Circular No. 7^-215
August 2, 197^

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

Quoted below is the text of a statement issued by
the Treasury Department today concerning the interest rates for the
two notes to be auctioned Tuesday and Wednesday.

COUPON RATES ANNOUNCED FOR NEW TREASURY NOTE ISSUES
The Treasury has set a coupon rate of 9°lo for both the
$2.25 billion of 33-month notes and the $1.75 billion of 6-year
notes, the sale of which was announced on July 31. The series
titles will be 9 percent Treasury Notes of Series D-1977 and
9 percent Treasury Notes of Series B-I98O. The 33-nionth notes
will be auctioned on Tuesday, August 6 , and the 6-year notes
will be auctioned on Wednesday, August 7.
The public should be aware that in an auction the prices
bid are not necessarily at par. The average price at which
noncompetitive tenders are awarded may therefore be more or
less than par, and subscribers may have to pay slightly more
or less than $1,000 for each $1,000 face amount of securities.
Additional copies of this circular will be furnished upon
request.
Yours very truly,
P. E. Coldwell
President
