserve Banks or
Branches on application therefor.
Others than banking institutions w ill not be permitted to submit tenders except for their own account. Tenders w ill be
received without deposit from incorporated banks and trust companies and from responsible and recognized dealers in invest­
ment securities. Tenders from others must be accompanied by payment of 2 percent o f the face amount o f Treasury bills
applied for, unless the tenders are accompanied by an express guaranty o f payment by an incorporated bank or trust company.
Imm ediately after the closing hour, tenders will be opened at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, follow ing which
public announcement will be made by the Secretary o f the Treasury o f the amount and price range of accepted bids. Those
submitting tenders will be advised of the acceptance or rejection thereof. The Secretary of the Treasury expressly reserves
the right to accept or reject any or all tenders, in whole or in part, and his action in any such respect shall be final. Subject
to these reservations, non-competitive tenders for $200,000 or less without stated price from any one bidder will be accepted
in full at the average price (in three decim als) o f accepted competitive bids. Settlement for accepted tenders in accordance
with the bids must be made or completed at the Federal Reserve Bank on M ay 8, 1952, in cash or other immediately avail­
able funds or in a like face amount o f Treasury bills maturing M ay 8, 1952. Cash and exchange tenders will receive equal
treatment. Cash adjustments will be made for differences between the par value o f maturing bills accepted in exchange and
the issue price o f the new bills.
Th e incom e derived from Treasury bills, whether interest or gain from the sale or other disposition o f the bills, shall not
have any exemption, as such, and loss from the sale or other disposition o f Treasury bills shall not have any special treat­
ment, as such, under the Internal Revenue Code, or laws amendatory or supplementary thereto. T he bills shall be subject
to estate, inheritance, gift, or other excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but shall be exempt from all taxation now or here­
after im posed on the principal or interest thereof by any State, or any o f the possessions of the United States, or by any local
taxing authority. F or purposes o f taxation the amount o f discount at which Treasury bills are originally sold by the United
States shall be considered to be interest. U nder Sections 42 and 11 7(a )(1) o f the Internal Revenue Code, as amended by
Section 115 o f the Revenue A ct o f 1941, the am ount o f discount at which bills issued hereunder are sold shall not be considered
to accrue until such bills shall be sold, redeemed or otherwise disposed of, and such bills are excluded from consideration as
capital assets. A ccordingly, the owner o f Treasury bills (other than life insurance companies) issued hereunder need in­
clude in his incom e tax return only the difference between the price paid for such bills, whether on original issue or on sub­
sequent purchase, and the amount actually received either upon sale or redemption at maturity during the taxable year for
which the return is made, as ordinary gain or loss.
Treasury Department Circular No. 418, as amended, and this notice, prescribe the terms o f the Treasury bills and govern
the conditions o f their issue. Copies o f the circular may be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch.

This Bank will receive tenders up to 2 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Monday, May 5, 1952, at the Secu­
rities Department of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch. Please use the form on the reverse side of this circular to
submit a tender, and return it in an envelope marked “Tender for Treasury Bills.” Payment f o r the Treasury bills cannot
be made by credit through the Treasury T ax and Loan Account. Settlement must be made in cash or other immediately
available funds or in maturing Treasury bills.
