To All Incorporated Banks and Trust Companies, and Others

Following is the text of a notice issued by the Treasury Department, released for publication today at

The Treasury Department, by this public notice, invites
tenders for two series o f Treasury bills to the aggregate amount
of $2,000,000,000, or thereabouts, for cash and in exchange for
Treasury bills maturing September 6, 1962, in the amount of
$1,901,854,000, as fo llo w s:
91-day bills (to maturity date) to be issued September 6,
1962, in the amount o f $1,300,000,000, or thereabouts,
representing an additional amount o f bills dated June 7,
1962, and to mature December 6, 1962, originally issued
in the amount of $701,967,000, the additional and orig­
inal bills to be freely interchangeable.
182-day bills, for $700,000,000, or thereabouts, to be dated
September 6, 1962, and to mature March 7, 1963.
The bills of both series will be issued on a discount basis
under competitive and noncompetitive bidding as hereinafter
provided, and at maturity their face amount will be payable
without interest. They will be issued in bearer form only, and
in denominations of $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $50,000, $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, one-thirty p.m., Eastern Day­
light Saving time, Friday, August 31, 1962. Tenders will
not be received at the Treasury Department, Washington.
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 o f 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 forms and forwarded in the special
envelopes which will be supplied by Federal Reserve Banks
or Branches on application therefor.
Banking institutions generally may submit tenders for ac­
count o f customers, provided the names o f the customers are
set forth in such tenders. Others than banking institutions will
not be permitted to submit tenders except for their own account.
Tenders will be received without deposit from incorporated
banks and trust companies and from responsible and recognized
dealers in investment securities. Tenders from others must be
accompanied by payment o f 2 percent of the face amount of
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 ing which
public announcement will 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. The 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, noncompetitive tenders for $200,000 or less
for the additional bills dated June 7, 1962 (91 days remain­
ing until maturity date on December 6, 1962) and noncompeti­
tive tenders for $100,000 or less for the 182-day bills without stated
price from any one bidder w ill be accepted in full at the average
price (in three decimals) of accepted competitive bids for the
respective issues. Settlement for accepted tenders in accordance
with the bids must be made or completed at the Federal
Reserve Bank on September 6, 1962, in cash or other imme­
diately available funds or in a like face amount o f Treasury
bills maturing September 6, 1962. 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 of the new bills.
The income derived from Treasury bills, whether interest
or gain from the sale or other disposition of the bills, does not
have any exemption, as such, and loss from the sale or other
disposition o f Treasury bills does not have any special treat­
ment, as such, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. The
bills are subject to estate, inheritance, gift 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. For 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.
Under Sections 454(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 of, and such bills are
excluded from consideration as capital assets. Accordingly,
the owner of Treasury bills (other than life insurance com ­
panies) issued hereunder need include in his income tax return
only the difference between the price paid for such bills,
whether on original issue or on subsequent 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 (current revision)
and this notice prescribe the terms of the Treasury bills and
govern the conditions of their issue. Copies o f the circular may
be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch.

This Bank will receive tenders for both series up to 1 :30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Friday,
August 31, 1962, at the Securities Department of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch. Tender forms for
the respective series are enclosed. Please use the appropriate forms to submit tenders and return them in an
envelope marked “ Tender for Treasury Bills.” Tenders may be submitted by telegraph, subject to written
confirmation; they may not be submitted by telephone. Payment for the Treasury bills cannot be made by credit
through the Treasury Tax and Loan Account. Settlement must be made in cash or other immediately available funds
or in maturing Treasury bills.
This circular was printed before the results of the bidding for Treasury bills to be issued August 30,
1962, were available; those results will be announced after release by the Treasury Department.
