NEW OFFERING — TREASURY BILLS
To All Banking Institutions and Others Concerned
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District:
Your attention is invited to the following statement giving details of two issues of Treasury bills:
The Treasury Department, by this public notice, invites tenders for two series of Treasury bills to the aggregate amount
of $4,300,000,000, or thereabouts, to be issued September 26, 1974, as follows:
91-DAY BILLS (to maturity date) in the amount of $2,500,000,000, or thereabouts, representing an additional
amount of bills dated June 27, 1974, and to mature December 26, 1974, (CUSIP No. 912793 VE3), originally
issued in the amount of $1,900,585,000, the additional and original bills to be freely interchangeable.
182-DAY BILLS for $1,800,000,000, or thereabouts, to be dated September 26, 1974, and to mature March 27,
1975 (CUSIP No. 912793 WB8).
The bills will be issued for cash and in exchange for Treasury bills maturing September 26, 1974, outstanding in the amount
of $4,501,665,000, of which Government accounts and Federal Reserve Banks, for themselves and as agents of foreign and inter­
national monetary authorities, presently hold $2,554,865,000. These accounts may exchange bills they hold for the bills now
being offered at the average prices of accepted tenders.
The bills of both series will be issued on a discount basis under competitive and noncompetitive bidding as hereinafter
provided, and at maturity their face amount will be payable without interest. They will be issued in bearer form, and in bookentry form to designated bidders, in denominations of $10,000, $15,000, $50,000, $100,000, $500,000 and $1,000,000 (maturity
value).
Tenders will be received at Federal Reserve Banks and Branches up to the closing hour, one-thirty p.m., Eastern
Daylight Saving Time, Monday, September 23, 1974. Tenders will not be received at the Treasury Department, Washington. Each
tender must be for a minimum of $10,000. Tenders over $10,000 must be in multiples of $5,000. In the case of competitive
tenders the price offered must be expressed on the basis of 100, with not more than three decimals, e.g., 99.925. Fractions may
not be used. It is urged that tenders be made 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 and dealers who make primary markets in Government securities and report daily to the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York their positions with respect to Government securities and borrowings thereon may submit tenders
for account of customers provided the names of the customers are set forth in such tenders. Others will not be permitted to
submit tenders except for their own account. Tenders will be received without deposit from incorporated banks and trust
companies and from responsible and recognized dealers in investment securities. Tenders from others must be accompanied
by payment of 2 percent of the face amount of Treasury bills applied for, unless the tenders are accompanied by an express guar­
anty of payment by an incorporated bank or trust company.
Immediately after the closing hour, tenders will be opened at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, following
which public announcement will be made by the Treasury Department of the amount and price range of accepted bids. Only
those submitting competitive tenders will be advised of the acceptance or rejection thereof. The 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. Subject to these reservations, noncompetitive 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 decimals) of accepted competitive bids for the respective
issues. Settlement for accepted tenders in accordance with the bids must be made or completed at the Federal Reserve Bank
on September 26, 1974, in cash or other immediately available funds or in a like face amount of Treasury bills maturing September
26, 1974. Cash and exchange tenders will receive equal treatment. Cash adjustments will be made for differences between the par
value of maturing bills accepted in exchange and the issue price of the new bills.
Under Sections 454 (b) and 1221 (5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 the amount of discount at which bills
issued hereunder 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 his 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.
Treasury Department Circular No. 418 (current revision) and this notice, prescribe the terms of the Treasury bills and
govern the conditions of their issue. Copies of the circular may be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch.

In accordance with the above announcement, tenders will be received at this bank and its branches at El Paso,
Houston and San Antonio up to twelve-thirty p.m.. Central Daylight Saving Time, Monday, September 23, 1974. Tenders
may not be entered by telephone.
Yours very truly,
P. E. Coldwell
