Enclosed with this circular is a Treasury pamphlet, Debt Management and Advance
Refunding, which contains a general discussion of the advance refunding technique, with more
detailed analyses of particular aspects.
Also enclosed are copies of the following subscription forms for the three issues of bonds
being offered: Form A for the Treasury Bonds of 1980; Form B -l for the additional Treasury
Bonds of 1990 (together with Form B-2 if Treasury Bonds of 1963-68 accompany the sub­
scription) ; and Form C-l for the Treasury Bonds of 1998 (together with Form C-2 if
Treasury Bonds of June or December 1964-69 accompany the subscription).
Subscriptions for the Treasury Bonds of 1980 will be allotted in full. Subscriptions for
the additional Treasury Bonds of 1990 or the Treasury Bonds of 1998 may be subject to
partial allotment, and a 10 percent deposit is required from all subscribers except those speci­
fied as exempt in the official offering circulars.



Banking institutions subscribing for the additional Treasury Bonds of 1990 or the
Treasury Bonds of 1998 for account of customers are urged to retain the required deposits
o f their customers until after allotment of the bonds; the risk and expense involved in for­
warding them to this Bank will thus be avoided.
I f subscribers required to make deposits do not have the denominations to meet exactly
the minimum deposit requirement, they are urged to leave any excess on deposit to avoid
denominational exchanges and unnecessary movement of securities.
Banking institutions are urged to enter subscriptions for their own account and for account
of their customers with the Federal Reserve Bank or Branch in the District in which they
are located. However, where their 2Vz percent bonds are held with correspondent banks in
other Districts and it is desired to enter subscriptions through such correspondents, sub­
scribing banks are requested to list separately by name the subscriptions for their own account
and for each of their customers.
Subscriptions will be received by this Bank as fiscal agent of the United States, and should
be mailed immediately. Cash subscriptions will not be received. I f filed by telegram or letter,
the subscriptions should be confirmed immediately by mail on the forms provided. The sub­
scription books will remain open for nine days, Septem ber 12 through 20. Any subscription
addressed to a Federal Reserve Bank or Branch or to the Treasury Department and placed
in the mail before midnight Tuesday, September 20, will be considered timely.
Additional copies of this circular and the enclosed pamphlet and subscription forms will
be furnished upon request.

IM M EDIATE RELEASE,
Friday, September 9, 1960

ADVANCE REFUNDING OFFER
The U. S. Treasury offers to the holders o f four issues o f outstanding 2 % % Treasury Bonds which were
issued during the war-loan drives in 1942 and 1943, and which mature from June 15, 1967, through
December 15, 1969, three issues o f 3 ^ % long-term bonds (including additional 3y2% bonds due Febru­
ary 15, 1990; originally issued on February 14, 1958) in exchange, on mutually advantageous terms to
the holder and the Treasury.
Advance refunding is an important technique in the marketing of U. S. Government securities
involving the following significant advantages :1
The investor gains an immediate increase in interest return, in consideration of his acceptance of a
longer-term security; avoids any immediate book loss for tax purposes and, if nontaxable, in most instances
is not required to take a book loss; acquires a security whose market yield is at least equal to, and in most
cases slightly higher than, that on outstanding issues of comparable maturity, and earns a rate of return
over the life o f the new security only equalled, if he does not exchange, by reinvesting at maturity of the
old security at higher than present market yields.
The economy benefits because a minimum of new long-term investment funds are absorbed; the
adverse market impact o f debt extension is lessened; the functioning of the market is improved; and poten­
tial inflationary pressures are reduced.
The U. S. Treasury achieves substantial improvement in the present unbalanced maturity structure of
the public debt; reduces its dependence on inflationary bank borrowing; retains its customers for long­
term securities; and holds down its long-run cost of managing the public debt.

1 A detailed discussion, o f the principles and objectives o f advance refunding is available in the pam phlet Debt M anage­
m ent and A dvan ce R efun ding, which m ay be obtained on request to any Federal Reserve Bank or the U . S. Treasury
Department, W ashington 25, D. C.

A ll subscriptions to exchange 2V2% bonds of 1962-67 for 3V2% bonds of 1980 will be allotted

is placing an outside limit o f $4.5 billion, or thereabouts, on the combined amounts of 3y2%
bonds o f 1990 and 3y2% bonds o f 1998 to be issued to the public. In the event the outside limit
is exceeded, subscriptions will be subject to allotment on the same basis for both issues. In addi­
tion, exchange subscriptions not to exceed $550,000,000, in the aggregate, from Government Invest­
ment Accounts to these two issues will be allotted in full.
5. Books open for subscriptions for the new bonds:
Books will be open for subscriptions from September 12 through September 20, 1960. Subscrip­
tions accompanied by eligible 2,y2% bonds and placed in the mail by midnight September 20,
1960, addressed to Treasurer, U. S., Washington 25, D. C., or any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch

