Imm ediately after the closing hour, tenders will be opened at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, follow in g which

sold by the United States shall be considered to be interest. Under Sections 42 and 117 (a )(1 ) o f the Internal Revenue
Code, as amended by Section 115 o f the Revenue A ct o f 1941, the amount o f discount at which bills issued hereunder are
sold shall not be considered to accrue until such bills shall be sold, redeemed or otherwise disposed of, and such bills are
