Banking institutions generally m ay subm it tenders for account of customers provided the nam es of the customers are
set forth in such tenders. Others than banking institutions will not be perm itted to subm it tenders except for their own account.
Tenders w ill be received without deposit from incorporated banks and trust com panies and from responsible and recognized
dealers in investm ent securities. Tenders from others must be accom panied by paym ent of 2 percent of the face am ount of
Treasury bills applied for, unless the tenders are accom panied by an express guaranty of paym ent by an incorporated bank or
trust company.
Im m ediately after the closing hour, tenders will be opened at the Federal R eserve Banks and Branches, follow ing which
public announcem ent will be made by the Treasury D epartm ent of the am ount and price range of accepted bids. Only those
subm itting com petitive tenders will be advised of the acceptance or rejection thereof. T he Secretary of the Treasury expressly
reserves the right to accept or reject any or all tenders, in whole or in part, and his action in any such respect shall be final. Sub­
ject to these reservations, noncom petitive tenders for each issue for $200,000 or less without stated price from any one bidder will
be accepted in full at the average price (in three decim als) of accepted com petitive bids for the respective issues. Settlem ent for
accepted tenders in accordance with the bids m ust be made or com pleted at the Federal R eserve Bank on August 13, 1970, in
cash or other im m ediately available funds or in a like face am ount of Treasury bills maturing August 13, 1970. Cash and
exchange tenders will receive equal treatment. Cash adjustm ents will be m ade for differences between the par value of matur­
ing bills accepted in exchange and the issue price of the new bills.
T he incom e derived from Treasury bills, whether interest or gain from the sale or other disposition of the bills, does not
have any exem ption, as such, and loss from the sale or other disposition of Treasury bills does not have any special treatment,
as such, under the Internal R evenue Code of 1954. T he bills are subject to estate, inheritance, gift or other excise taxes, whether
Federal or State, but are exem pt from all taxation now or hereafter imposed on the principal or interest thereof by any State,
or any of the possessions of the U nited States, or by any local taxing authority. For purposes of taxation the am ount of discount
at which Treasury bills are originally sold by the U nited States is considered to be in terest Under Sections 454 (b ) and
1221 ( 5 ) of the Internal R evenue Code of 1954 the amount of discount at which bills issued hereunder are sold is not con­
sidered to accrue until such bills are sold, redeem ed or otherwise disposed of, and such bills are excluded from consideration as
capital assets. Accordingly, the owner of Treasury bills (other than life insurance com panies) issued hereunder need include
in his income tax return only the difference between the price paid for such bills, whether on original issue or on subsequent
purchase, and the am ount actually received either upon sale or redem ption at maturity during the taxable year for which the
return is made, as ordinary gain or loss.
Treasury Departm ent Circular No. 41 8 (current revision) and this notice, prescribe the terms of the Treasury bills and
govern the conditions of their issue. Copies of the circular m ay be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch.

In accordance with the above announcement, tenders will be received at this bank an d its branches at El Paso,
Houston and San Antonio up to twelve-thirty p.m., Central Daylight Saving Time, Monday, August 10, 1970. Tenders may
not be entered by telephone.
Yours very truly,
P. E. Coldwell
President

1. No tender for less than $10,000 will be considered and each tender must be for an amount in multiples of $10,000 (maturity

2. Tenders should be forwarded in an envelope clearly addressed to this bank or appropriate branch as Fiscal Agent of the
United States, with notation on the envelope reading “TENDER FOR TREASURY OFFERING”. Since envelopes
received with this legend will not be opened until after the closing time specified in the public announcement, communi­
cations relating to other matters should not be enclosed. Envelopes for submitting tenders may be obtained from this
bank or appropriate branch.
3. Any qualified or conditional tender will be rejected.
4. If a corporation makes the tender, the form should be signed by an officer of the corporation authorized to make the
tender and the signing of the form by an officer of the corporation will be construed as a representation by him that he
has been so authorized. If the tender is made by a partnership it should be signed by a member of the firm, who
should sign in the form “------------------------------------------ , a copartnership, by-----------------------------------------------------,
a member of the firm.”
5. Tenders from those other than incorporated banks and trust companies or responsible and recognized dealers in invest­
ment securities will be disregarded, unless accompanied by a deposit of 2 percent of the total amount (maturity value)
of the Treasury bills applied for, or unless the tenders are accompanied by an express guaranty of full payment by an
incorporated bank or trust company.
6. If the language of this form is changed in any respect, which, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Treasury is
material, the tender may be disregarded.
