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 4 p.m.,
Eastern Daylight Saving time:
The Treasury Department, by this public notice, invites
tenders for two series of Treasury bills to the aggregate amount
of $2,300,000,000, or thereabouts, for cash and in exchange for
Treasury bills maturing August 11, 1966, in the amount of
$2,302,555,000, as follows:
91-day bills (to maturity date) to be issued August 11, 1966,
in the amount of $1,300,000,000, or thereabouts, represent­
ing an additional amount of bills dated May 12, 1966, and
to mature November 10, 1966, originally issued in the
amount of $1,001,478,000, the additional and original bills
to be freely interchangeable.
182-day bills, for $1,000,000,000, or thereabouts, to be dated
August 11, 1966, and to mature February 9, 1967.
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, Monday, August 8, 1966. 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 com­
petitive 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
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 account
of customers, provided the names of 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 of 2 percent of the face amount of Treasury bills
applied for, unless the tenders are accompanied by an express
guaranty of payment by an incorporated bank or trust company.
Immediately after the closing hour, tenders will be opened
at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, following which
public announcement will be made by the Treasury Department

of 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 reserva­
tions, noncompetitive tenders for each issue for $200,000 or less
without stated price from any one bidder will 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 August 11, 1966, in cash or other
immediately available funds or in a like face amount of Treasury
bills maturing August 11, 1966. Cash and exchange tenders will
receive equal treatment. Cash adjustments will be made for
differences between the par value of 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 of 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 of the possessions of the United States,
or by any local taxing authority. For purposes of taxation the
amount of discount at which Treasury bills are originally sold
by the United States is considered to be interest. Under Sec­
tions 454(b) and 1221(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954,
the amount of 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 con­
sideration as capital assets. Accordingly, the owner of Treasury
bills (other than life insurance companies) 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 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 (current revision)
and this notice prescribe the terms of the Treasury bills and
govern the conditions of their issue. Copies of 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, Monday, August 8,
1966, 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.

additional amount of bills dated May 5, 1966, maturing November 3, 1966; and 182-day bills dated August 4, 1966,
