subscriptions for this issue.
II. DESCRIPTION OF BONDS

4 percent per annum, payable on a semiannual basis on February 15 and August 15, 1964, and thereafter
on February 15 and August 15 in each year until the principal amount becomes payable. They will

2. The income derived from the bonds is subject to all taxes imposed under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1954. The bonds are subject to estate, inheritance, gift or other excise taxes, whether Federal

in payment of taxes.

will be issued in denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $100,000 and $1,000,000. Provision

and for the transfer of registered bonds, under rules and regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the
Treasury.
5. The bonds will be subject to the general regulations of the Treasury Department, now or hereafter
prescribed, governing United States bonds.
III. SUSCRIPTION AND ALLOTMENT
1. Subscriptions will be received at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches and at the Office
of the Treasurer of the United States, Washington 25, D. C. Only the Federal Reserve Banks and the
Treasury Department are authorized to act as official agencies. Commercial banks, which for this purpose
are defined as banks accepting demand deposits, may submit subscriptions for account of customers
provided the names of the customers are set forth in such subscriptions. Others than commercial banks
will not be permitted to enter subscriptions except for their own account. Subscriptions from commercial
banks for their own account will be restricted in each case to an amount not exceeding 10 percent of
the combined amount of time and savings deposits, including time certificates of deposit, or 25 percent
of the combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of the subscribing bank, whichever is greater.
Subscriptions will be received without deposit from banking institutions for their own account, Federallyinsured savings and loan associations, States, political subdivisions or instrumentalities thereof, public
pension and retirement and other public funds, international organizations in which the United States
holds membership, foreign central banks and foreign States, 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. Subscriptions from all others must be accom­
panied by payment of 10 percent of the amount of bonds applied for, not subject to withdrawal until
after allotment. Following allotment, any portion of the 10 percent payment in excess of 10 percent of
the amount of bonds allotted may be released upon the request of the subscribers.

2. All subscribers requesting registered bonds will be required to furnish appropriate identifying
numbers as required on tax returns and other documents submitted to the Internal Revenue Service,
i.e., an individual’s social security number or an employer identification number.
3. All subscribers are required to agree not to purchase or to sell, or to make any agreements with
respect to the purchase or sale or other disposition of any bonds of this issue, until after midnight

4. Commercial banks in submitting subscriptions will be required to certify that they have no
beneficial 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 bonds 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,
subscriptions for amounts up to and including $100,000 will be allotted in full, and subscriptions for
amounts over $100,000 will be allotted on a percentage basis, but not less than $100,000 on any one
subscription. The basis of the allotment will be publicly announced, and allotment notices will be sent
out promptly upon allotment.
IV. PAYMENT
1. Payment at par and accrued interest, if any, for bonds allotted hereunder must be made or
completed on or before June 20, 1963, or on later allotment. Payment will not be deemed to have been
completed where registered bonds are requsted 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 payment is not so
completed, the payment with application up to 10 percent of the amount of bonds allotted shall, upon
declaration made by the Secretary of the Treasury in his discretion, be forfeited to the United States.
Any qualified depositary will be permitted to make payment by credit in its Treasury Tax and Loan
Account for bonds allotted to it for itself and its customers up to any amount for which it shall be
qualified in excess of existing deposits, when so notified by the Federal Reserve Bank of its District.

receive subscriptions, to make allotments on the basis and up to the amounts indicated by the Secretary
of the Treasury to the Federal Reserve Banks of the respective Districts, to issue allotment notices, to
receive payment for bonds allotted, to make delivery of bonds on full-paid subscriptions allotted, and
they may issue interim receipts pending delivery of the definitive bonds.
2. The Secretary of the Treasury may at any time, or from time to time, prescribe supplemental
or amendatory rules and regulations governing the offering, which will be communicated promptly to
the Federal Reserve Banks.
