Immediately after the closing hour, tenders will be opened at

competitive tenders will be advised of the acceptance or rejection

his action in any such respect shall be final. Subject to 'these
reservations, noncompetitive tenders for each issue for $500,000 or

Under Sections 454(b) and 1221(5) of the Internal Revenue
Code Oi 1954, the amount of discount at which bills issued here­
under are sold is considered to accrue when the bills are sold,
redeemed or otherwise disposed of, and the bills are excluded from
consideration as capital assets. Accordingly, the owner of Treasury
bills (other than life insurance companies) issued hereunder must
include in Ins income tax return, as ordinary gain or loss, the
difference between the price paid for the 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.