6. Requirements applicable to subscriptions:

Subscriptions will be received at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches and at the Office of
the Treasurer o f the United States, Washington, D. C. Banking institutions generally may sub­
mit subscriptions for account o f customers.
Subscriptions from banking institutions for their own account, Federally insured savings and
loan associations, States, political subdivisions or instrumentalities thereof, public pension and
retirement and other public funds, international organizations in which the United States holds
membership, foreign central banks and foreign States, Federal Reserve Banks, and G-overnment
Investment Accounts will be received without deposit. Subscriptions from all others must be
accompanied by deposit o f eligible bonds in an amount equal to 1 0 % of the bonds applied for.
7. Denominations and other characteristics o f new bonds:
$500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $100,000, and $1,000,000 in coupon and registered forms.
They will be acceptable to secure deposits of public moneys.
8. Nonrecognition o f gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes:

Pursuant to the provisions o f section 1037 ( a ) of the Internal Revenue Code o f 1954 as added by
Public Law 86-346 (approved Sept. 22, 1959) the Secretary of the Treasury has declared that no
gain or loss shall be recognized for Federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of the
eligible 2 ^ % bonds solely for the new 3 ^ % bonds. F or tax purposes, therefore, the investor
will carry the new 3 ^2 % bonds on his books at the same amount as he now is carrying the
eligible 2V2% bonds. Gain or loss, if any, upon the obligations surrendered in exchange will be
taken into account upon the disposition or redemption of the new bonds.
9. Federal estate tax option in new bonds:
The option to redeem the eligible 2 ^ % bonds at par and accrued interest prior to maturity for
the purpose of using the proceeds in payment of Federal estate taxes (if the bonds were owned
by the deceased at the time o f his death) is also applicable to the new 3% % bonds issued in
exchange.
10. Book value of new bonds to banking institutions:
The Comptroller of the Currency, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have indicated to the Treasury their intent to notify
banks under their supervision that they may place the new 3 ^ % bonds received in exchange on
their books at an amount not greater than the amount at which the 2 % % bonds surrendered by
them are carried on their books.
11. Computation of investment return for the extension of maturity:
A holder of the outstanding 2 ^ % bonds has the option of accepting the Treasury’s exchange
offer or of holding the 2 % % bonds to maturity. Consequently, he can compare his return result­
ing from exchanging now with the return that he might obtain by reinvesting the proceeds of the
2 % s at maturity.
The return for making the extension now through exchange will be the coupon rate on the new
issue. I f a nontaxable holder o f the 2 ^ % bonds does not make the exchange, he would receive only
2 ^4 % to their maturity and would have to reinvest at that time at a somewhat higher rate than the
present market rate for a comparable maturity to do as well as he would by accepting the exchange
offer. For example, if the 2 % % bonds of December 15, 1964-69, are exchanged for the new 3 % %
38-year bonds, the rate for the entire 38 years will be 31/£% . I f the exchange is not made, a
2 % % rate will be received until December 1969 requiring reinvestment of the proceeds of the
2V£s at that time at a rate o f at least 4.14% for the remainder of the 38 years, all at compound
interest, to average out to a 3 ^2 % rate for 38 years. This minimum reinvestment rate for the




5

extension period is shown m the table under section 12 and is the investment return for the exten­
sion period if the exchange is made now. The minimum reinvestment rates for the other issues
included in the exchange are also shown in the table under section 12 .

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON ADVANCE REFUNDING OF SEPTEMBER I9601

What is advance refunding?
Advance refunding is a method o f marketing United States Government securities whereby the holder
o f an outstanding bond is offered the option to exchange for a new, longer bond with a higher coupon
interest rate, some years in advance o f the maturity date on the old bond.
Who can participate in this advance refunding?

All individuals and institutions who hold $500 or more of the eligible 2 y2 percent bonds of 1962-67,
1963-68, or 1964-69 have an equal opportunity to exchange into the new 3 y2 percent bonds.
How does an investor gain from advance refunding?
(a) He receives a higher current interest return, in consideration of his acceptance of a longer-term
security.
(b ) He acquires a security whose market yield is at least equal to, and in most instances slightly
higher than, the yield on outstanding issues o f comparable maturity.
(c) He earns a rate o f return over the life of the new security only equaled, if he does not exchange,
by reinvesting at maturity o f the old security at market rates higher than currently prevail.
(d ) He avoids an immediate book loss for tax purposes, and if non taxable is not required in most
instances to take a book loss.
Why does the Treasury want to offer an advance refunding?
(a) To achieve a better balanced maturity structure of the public debt, through a significant amount
o f debt extension.
(b) To retain its customers for long-term securities.
(c) To reduce its dependence on inflationary borrowing from commercial banks.
(d ) To reduce the size and frequency of Treasury refunding operations.
(e) To attain these objectives at lower costs relative to alternative methods of financing.
How does advance refunding help the economy?
(a) It minimizes the adverse market impact of debt extension such as occurs in the case of comparable
cash offerings.
(b ) It avoids the absorption of new long-term funds in cash offerings and consequently does not
interfere with the flow o f new savings into the private sector of the economy.

