right 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, noncom petitive tenders for each issue for $200,000 or less without stated price from any one bidder will be

T he income derived from Treasury bills, w hether interest or gain from the sale or other disposition of th e bills, does not
have any exemption, as such, and loss from the sale or other disposition of T reasury bills does not have any special treatm ent,
as such, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. T he bills are subject to estate, inheritance, gift or other excise taxes, w hether
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. F or purposes of taxation the am ount of discount
a t which Treasury bills are originally sold by the U nited States is considered to be interest. U nder Section 454 (b ) and
1221 (5 ) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 the am ount of discount a t which bills issued hereunder are sold is not con­
sidered to accrue until such bills are sold, redeemed or otherwise disposed of, and such bills are excluded from consideration as
capital assets. Accordingly, the 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, whether 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, as ordinary gain or loss.
Treasury D epartm ent Circular No. 418 (current revision) and this notice, prescribe the terms of th e T reasury bills and
govern the conditions of their issue. Copies of the circular m ay be obtained from any Federal Reserve Dank or Branch.
In accordance with the above announcement, tenders w ill be received a t this b ank and its branches a t El Paso,
Houston an d San Antonio up to tw elve-thirty p.m., Central Daylight Saving Time, Friday, August 29, 1969. Tenders m ay

Yours very truly,
P. E. Coldwell
President

IMPORTANT
1. No tender for less than $1,000 will be considered and each tender must be for an amount in multiples of $1,000 (maturity
value).
2. Tenders should be forwarded in an envelope clearly addressed to this bank or appropriate branch as Fiscal Agent o f the
United States, with notation on the envelope reading “TENDER FOR TREASURY OFFERING.” Since envelopes re ­
ceived 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 th e
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 in v est­
ment securities will be disregarded, unless accompanied by a deposit of 2 percent of the total amount (maturity valu e)
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 mate­
rial, the tender may be disregarded.
