Cash and exchange tenders will receive equal treatm ent. Cash adjustm ents will be m ade for differences between th e p ar value
of m aturing bills accepted in exchange and the issue price of th e new bills.
U nder Sections 454 (b ) and 1221 (5 ) of the Internal R evenue Code of 1954 the am ount of discount a t which bills issued
hereunder are sold is considered to accrue when the bills are sold, redeem ed or otherwise disposed of, and the bills are excluded
from consideration as capital assets. Accordingly, the owner of T reasury bills (other than life insurance com panies) issued here­
under m ust include in his income tax return, as ordinary gain or loss, the difference between th e price paid for the bills, w hether on
original issue or on subsequent purchase, and the am ount actually received either upon sale or redem ption a t m aturity during the
taxable year for which the return is made.
T reasury D epartm ent Circular No. 418 (current revision) and this notice, prescribe th e term s of th e T reasury bills and
govern the conditions of their issue. Copies of the circular may be obtained from any Federal R eserve B ank or 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
