without interest. Th ey w ill be issued in bearer form only, and
in denominations o f $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $50,000, $100,000,
$500,000 and $1,000,000 (m aturity valu e).
Tenders will be received at Federal Reserve Banks and
Branches up to the closing hour, one-thirty p.m., Eastern D ay­
light Saving time, Monday, August 4, 1969. Tenders will not be
received at the Treasury Department, W ashington. Each tender
must be for an even multiple o f $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 form s and forw arded 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 w ill 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 o f 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 will be opened
at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, follow ing which

public announcement will be made by the Treasury Department
of the amount and price range of accepted bids. Those sub­
mitting 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 reservations, noncompetitive tenders for each issue for
$200,000 or less without stated price from any one bidder w ill
be accepted in full at the average price (in three decim als) o f
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 7, 1969,
in cash or other immediately available funds or in a like face
amount of Treasury bills maturing August 7, 1969. Cash and
exchange tenders will receive equal treatment. Cash adjust­
ments 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 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 o f 1954. The
bills are subject to estate, inheritance, gift or other excise
taxes, whether Federal or State, but are exem pt 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.
F or purposes o f
taxation the amount of discount at which Treasury bills are
originally sold by the United States is considered to be interest.
Under Sections 4 5 4 (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. A ccordin gly,
the ow ner 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 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 N o. 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, Monday, August 4,
