Immediately after the closing hour, tenders will be opened at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, follow ing which
public announcement w ill be made by the Treasury Department o f the amount and price range o f accepted bids. Those
submitting tenders will be advised o f the acceptance or rejection thereof. T h e Secretary o f 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-com petitive tenders for $200,000 or less without stated price from any one bidder w ill 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 com pleted at the Federal Reserve Bank on August 20, 1953, in cash or other immediately avail­

States shall be considered to be interest. Under 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 amount 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 ow ner o f Treasury bills (other than life insurance com panies) issued hereunder need in­
clude in his income 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.
