It is urged that tenders be made on the printed form s and forw arded in the special envelopes which will be supplied by Federal Reserve Banks o r Branches on application therefor. O thers than banking institutions will not be permitted to submit tenders except fo r their own account. Tenders will be received without deposit from incorporated banks and trust companies and from responsible and recognized dealers in in vestment securities. Tenders from others must be accompanied by payment o f 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. Immediately after the closing hour, tenders w ill be opened at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, follow in g which public announcement w ill be made by the Treasury Department o f the amount and price range o f accepted bids. Those sub mitting tenders will be advised o f the acceptance or rejection thereof.

Subject to these reservations, noncompetitive tenders f o r $200,000 or less for the additional bills dated M ay 14, 1959, (91 days remain ing until maturity date on November 12, 1959) and noncom petitive tenders fo r $100,000 or less f o r the 182-day bills without stated price from any one bidder will be accepted in fu ll at the average price (in three decim als) o f accepted competitive bids for the respective issues.

Cash and exchange tenders will receive equal treatment. Cash adjustments w ill be made fo r differences between the par value o f maturing bills accepted in exchange and the issue price o f the new bills. T he income derived from Treasury bills, whether interest o r gain from the sale or other disposition o f the bills, does not have any exemption, as such, and loss fro m the sale or other disposition o f Treasury bills does not have any special treat ment, as such, under the Internal Revenue Code o f 1954. The bills are subject to estate, inheritance, g ift or other excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but are exempt from all taxa tion now or hereafter imposed on the principal or interest thereof by any State, or any o f the possessions o f the United States, or by any local taxing authority. F o r purposes o f taxa tion the amount o f discount at which Treasury bills are originally sold by the United States is considered to be interest. U nder Sections 4 5 4 (b ) and 1221(5) o f the Internal Revenue Code o f 1954 the amount o f discount at which bills issued hereunder are sold is not considered to accrue until such bills are sold, redeemed or otherwise disposed o f, and such bills are excluded from consideration as capital assets. Accordingly, the owner o f Treasury bills (other than life insurance com panies) issued hereunder need include in his income tax return only the difference between the price paid fo r such bills, whether on original issue o r on subsequent purchase, and the amount actually received either upon sale or redemption at maturity during the taxable year fo r which the return is made, as ordinary gain or loss.