A detailed discussion o f the principles and objectives o f advance refunding is available in the pam phlet, D ebt M anage­

Why is the Treasury undertaking advance refunding now?

an d in w h ich th e cost o f the exten sion to the T re a su ry does n o t exceed the sta tu tory in terest rate
lim itation o f 4^4 percen t. B o th o f these con d ition s n ow exist.

How does this financing differ from earlier advance refunding?
T his is the T r e a s u r y ’s first attem pt to en courage in vestors in in term ediate term m arketable b on d s to

Doesn’t this advance refunding increase the cost to the Treasury of servicing the debt?

new issues represents in creased cost to the T re a s u ry in the ea rly yea rs. T h is is offset b y rates o f

o f the in ta n g ib le benefits th a t accru e to the T re a su ry a n d the econ om y as a w hole, an d w hich in d ollar
term s ca n n ot be evaluated.

Since the greatest congestion of maturities of the marketable public debt is in the area between one
and five years, why doesn’t the Treasury give priority to an advance refunding from that area into the
intermediate area (5 to 10 years) ?
W h ile it is tru e that th e lon g -ru n o b je ctiv e o f a d v a n ce r e fu n d in g is to relieve con g estion in the 1- to
5-y ea r area, the T rea su ry believes th is can best be accom plish ed in phases, w ith “ s e n io r ” advance
re fu n d in g com in g first, fo llo w e d at som e fu tu re tim e b y “ ju n io r ” advance re fu n d in g .
T h ere are tw o reasons fo r this ap p roach . F irst, T rea su ry ow n ersh ip studies in d ica te that long-term
investors have been liq u id a tin g their h old in gs o f the 2 % p ercen t bon d s issued d u rin g W o r ld W a r II.

If advance refunding is desirable, why limit the amount of exchanges?

DEBT MANAGEMENT AND ADVANCE REFUNDING
I. Summary

A d v a n ce re fu n d in g offers significan t advan ­
tages to th e econ om y, to lon g -term investors,
and to the U .S . T reasury.

D e b t m anagem ent is an im portan t lin k in
the v ita l ch ain o f F ed era l financial responsi­
b ility . T h e ob jectives o f debt m anagem ent are
t h r e e fo ld : t o con trib u te to an o rd erly g ro w th
o f the econ om y w ith ou t inflation, to m inim ize
b o rro w in g costs, and to achieve a balan ced m a­
tu rity structure o f the p u b lic debt. T h e latter
has been the m ost pressin g p rob lem co n fro n t­
in g the T reasu ry as there lias been a relentless
increase in the sh ort-term debt. R ela ted to
this, th e T reasu ry has fo u n d it in creasin gly
difficult to retain as custom ers lon g -term inves­
tors in T reasu ry bonds (pa rs. 1 t o 1 6 ).1
A d v a n ce refu n d in g makes possible sign ifi­
can t p rogress tow a rd the tw in goa ls o f a better
m a tu rity structure and ow n ersh ip distribution
o f the p u b lic debt. In essence, it involves
o ffe rin g all in d ivid u al and oth er h old ers o f an
e x istin g U .S . G overn m en t security selected f o r
advan ce re fu n d in g the op p o rtu n ity to ex­
ch an ge it, som e years in advance o f m atu rity,
f o r a new security on term s m u tu ally advan ­
tageou s to the h olders and to the T reasu ry
(p a r. 1 7 ).
B r o a d ly speaking, tw o typ es o f advance re­
fu n d in g m ay be d istin g u ish ed : ( a ) “ senior”
a dvan ce refu n d in g , in w h ich h old ers o f securi­
ties o f interm ediate m atu rity (5 t o 12 years)
w o u ld be offered the o p p o rtu n ity to exchange
in to lon g -term issues (15 t o 40 y e a r s ), and (b )
“ ju n io r ” advance refu n d in g , in w h ich h old ers
o f securities o f sh orter m atu rity (1 to 5 years)
w ou ld be offered the op p o rtu n ity to exchange
in to securities in the interm ediate ra n ge (5 to
10 y e a r s ). T h e tw o typ es o f op eration s are re­
lated and k eyed to the d iffe rin g investor needs
and dem ands in term s o f investm ents o f v a ry ­
in g m a tu rity (pa rs. 18 and 1 9 ).
P r io r experien ce w ith advance re fu n d in g in
th is cou n try— such as the op era tion s in 1951-52
and in Ju n e 1960— has been lim ited. T h ese o p ­
eration s were n o t d irectly analogou s to a senior
advance re fu n d in g in w h ich investors in m e­
d iu m -term m arketable bon d s w ou ld be p er­
m itted t o exchange f o r lon g -term m arketable
securities (pa rs. 2 0 t o 2 7 ).

A n im p orta n t im pedim ent to the earlier use
o f advance re fu n d in g was the ta x treatm ent o f
the exchanges. T h is ob stru ction was rem edied

A n o th e r im p orta n t obstacle to advance re­
fu n d in g has been the 4*4 percent statutory in ­
terest rate lim itation . A lth o u g h this lim itation
still exists, recent declines in interest rates now
p e rm it advan ce re fu n d in g o f selected issues
(pa rs. 44 to 5 0 ).
A d v a n ce re fu n d in g , th erefore, offers m uch

(p a r. 5 1 ).

