September 17, 1976

TREASURY TO AUCTION $2,500 MILLION OF 5-YEAR NOTES

To A ll Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned,
in the Second Federal Reserve District:

The following statement was issued September 16 by the Treasury Department:
The Department of the Treasury will auction $2,500 million of 5-year notes to raise new cash. Additional
amounts of the notes may be issued to Federal Reserve Banks as agents of foreign and international monetary
authorities at the average price of accepted tenders.
Printed on the reverse side is a table summarizing the highlights of the offering. Copies of the official
offering circular will be furnished upon request.
Bidders submitting noncompetitive tenders for the notes should realize that it is possible that the
average price may be above par, in which case they would have to pay more than the face value for the
securities.
If payment for the notes is made by check, the check should be a certified personal check or an
official bank check, payable on its face to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; checks endorsed to this
Bank will not be accepted.
Enclosed is a copy of the form to be used in submitting tenders. If there is any doubt that tenders sent
by mail will reach this Bank or its Branch in time, bidders should use other means of transm itting
their tenders.
Telephone inquiries regarding this offering may be made by calling Telephone No. 212-791-5823,
212-791-6616, or 212-791-5465.

I. INVITATION FOR TENDERS

1.
The Secretary of the Treasury, pursuant to the
authority of the Second Liberty Bond Act, as amended,
invites tenders on a yield basis for $2,500,000,000, or
thereabouts, of notes of the United States, designated
Treasury Notes of Series G-1981 (CUSIP No. 912827
GA 4). The interest rate for the notes will be determined
as set forth in Section III, paragraph 3, hereof. Addi­
tional amounts of these notes may be issued at the
average price of accepted tenders to Government ac­
counts and to Federal Reserve Banks for themselves and
as agents of foreign and international monetary authori­
ties. Tenders will be received up to 1:30 p.m., Eastern
Daylight Saving time, Tuesday, September 28, 1976,
under competitive and noncompetitive bidding, as set
forth in Section III hereof.
II. DESCRIPTION OF NOTES

1. The notes will be dated October 12, 1976, and will
bear interest from that date, payable on a semiannual
basis on May 15 and November 15, 1977, and thereafter
on May 15 and November 15 in each year until the
principal amount becomes payable. They will mature
November 15,1981, and will not be subject to call for re­
demption prior to maturity.
2. The income derived from the notes is subject to all
taxes imposed under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954.
The notes are subject to estate, inheritance, gift or other
excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but are exempt
from all taxation 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.
3. The notes will be acceptable to secure deposits of
public moneys. They will not be acceptable in payment of
taxes.
4. Bearer notes with interest coupons attached, and
notes registered as to principal and interest, will be
issued in denominations of $1,000, $5,000, $10,000,
$100,000 and $1,000,000. Book-entry notes will be avail­
able to eligible bidders in multiples of those amounts.
Interchanges of notes of different denominations and of
coupon and registered notes, and the transfer of register­
ed notes will be permitted.




Office o f the Secretary,

Washington, September 17,1976.
5. The notes will be subject to the general regulations
of the Department of the Treasury, now or hereafter
prescribed, governing United States notes.

III. TENDERS AND ALLOTMENTS

1. Tenders will be received at Federal Reserve Banks
and Branches and at the Bureau of the Public Debt,
Washington, D.C. 20226, up to the closing hour, 1:30
p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Tuesday, Septem­
ber 28, 1976. Noncompetitive tenders will be considered
timely if postmarked no later than Monday, September
27. Each tender must state the face amount of notes bid
for, which must be $1,000 or a multiple thereof, and the
yield desired, except that in the case of noncompetitive
tenders the term “noncompetitive” should be used in lieu
of a yield. In the case of competitive tenders, the yield
must be expressed in terms of an annual yield, with two
decimals, e.g., 7.11. Fractions may not be used. Non­
competitive tenders from any one bidder may not exceed
$500,000.
2. Commercial banks, which for this purpose are
defined as banks accepting demand deposits, and dealers
who make primary markets in Government securities
and report daily to the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York their positions with respect to Government
securities and borrowings thereon, may submit tenders
for account of customers provided the names of the
customers are set forth in such tenders. Others will not
be permitted to submit tenders except for their own
account. Tenders will be received without deposit from
banking institutions for their own account, Federallyinsured savings and loan associations, States, political
subdivisions or instrumentalities thereof, public pension
and retirement and other public funds, international
organizations in which the United States holds member­
ship, foreign central banks and foreign States, dealers
who make primary markets in Government securities
and report daily to the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York their positions with respect to Government
securities and borrowings thereon, and Government
accounts. Tenders from others must be accompanied by
payment of 5 percent of the face amount of notes applied
for.
(Over)

3. Immediately after the closing hour tenders will be
opened, following which public announcement will be
made by the Department of the Treasury of the amount
and yield range of accepted bids. Those submitting
competitive tenders will be advised of the acceptance or
rejection thereof. In considering the acceptance of
tenders, those with the lowest yields will be accepted to
the extent required to attain the amount offered. Tenders
at the highest accepted yield will be prorated if necessary.
After a determination is made as to which tenders are
accepted, a coupon rate will be determined at a 1/8 of
one percent increment that translates into an average
accepted price close to 100.000 and a lowest accepted
price above 98.750. That rate of interest will be paid on
all of the notes. Based on such interest rate, the price on
each competitive tender allotted will be determined and
each successful competitive bidder will be required to
pay the price corresponding to the yield bid. Price
calculations will be carried to three decimal places on the
basis of price per hundred, e.g., 99.923, and the
determinations of the Secretary of the Treasury shall be
final. The Secretary of the Treasury expressly reserves
the right to accept or reject any or all tenders, in whole or
in part, including the right to accept tenders for more or
less than the $2,500,000,000 of notes offered, and his
action in any such respect shall be final. Subject to these
reservations, noncompetitive tenders for $500,000 or less
without stated yield from any one bidder will be accepted
in full at the average price1 (in three decimals) of
accepted competitive tenders.
4. If the interest rate determined in accordance with
this circular is identical to the rate on an outstanding
issue of United States notes, and the terms and condi­
tions of such outstanding issue are otherwise identical to
terms and conditions of the securities offered herein, this
invitation shall be deemed to be an invitation for an
additional amount of the outstanding securities and this
circular will be amended accordingly. Payment for the
securities in that event will be calculated on the basis of
the auction price determined in accordance with this
circular plus accrued interest from the last preceding
interest payment date on the outstanding securities.
IV. PAYMENT
1.
Settlement for accepted tenders in accordance with
the bids must be made or completed on or before
1Average price may be at, or more or less than 100.000.

where full payment is not completed, the payment with
the tender up to 5 percent of the amount of notes allotted

Treasury in his discretion, be forfeited to the United
States.
V. GENERAL PROVISIONS

Reserve Banks are authorized and requested to receive

may issue interim receipts pending delivery of the
definitive notes.
2. The Secretary of the Treasury may at any time, or

tory rules and regulations governing the offering, which
will be communicated promptly to the Federal Reserve
Banks.
