people of the United States for 2 percent bonds of the United States, designated Treasury Bonds of

offered for public subscription, $50,000,000, or thereabouts, of these bonds will be allotted to Government investment accounts.
II. DESCRIPTION OF BONDS
1. The bonds will be dated December 8, 1939, and will bear interest from that date at the rate of
2 percent per annum payable on a semiannual basis on June 15 and December 15 in each year until the

15, 1948, in whole or in part, at par and accrued interest, on any interest day or days, on 4 months'
notice of redemption given in such manner as the Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe. In case
of partial redemption the bonds to be redeemed will be determined by such method as may be prescribed
by the Secretary of the Treasury. Prom the date of redemption designated in any such notice, interest
on the bonds called for redemption shall cease.
2. The bonds shall be exempt, both as to principal and interest, from all taxation now or hereafter imposed by the United States, any State, or any of the possessions of the United States, or by
any local taxing authority, except (a) estate or inheritance taxes, or gift taxes, and (b) graduated
additional income taxes, commonly known as surtaxes, and excess-profits and war-profits taxes, now or
hereafter imposed by the United States, upon the income or profits of individuals, partnerships, associations, or corporations. The interest on an amount of bonds authorized by the Second Liberty
Bond Act, approved September 24, 1917, as amended, the principal of which does not exceed in the
aggregate $5,000, owned by any individual, partnership, association, or corporation, shall be exempt
from the taxes provided for in clause (b) above.
3. The bonds will be acceptable to secure deposits of public moneys, but will not bear the circulation privilege and will not be entitled to any privilege of conversion.
4. Bearer bonds with interest coupons attached, and bonds registered as to principal and interest,
will be issued in denominations of $50, $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000 and $100,000. Provision will
be made for the interchange of bonds of different denominations and of coupon and registered bonds,
and for the transfer of registered bonds, under rules and regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the
Treasury.
5. The bonds will be subject to the general regulations of the Treasury Department, now or hereafter prescribed, governing United States bonds.




III. SUBSCRIPTION AND ALLOTMENT
1. Subscriptions will be received at the Federal Reserve banks and branches and at the Treasury
Department, Washington. Banking institutions generally may submit subscriptions for account of
customers, but only the Federal Reserve banks and the Treasury Department are authorized to act as
official agencies. Others than banking institutions will not be permitted to enter subscriptions except
for their own account. Subscriptions from banks and trust companies for their own account will be
received without deposit but will be restricted in each case to an amount not exceeding one-half of the
combined capital and surplus of the subscribing bank or trust company. Subscriptions from all
others must be accompanied by payment of 10 percent of the amount of bonds applied for. The
Secretary of the Treasury reserves the right to close the books as to any or all subscriptions or classes
of subscriptions at any time without notice.
2. The Secretary of the Treasury reserves the right to reject any subscription, in whole or in
part, to allot less than the amount of bonds applied for, to make allotments in full upon applications
for smaller amounts and to make reduced allotments upon, or to reject, applications for larger
amounts, or to adopt any or all of said methods or such other methods of allotment and classification
of allotments as shall be deemed by him to be in the public interest; and his action in any or all of these
respects shall be final. Subscriptions for amounts up to and including $5,000 where the subscribers
specify that delivery be made in registered bonds 60 days after the issue date will be given preferred
allotment. In each such case payment must be made as provided in section IV of this circular.
Allotment notices will be sent out promptly upon allotment, and the basis of the allotment will be
publicly announced.
IV. PAYMENT
1. Payment at par and accrued interest, if any, for bonds allotted hereunder must be made or
completed on or before December 8, 1939, or on later allotment. In every case where payment is not
so completed, the payment with application up to 10 percent of the amount of bonds applied for shall,
upon declaration made by the Secretary of the Treasury in his discretion, be forfeited to the United
States. Any qualified depositary will be permitted to make payment by credit for bonds allotted to
it for itself and its customers up to any amount for which it shall be qualified in excess of existing
deposits, when so notified by the Federal Reserve bank of its district.
V. GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. As fiscal agents of the United States, Federal Reserve banks are authorized and requested to
receive subscriptions, to make allotments on the basis and up to the amounts indicated by the Secretary of the Treasury to the Federal Reserve banks of the respective districts, to issue allotment notices,
to receive payment for bonds allotted, to make delivery of bonds on full-paid subscriptions allotted, and