II. Debt M anagem ent and Advance
Refunding
1 .
T h e a b ility o f the A m erica n econ om y to
sustain o rd e rly g ro w th w ith ou t inflation, to gen ­
erate increased em ploym ent, to p ro v id e suffi­
cien t real ca p ita l to finance expansion, and to
fu n ctio n as a sou rce o f strength f o r the entire




free w o rld — a ll o f th is depen ds o n the m ain ­
tenance o f responsible financial p olicies. T h ere
are three m ain lin ks in the ch ain o f F ed era l
financial resp on sibility. D e b t m anagem ent is
o n ly one, bu t an im portan t one, o f these links.
T h e tw o strongest lin ks in the ch ain o f financial
resp on sibility are a sound fiscal p o licy — in terms
o f the relation sh ip betw een revenues and ex­
penditures— and an independen t and responsi­
ble m onetary p o licy . W ith o u t strength in these
areas there is little th a t d ebt m anagem ent alone
can do. C om bin ed w ith effective fiscal and
m on etary p olicies, h ow ever, a p p ro p ria te debt
m anagem ent can con trib u te su bstantially to ou r
overall financial strength. In a p p ro p ria te debt
m anagem ent in ord in a tely increases the burdens
on fiscal and m on etary p o licy .
A . Th e O bje ctives of D e b t M a n a g e m e n t

2. D e b t m anagem ent p o licy has three m a jo r
objectives.
3. F irst, m anagem ent o f the debt should be
con du cted in such a w a y as to con tribu te to an
o rd erly grow th , w ith ou t inflation, o f the econ ­
om y. T h is m eans that, except in p e rio d s o f re­
cession, as m u ch o f the d ebt as is practicable
sh ou ld be p laced outside o f the com m ercial
banks (a p a rt fr o m tem p ora ry bank u n derw rit­
in g ) . R estrain t must be exercised in th e am ount
o f lon g -term securities issued, p articu la rly in a
recession p eriod , in o rd e r n ot to preem p t an
undue am ount o f the new savings needed to
su p p ort an exp an sion o f the econ om y. A re­
lated aim sh ou ld be to m in im ize, as fa r as p os­
sible, th e freq u en cy o f T reasu ry trip s to the
m arket so as to in te rfe re as little as possible
w ith necessary F ed era l R eserve action s and also
w ith corp ora te, m u n icip a l and m ortga ge
financing.
4. A second im portan t ob je ctiv e o f T reasu ry
debt m anagem ent is the achievem ent o f a b al­
anced m a tu rity structure o f the debt, one that
is ta ilored to th e needs o f ou r econ om y f o r a
sizeable volu m e o f sh ort-term instrum ents but
also includes a reasonable am ount o f inter­
m ediate and lon g -term securities. T h e re must
be con tin u ou s efforts to issue lon g -term secu­
rities to offset the erosion o f m a tu rity caused by
the lapse o f tim e, w h ich oth erw ise results in an
excessively la rg e volu m e o f h ig h ly liquid
short-term debt.
5. A th ird o b je ctiv e o f debt m anagem ent
relates to b o rro w in g costs.
W h ile p rim a ry
w eigh t m ust be given to the tw o ob je ctiv e s ju st
noted, th e T reasu ry , lik e an y oth er borrow er,

3
sh ou ld try to b orrow as ch ea ply as possible.
U n lik e oth er borrow ers, h ow ever, the T reasu ry
m ust con sider the im pa ct o f its action s on finan­
cia l m arkets and the econ om y as a w hole. C o n ­
sequently, the aim o f k eep in g b o rro w in g costs
at a m inim um m ust be balanced again st broa der
con sideration s o f the p u b lic interest.
6 . T h ese several ob jectives are n o t easily
recon cila ble at a ll tim es; n or can a p r io r ity be
assigned to one 0 1 * another o f them un der all
circum stances.
7. T h e re is some m erit, f o r exam ple, in the
v iew that T reasu ry debt m anagem ent p o licy
sh ou ld take account o f cy clica l considerations—
p ressin g lon g -term securities on the m arket to
absorb investm ent fu n d s w hen the econ om y is
e x p a n d in g and, conversely, issuin g short-term
securities a ttractive to banks so as to increase
liq u id ity in a p eriod o f recession. Y e t in p ra c­
tice it has p rov ed both im p racticab le and un­
desirable to adhere strictly to th is view in dis­
reg a rd o f oth er considerations. T h e T rea su ry ’s
first o b lig a tio n is to secure the fu n d s needed
to m eet the G overn m ent’s fiscal requirem ents;
these requirem ents cannot b e p ostp on ed . A
p ressin g need f o r cash m a y fo r c e it to m arket
sh ort-term issues— f o r w h ich there is usually a
substantial dem and— even w hen the econ om y is
e x p a n d in g ra p id ly . T h e constant sh orten in g in
the m a tu rity o f the p u b lic debt m eans, how ever,
that the T reasu ry also m ust take advan tage o f
e very reasonable op p o rtu n ity to issue lo n g ­
term securities despite the cy clica l aspect.
F r o m a p u rely housekeeping stan d p oin t the
T reasu ry needs to d o som e fu n d in g o f sh ort­
term debt into lon g er term securities whenever
m arket con d ition s perm it.
8 . S im ila r difficulties arise w ith respect to f o l ­
lo w in g o n l}’ the ob jective o f k eepin g b o rro w in g
costs as low as possible. A g a in st an y g a in in
term s o f interest cost there must b e w eigh ed the
loss in term s o f econ om ic effects. F o r exam ­
p le, aggressive issuance o f lon g -term securities
in recessions, w hen interest costs are low , w ould
absorb too large a p a rt o f the investm ent fu n d s
needed elsewhere f o r recov ery and cou ld even
p reven t desirable red u ction s in interest rates.
I t w o u ld u n du ly increase the burden on the F e d ­
eral R eserve and necessitate m uch greater
m on etary ease, com p lica tin g the subsequent
p rob lem o f cu rb in g the excesses that m a y de­
v e lo p in a boom .
9. C le a rly , the T reasu ry must fo llo w a m id ­
d le cou rse in attem p tin g to recon cile its various
ob jectives. Its concern w ith the p u b lic interest



