numbers as required on tax returns and other documents submitted to the Internal Revenue Service, i.e.,

ficial interest in any of the subscriptions they enter for the account of their customers, and that their
customers have no beneficial interest in the banks’ subscriptions for their own account.
5. The Secretary of the Treasury reserves the right to reject or reduce any subscription, to allot
less than the amount of notes applied for, and to make different percentage allotments to various classes
of subscribers; and any action he may take in these respects shall be final. Subject to these reservations
and the submission of a written certification by the subscriber that the amount of the subscription does
not exceed the amount of the two eligible securities (listed in Paragraph 1 of Section I ) owned or con­
tracted for purchase for value, at 4 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, October 23, 1963, all subscriptions

IV. PAYMENT
1. Payment at par and accrued interest, if any, for notes allotted hereunder must be made or com ­
pleted on or before November 15, 1963, or on later allotment. Payment will not be deemed to have been
completed where registered notes are requested if the appropriate identifying number, as required by
Paragraph 2 of Section III hereof, has not been furnished; provided, however, if a subscriber has applied
for but is unable to furnish the identifying number by the payment date only because it has not been
issued, he may elect to receive, pending the furnishing of the identifying number, interim receipts and
in this case payment will be deemed to have been completed. In every case where full payment is not
completed, the payment with application up to 2 percent of the amount of notes allotted shall, upon
declaration made by the Secretary of the Treasury in his discretion, be forfeited to the United States.
Payment may be made for any notes allotted hereunder in cash or by exchange of securities of the two
issues enumerated in Paragraph 1 of Section I hereof, which will be accepted at par. Where payment is
made with certificates or notes in bearer form, coupons dated November 15, 1963, should be detached
and cashed when due. In the case of registered notes, the final interest due on November 15, 1963, will
be paid by check drawn in accordance with the assignments on the notes surrendered, or by credit in any
account maintained by a banking institution with the Federal Reserve Bank of its District.
V. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTERED NOTES
1. Treasury Notes of Series C-1963 in registered form tendered as deposits and in payment for
notes allotted hereunder should be assigned by the registered payees or assignees thereof, in accordance
with the general regulations of the Treasury Department, in one of the forms hereafter set forth. Notes
tendered in payment should be surrendered to a Federal Reserve Bank or Branch or to the Office of
the Treasurer of the United States, Washington, D. C. 20220. The maturing notes must be delivered at
