serves the right to accept or reject any or all tenders,
in whole or in part, and his action in any such respect

date, the allotment will be cancelled and the deposit
with the tender up to 5 percent of the amount of notes
allotted will be subject to forfeiture to the United
States.
Nonbank investors should understand that their
checks will constitute payment only if they are fully
and finally collected by the payment date, Monday,
November 15, 1971. Checks not so collected will sub­
ject the investor’s deposit to forfeiture as set forth in
the preceding paragraph. A check payable other than
at a Federal Reserve Bank received on the payment
date will not constitute immediately available funds
on that date. The Treasury will construe as timely

payment any check payable to the Federal Reserve
Bank or the Treasurer of the United States that is
received at such bank or office by Wednesday, Novem­
ber 10, 1971, provided the check is drawn on a bank
in the Federal Reserve District of the bank or office
to which the tender is submitted. A check submitted
for the full amount of a tender should be, in the case
of a tender at a competitive price, equal to the total
purchase price of the notes bid for, or, in the case
of a noncompetitive tender, equal to the full face
amount of the notes bid for. Bidders on a noncom­
petitive basis who submit checks for the face amount
of the notes bid for will be ( 1) required to pay an
additional amount if the purchase price is more than
100, or (2 ) paid the difference if the purchase price is
less than 100.

Commerical banks are prohibited from making un­
secured loans, or loans collateralized in whole or in
part by the notes bid for, to cover the deposits re­
quired to be paid when tenders are entered, and they
will be required to make the usual certification to that
effect. Other lenders are requested to refrain from
making such loans.
All bidders are required to agree not to purchase or
to sell, or to make any agreements with respect to the
purchase or sale or other disposition of the notes bid
for under this offering at a specific rate or price, until
after 1 :30 p.m., Eastern Standard time, Tuesday,
November 9, 1971.