requires that m in im u m reliance be p la ced on
sh ort-term fin ancin g d u r in g p eriod s o f exp an ­
sion. S im ila rly , fin ancin g in a recession sh ould
be h an dled so as to m inim ize in terferen ce w ith
n ational efforts to prom ote econ om ic recovery.
A t all tim es, attention sh ou ld be given to the
ob je ctiv e o f b o rro w in g as ch ea p ly as possible
consistent w ith th e oth er ob jectives. F in a lly ,
constant effort must be d irected tow a rd ach iev­
in g a balanced m atu rity stru ctu re o f the debt.
B. Th e P roblem of the Sh o rt-te rm Debt

10. F o r som e tim e, the m ost p ressin g debt
m anagem ent p rob lem fa c in g the T reasu ry has
been th a t o f secu rin g a better m a tu rity structure
o f the p u b lic debt. L on g -term securities, w ith
the passage o f tim e, g r o w con stan tly shorter,
b rin g in g abou t a relentless increase in the sh ort­
term debt. D espite persistent efforts in recent
ears to offer lo n g e r term securities (som e $51
illion m a tu rin g in o v e r 5 years have been sold
since th e b egin n in g o f 1 9 5 3 ), as o f J u n e 30,
1960, alm ost 80 percent o f the m arketable p u b lic
debt o f $184 b illio n m atured w ith in five years,
as contrasted w ith less than 50 percent at the
end o f 1946 and 71 percent in D ecem ber 1953.
M oreover, i f the tota l am ount o f m arketable
debt does n ot change, and no securities o f m ore
than 5 years’ m atu rity are issued, the under-5year debt w ill sw ell to 87 p ercen t o f the total by
the end o f 1964. T h is ob viou sly is a m aturity
structure— b o th present and p rospective—
w hich is fa r to o h eav ily con cen trated in the
u n der-5-year m atu rity area. H ow ev er, the $70
b illio n o f d ebt m a tu rin g w ith in on e y e a r is n ot
a m a jo r p rob lem since the liq u id ity needs o f the
econ om y require a very sh ort-term d ebt o f this
general m a g n itu d e; the real p rob lem is th e ex­
cessive am ount o f securities m a tu rin g between
1 to 5 years. (S e e par. 19, w h ich exp lain s h ow
b oth senior and ju n io r advance re fu n d in g s as­
sist in red u cin g the con cen tration o f m aturities
in th is ran ge.)
11. C h art 1 illustrates the changes in the m a­
tu rity d istrib u tion o f the m arketable p u b lic debt
since 1946. T h e m ost significan t changes, o f
course, are the d eclin e in the 5-year-an d -over
m atu rity ca teg ory fro m $97.5 b illio n in 1946 to
$40.5 b illio n in 1960 and the rise in th e m atu ri­
ties between one and five years fr o m $24.5 b il­
lion to $73 b illion .
12. T h e undue and g r o w in g con cen tration o f
the p u b lic debt in th e u n der-5-year area has im ­
p orta n t im p lication s b oth f o r the m on ey and
capital m arkets and f o r the econ om y as a whole.

