T enders will be received a t Federal Reserve B anks and Branches up to the closing hour, one-thirty p.m., E astern
Standard Tim e, Wednesday, February 21, 1968. Tenders will not be received a t the T reasury D epartm ent, Washington.
Each tender m ust be for an even m ultiple of $1,000, and in the case of competitive tenders th e price offered must be expressed
on the basis of 100, with not more than three decimals, e.g., 99.925. Fractions m ay not be used. (Notw ithstanding the fact th a t
the one-year bills will run for 365-days, the discount rate will be com puted on a bank discount basis of 360-days, as is currently
the practice on all issues of T reasury bills.) I t is urged th a t tenders be m ade on the printed forms and forwarded in the special
envelopes which will be supplied by Federal Reserve Banks or Branches on application therefor.
Banking institutions generally m ay subm it tenders for account of customers provided the names of the customers are
set forth in such tenders. Others than banking institutions will n ot be perm itted to subm it tenders except for their own account.
Tenders will be received without deposit from incorporated banks and tru st companies and from responsible and recognized

tru st company.
Im m ediately after the closing hour, tenders will be opened a t the Federal Reserve B anks and Branches, following which
public announcem ent will be made by the T reasury D epartm ent of the am ount and price range of accepted bids. Those
subm itting tenders will be advised of the acceptance or rejection thereof. T he Secretary of the Treasury expressly reserves th e
rig ht to accept or reject any or all tenders, in whole or in part, and his action in any such respect shall be final. Subject to
these reservations, noncompetitive tenders for each issue for $200,000 or less w ithout stated price from any one bidder will be
accepted in full a t the average price (in three decimals) of accepted competitive bids for th e respective issues. Settlem ent for
accepted tenders in accordance with the bids m ust be m ade or com pleted a t the Federal Reserve Bank on February 29, 1968,
in cash or other im m ediately available funds or in a like face am ount of T reasury bills m aturing February 29, 1968. Cash and
exchange tenders will receive equal treatm ent. Cash adjustm ents will be m ade for differences between the par value of m aturing
bills accepted in exchange and the issue price of the new bills.
T he income derived from T reasury bills, w hether interest or gain from th e sale or other disposition of the bills, does not
have any exemption, as such, and loss from the sale or other disposition of Treasury bills does not have any special treatm ent,
as such, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. T h e bills are subject to estate, inheritance, gift or other excise taxes, whether
Federal or State, b u t 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 th e U nited States, or by any local taxing authority. For purposes of taxation the am ount of discount
a t which T reasury bills are originally sold by the U nited States is considered to be interest. U nder Sections 454 (b ) and 1221 (5 )
of th e Internal Revenue Code of 1954 the am ount of discount a t which bills issued hereunder are sold is not considered to
accrue until such bills are sold, redeem ed or otherwise disposed of, and such bills are excluded from consideration as capital
assets. Accordingly, th e owner of Treasury bills (other than life insurance companies) issued hereunder need include in his
income tax return only the difference between the price paid for such 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 th e return is
m ade, as ordinary gain or loss.
T reasury D epartm ent Circular No. 418 (cu rrent revision) and this notice, prescribe the term s of the T reasury bills and
govern th e conditions of their issue. Copies of the circular may be obtained from any Federal Reserve B ank or Branch.

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 F O I TREASURY BILLS”. Since envelopes received

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 m

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
.....................................................J
a member of the firm”.

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.
