Dallas, Texas, June 17, 1946

EXCHANGE OFFERING ON ALLOTMENT BASIS

To All Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned,
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District:

There is reproduced on the reverse side hereof Treasury Department Circular No. 790 dated
June 14, 1946, in which the Secretary of the Treasury offers % % Treasury Certificates of Indebt­
edness of Series F-1947, on an exchange basis, to holders of Treasury Notes of Series D-1946,
maturing July 1, 1946. Since it is planned to retire about $2,000,000,000 of the maturing notes by
redemption in cash, subscriptions will be received subject to allotment to all holders on an equal
percentage basis except that subscriptions in amounts up to $25,000 will be allotted in full. Cash
subscriptions will not be received.
The new certificates will be dated July 1, 1946, and will bear interest from that date at the rate
of % % per annum, payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1, 1947. They will be issued in
bearer form only, with two interest coupons attached, in denominations of $1,000, $5,000, $10,000,
$100,000 and $1,000,000.
The books for the receipt of subscriptions to this exchange offering will be opened on Wednes­
day, June 19, 1946. In view of the percentage allotment, it is important that subscribers tender
maturing notes in an amount equal to the amount of new certificates subscribed for or arrange for
delivery of the maturing notes to this bank or one of its branches prior to the closing dates. If the
maturing notes are held in safekeeping at this bank or one of its branches, please so indicate on the
subscription form. Arrangements should be made to substitute other securities for any maturing
pledged notes to be tendered in order that the maturing notes may be available to support the sub­
scription prior to the closing dates.
Subscriptions will be received at this bank and its branches at El Paso, Houston and San
Antonio, and should be submitted on the enclosed form. It is urged that subscriptions be entered on
the subscription forms rather than by letters or otherwise. Additional subscription forms will be
forwarded upon request.
CLOSING OF SUBSCRIPTION BOOKS

The subscription books will close at the close of business Friday, June 21, except for the receipt
of subscriptions from holders of $25,000 or less of the maturing notes. The subscription books will
close for receipt of subscriptions of the latter class at the close of business Monday, June 24. No
further closing announcement will be made.
Subscriptions addressed to a Federal Reserve bank or branch or to the Treasury Department,
and placed in the mail before midnight of the respective closing days, will be considered as having
been entered before the close of the subscription books.

Yours very truly,
R. R. GILBERT
President