19.
T h e relation sh ip betw een these tw o types

o f advance re fu n d in g at certain tim es to im p le­

best the m a jo r p urp ose o f advance re fu n d in g
the use at different tim es o f sen ior and ju n io r
typ e advance re fu n d in g seems desirable. T h e
reasons f o r this rest on the fa ct that securities
in the 1- to 5-year range are not suitable o b li­
gations f o r advance re fu n d in g into long-term
b o n d s; yet it is the rela tiv ely large am ount o f
securities ($73 b illio n ) m a tu rin g in 1 to 5 years
that constitutes the h ard core o f the debt m an­
agem ent p roblem . T h ese securities are n ow
held p rim a rily b y sh ort-term investors, such as
com m ercial banks and business corp ora tion s,
w h ich f o r the m ost p art w ou ld n ot desire to
exch an ge f o r lon g -term issues. C onsequently,
a tw o-phased a p p roa ch , som etim es described as
a “ le a p fr o g ” process, in v o lv in g o v e r tim e both
senior and ju n io r advan ce re fu n d in g , appears
necessary.
(a ) A sen ior advan ce re fu n d in g w ou ld be
undertaken first to sh ift a substantial am ount o f
the 5- to 12-year m aturities in to the lon gerterm area. F o r this p u rp ose the securities most
o fte n r e f erred to as lik ely can didates are the
2 y 2 percent bon d s issued to h elp finance W o r ld
W a r I I . T h ese securities, o fte n referred to as
the “ tap issues,” o rig in a lly to ta lin g $43.6 b il­
lion, are n ow ou tstan d in g m the am ount o f $28
b illio n ; and the T reasu ry’s ow n ersh ip studies
indicate that a substantial p ortion is still in the
p o rtfo lio s o f the o rig in a l lon g -term investors.
C onsequently, no significan t changes in ow n er­
sh ip w ou ld be necessary f o r a successful exten ­
sion. I n fa ct, a m a jo r p u rp ose in an ea rly un­
d erta k in g o f a senior advance re fu n d in g o f some
significan t p art o f these securities w ou ld be to
p reven t the lapse o f tim e fr o m ch a n g in g th eir

$8 b illio n w ere exch an ged b y p riva te investors
and the balance b y the F ed era l R eserve banks

fe ct, then, the T reasu ry d id advance re fu n d this
am ount o f its 1972 m aturities w hen it issued
the 2 % percent Investm ent B bon d s back in
1951.
21. A lth o u g h the m a jor p u rp ose o f the 1951
advance re fu n d in g was n ot to extend debt, it is
significant that alm ost $14 b illio n o f the 1972
m aturities w ere sh ifte d to 1980— an extension
o f 8 years. H ow ever, the p riv ileg e o f con vert­
in g th e new 2 % percent bonds in to 5-year m ar­

since 1951 m ore than h a lf o f the 2 % percent

notes.
22. In M a y 1952 the T reasu ry m ade another

A b o u t $1.3 b illio n was exch an ged. (H o w e v e r,

23. O th er th an as a precedent, th is exp e ri­

tim e th e securities in v o lv e d in the first exchange
were still at 0 1 * slig h tly a bove p a r and were n ot
m uch b elow p a r in the second exchange. T h e
reluctance o f investors t o take ca p ita l losses
was n ot a m aterial con sideration . M oreover,
the new issue w as n onm arketable and co u ld be
liquidated o n ly un der penalty.
24. In the interim p e rio d since 1951 an a d ­
vance re fu n d in g o f the tap 2 ^ s , f o r exam ple,
w ou ld n o t have been p a rticu la rly attractive to

1954 and 1958— th ey w ou ld have h ad to take

T h is again m ade p racticable
(su b ject to the 4 1 4 percent statutory interest

25. O n Ju n e 6, 1960, the T reasu ry D e p a rt­

30. I n an advance re fu n d in g , how ever, this

Advantages of advance refunding to investors

M ost
im p ortan tly, the investor w ou ld obtain a better

T h e investor is guaranteed th e h ig h er cou p on
f o r the entire life o f the new security.
34. I t sh ou ld be n oted that the investor also
obtain s a new b on d that at least is equal to, and
in m ost instances a better value th an, the current

most cases th e T reasu ry w ould l>e o ffe rin g a

3 P aradoxically, this legislation w as designed prima­
rily to induce exchanges by nontaxable or partially
taxable investors, regulated by Federal or State au­
thorities, rather than taxable institutions. These non­
taxable or partially taxable investm ent institutions are
usually quite reluctant to incur book losses because o f
the resulting decrease in the stated value o f their
assets. H ow ever, the regulatory authorities are typ­
ically w illin g to perm it such exchanges w ith postpone­
ment o f recognition o f capital gain or loss 0 11 the in­
vestors’ books, provided th at a change in the Internal
Revenue Code establishes an appropriate precedent.
Thus, w hile the legislation directly affected only
holders subject to Federal incom e taxes, it gave sanc­
tion to an accounting practice fo r public authorities to
apply in the regulation o f certain types o f financial in­
stitutions even though they may not pay Federal in­
com e taxes.
The advantage to such nontaxable
investors is that they m ay be perm itted to ca rry the
new, higher rate securities at the sam e p rice as the old.

