The bills o f 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 Standard time, Monday, February 27, 1967. Tenders will not be received at the Treasury Department, Washington. Each tender must be for an even multiple o f $1,000, and in the case o f 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 account 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 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 will be opened at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, following which public announcement will be made by the Treasury Department o f the amount and price range o f accepted bids. Those suomitting 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 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 March 2, 1967, in cash or other immedately available funds or in a like face amount o f Treasury bills maturing March 2, 1967. 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 o f the new bills. The income derived from Treasury bills, whether interest or gain from the sale or other disposition o f the bills, does not have any exemption, as such, and loss from the sale or other disposition o f 1 reasury bills does not have any special treatment, as such, under the Internal Revenue Code o f 1954. The bills are subject to estate, inheritance, gift or other excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but are exempt from all taxation now or here after 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 taxation the amount o f dis count at which Treasury bills are originally sold by the United States is considered to be interest. Under Sections 454(b) and 1221(5) of 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 o f 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 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 tins notice prescribe the terms o f the Treasury bills and govern the conditions o f 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 Standard time, Monday, February 27, 1967, at the Securities Department of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch.