40. F rom the stan d poin t o f the T reasu ry , a d ­
vance re fu n d in g is the best means o f ach ievin g
an u rgen tly needed im provem ent in the m atu­
rity structure o f the m arketable p u b lic debt.
A n im proved debt structure, w h ich is the p rin ­
cip al advantage a ccru in g to the T reasu ry from
use o f advance refu n d in g, w ou ld afford m uch
needed flexib ility in financing operations. It
sh ou ld also result in low er over-all costs t o the
T reasu ry o v e r the years ahead. T h e size and
frequen cy o f T reasu ry b orrow in g s w ill be re­
duced to the extent the d ebt can be fun d ed at
lo n g term . In tu rn , this w ould m inim ize the
interferen ce o f T reasu ry financings w ith the
tim in g o f a p p rop ria te m onetary p o licy actions.
41. A s noted, advance refu n d in g perm its
substantial debt extension w ith a m inim um d is­
turbance to financial m arkets and the econ om y
gen erally. I t makes G overnm ent bonds m ore
attractive to lon g -term investors, thus reducing
the T rea su ry ’s dependence on inflationary
short-term bank b orrow in g . I t a void s m any o f
the disadvan tages in volved in sellin g long-term
bonds f o r cash o r in exch an ge f o r m aturing
issues. S p ecifica lly, it reduces market inter­
ference o f heavy refu n d in g s ( o r o f resortin g to
alternative sizeable cash offerin gs) in relation
to corp ora te, m u n icip al and m ortgage financ­



ing. A s a result, the direct interest cost to the
T reasu ry o f p la cin g a g iv e n am ount o f secu ri­
ties in the lon g -term area by m eans o f advance
re fu n d in g should be sign ifican tly less than if
a n equal am ou nt were sold fo r cash o r in e x ­
change f o r m atu rin g issues. T h is is because
the m arket process o f m o b ilizin g the cash to
buy new bon d s o r the process o f effectin g the
redistribution that must accom pan y a re fu n d ­
in g at m atu rity requires a relatively high in­
terest rate com m ensurate w ith the am ount
issued.
In an advance re fu n d in g , h ow ever,
there should l>e little market ch u rn in g and no
need f o r m obilization o f new cash, thereby re­
su ltin g in a low er interest cost than on a cash
o ffe rin g o r routine re fu n d in g o f equal am ount.
42. It m ay be noted that on ly when debt
op eration s are su pp orted b y all typ es o f inves­
tors p u rch a sin g and h o ld in g a w ide range o f
m aturities can the T reasu ry finance on the most
econ om ical basis. A n undue con cen tration o f
the d ebt in one area is almost im m ediately re­
flected in h ig h er interest costs in the area
affected and experience has show n that this
tends to fan out across the m atu rity spectrum .
T h is was clearly dem onstrated in the past year
when as a result o f the interest rate ce ilin g the
T reasu ry was fo rc e d to concentrate its financ­
in g in the u n der-5-year area. A n y increased
interest cost is on o n ly a sm all p ortion o f the
debt and very lik ely w ill be m ore than offset
b y low er costs on subsequent routine debt o p e r ­
ations (to ta lin g m any b illion s o f d olla rs each
y e a r) as the m atu rity structure o f the debt is
brou gh t into better balance. In a d d ition , in
v ie w in g the cost aspect o f advance re fu n d in g
fro m the standpoint o f the T reasu ry it should
be noted that the increased cou p on o v e r the re­
m ain in g life o f the m atu rin g security (e .g ., 5
years in the case o f a h yp oth etical issue m atur­
in g in 1965) w ould l>e onset by a low er cou pon
f o r the rem ain in g years o f the new security
(e.g ., the five years fo llo w in g 1965 in this p a r­
ticu lar case) than w ou ld have to be p aid now
to sell a new secu rity at a com parable m aturity.
43. F in a lly , k eepin g present h olders o f T rea s­
ury securities as investors in the years ahead is
an im portan t task f o r the T reasu ry in m anag­
in g the debt. A d v a n ce re fu n d in g makes a
m a jor con trib u tion tow a rd this g o a l; specifi­
ca lly , it g rea tly im proves the T reasu ry's chances
o f retain in g its lon g -term custom ers, w h o in
recent years have been liq u id a tin g T reasu ry
securities, as they m ove tow a rd m atu rity, and

use o f advan ce re fu n d in g recognizes the p r e f­
erence o f each class o f investors f o r securities
o f suitable m atu rity. T h u s a p rin cip a l m erit
o f advan ce re fu n d in g is that it enables a lo n g ­
term h o ld e r whose b on d is sh orten ing in m a­
tu rity an o p p o rtu n ity to exten d b efo re th e m a­

and ty p ica l interm ediate h old ers in inter­
mediates.

44. A d v a n ce re fu n d in g is the least costly
m eth od fo r the T reasu ry to retain its custom ers
and to achieve a significan t extension o f the
debt. A ch ie v in g these tw in ob jectives involves
som e cost, how ever, and in settin g the term s o f

45. I n rela tin g the interest rate ce ilin g to a d ­
va n ce re fu n d in g it is obvious that the cou pon
rate on the new secu rity does n o t represent the
true interest cost to the T reasu ry o f obtainin g

extension to the T reasu ry.
47. T h is exam p le is oversim p lified , how ever,
since the a d d ition a l cou p on cost to the T reasu ry
takes p la ce in the first 5 years w h ile the savin g
in cou p on does n ot take p la ce u n til the next
5-year p e rio d . I f interest is com pou n d ed semi­
ann u ally (a t 4 percent p e r annum ) th e cost to
the T reasu ry o f the 5-year extension in advance
is 4.16 percent rath er than the 4 p ercen t cost in
the sim plified illustration. I t is th is d erived

w ou ld have to take in to account in determ in in g
w hether o r n ot an advance re fu n d in g issue

48. I t sh ou ld be fu rth e r em phasized th a t th is

Fiscal Agent o f the United States

fCirnuUr No. 42571
I July 29, 1965 J

CHANGE IN GROUPING OF TREASURY TAX AND LOAN DEPOSITARIES

To all Treasury Tax and Loan Depositaries
in the Second Federal Reserve District:

Effective July 29, 1955, all Treasury Tax and Loan depositaries will be divided into three
groups, as follows:
Group A— All depositaries having Treasury Tax and Loan Account balances of
$150,000 or less at the close of business July 28, 1955.
Group B—All depositaries having Treasury Tax and Loan Account balances of more
than $150,000 at the close of business July 28, 1955 (except Group C banks
below).
Group C—All depositaries having total deposits of $500,000,000 or more, as shown by
the latest call reports of bank supervisory authorities.
This grouping of depositaries wall be continued until further notice, notwithstanding any
subsequent changes in the size of the Treasury Tax and Loan Account balance o f any
depositary.
The Treasury Department has issued the following statement on the change in grouping:
One o f the variable factors influencing the supply o f member bank reserves is the day-to-day
fluctuation o f Treasury balances at Federal Reserve Banks. W ith a view to reducing these day-to-day
fluctuations, the Treasury, in consultation with representatives o f the Federal Reserve System, has
form ulated a change in procedure for withdrawing funds from Tax and Loan Accounts effective
A ugust 1, 1955.
Under the procedure a new classification o f depositaries will be established, to be known as Class
“ C ” depositaries. These depositaries will consist o f all banks having total deposits o f $500 million or
more, as shown by the latest call reports o f bank supervisory authorities.
The Treasury will continue to issue call notices bn Mondays and Thursdays for withdrawals from
Class “ A ” and “ B ” banks in the manner previously followed. A t the same time notices fo r calls on
the Class “ C ” banks will be issued with the same timing as the calls fo r the “ B ” banks. In other words,




( over )

the procedure fo r M onday and Thursday calls on all depositaries will continue unchanged. However,
when it is anticipated at the start o f a particular day that the Treasury’s balances with the Reserve
Banks w ill deviate substantially from the desired level at the close o f business that day, the estimated
deviation w ill be offset by adjusting the amount o f the calls already issued to the Class “ C ” banks for
payment that day. These outstanding calls on the “ C ’ ’ banks will be increased, decreased, or canceled
to produce the desired closing Treasury balances fo r the day. Occasionally it w ill be necessary to make
a withdrawal where none had been scheduled by the original M onday or Thursday calls. It is conceiv­
able that the Treasury under some circumstances might even redeposit funds in the “ C ” banks
although that is not contemplated at the start.
The Class “ C ” banks will be notified o f the adjusted calls by telephone or telegraph between
10 a.m. and 11 a.m., W ashington, D. C. time, on the day the calls become effective. Notification will be
made to each Class “ C M bank by its own Federal Reserve Bank, which will in turn receive instructions
from the Treasury by telegraph not later than 1 0 :30 a.m. It will be necessary fo r the Federal Reserve
Banks to arrange with their respective “ C ” depositaries to accept the telephone or telegraph notices
o f the adjusted calls and to pay the adjusted amounts to the Federal Reserve Bank fo r credit to the
Treasurer’s account.
It should be emphasized that the regular advance calls on the Class “ C ” banks will be adjusted
only in the event o f wide and unexpected swings in the Treasury balances at the Reserve Banks and
total withdrawals over a period o f about a month will probably not vary greatly from calls that will
be made on the basis o f the present procedure. Thus the Class “ C ” banks should under most circum ­
stances have advance notice o f withdrawals from their Tax and Loan A ccounts so that uncertainties
in managing reserve positions will be kept to the minimum consistent with the objectives o f the plan.
The Treasury will make every effort to equalize the precentage o f withdrawals from the Class “ B ”
and “ C ’ ’ banks from day-to-day or week-to-week so that over a period o f time there will be no undue
advantage or disadvantage to either class o f bank.
A fter the new procedure is in effect, it will probably result in the discontinuance o f the “ X ”
account classification fo r handling the special deposit o f large checks during the quarterly tax-payment
date. A ll credits to Tax and Loan Accounts arising from such special deposits would then be credited
to the respective Class “ A ” , “ B ” or “ C ” banks without the special “ X ” accounting now required;
however, the special cash letter or draft procedure followed in connection with these credits will
remain unchanged.
