basis of 100, with not more th an three decimals, e.g., 99.925. F ractions m ay not be used. (N otw ithstanding th e fact th a t the oneyear bills will run for 365-days, th e discount rate will be com puted on a bank discount basis of 360-days, as is currently the
practice on all issues of T reasury bills.) I t is urged th a t tenders be m ade on the printed forms and forwarded in the special
envelopes which will be supplied by F ederal R eserve Banks or B ranches on application therefor.
Banking institutions generally m ay subm it tenders for account of customers provided the nam es of th e customers are

Im m ediately a fter th e closing hour, tenders will be opened a t th e Federal R eserve Banks and Branches, following which
public announcem ent will be m ade by the T reasury D epartm ent of th e am ount and price range of accepted bids. Only those sub­
m itting com petitive tenders will be advised of the acceptance or rejection thereof. T he Secretary of th e T reasury 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, noncom petitive tenders for each issue for $200,000 or less w ithout stated price from any one
bidder will be accepted in full a t th e average price (in three decim als) of accepted com petitive bids for the respective issues.
Settlem ent for accepted tenders in accordance w ith th e bids m ust be m ade or com pleted a t th e F ederal Reserve Bank on June
30, 1970, in cash or other im m ediately available funds or in a like face am ount of Treasury bills m aturing Ju n e 30, 1970.
Cash and exchange tenders will receive equal treatm ent. Cash adjustm ents will be m ade for differences between th e p ar value
of m aturing bills accepted in exchange and th e issue price of the new bills.
T he income derived from T reasury bills, w hether interest or gain from th e sale or other disposition of th e bills, does not
have any exem ption, as such, and loss from th e sale or other disposition of T reasury bills does not have any special treatm ent,
as such, under the Internal R evenue Code of 1954. T he bills are subject to estate, inheritance, gift or other excise taxes, w hether
F ederal or State, b u t are exem pt from all taxation now or hereafter imposed on th e principal or interest thereof by any State,
or any of the possessions of th e U nited States, or by any local taxing authority. F o r purposes of taxation th e am ount of discount
a t which T reasury bills are originally sold by th e U nited States is considered to be interest. U nder Sections 454 (b ) and 1221 (5 )
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 the am ount of discount a t which bills issued hereunder are sold is not considered to
accrue until such bills are sold, redeem ed or otherwise disposed of, and such bills are excluded from consideration as capital
assets. Accordingly, th e owner of T reasury bills (o th er th an life insurance com panies) issued hereunder need include in his
income tax retu rn only the difference between the price paid for such bills, w hether on original issue or on subsequent purchase,
and th e am ount actually received either upon sale or redem ption a t m atu rity during th e taxable year for which th e return is
made, as ordinary gain or loss.
T reasury D epartm ent C ircular No. 418 (cu rren t revision) and this notice, prescribe th e term s of th e T reasury bills and
govern th e conditions of th eir issue. Copies of th e circular may be obtained from any F ederal Reserve B ank or Branch.

In accordance with the above announcement, tenders will be received a t this bank an d its branches a t El Paso,
Houston and San Antonio up to twelve-thirty p.m., Central Daylight Saving Time, Tuesday, June 23, 1970. Tenders may
not be entered by telephone.

P. E. Coldwell

IMPORTANT
1. No tender for less than $10,000 will be considered and each tender must be for an amount in multiples of $10,000
(m aturity value).
2. Tenders should be forwarded in an envelope clearly addressed to this bank or appropriate branch as Fiscal Agent of the
United States, with notation on the envelope reading “TENDER FOR TREASURY O FFER IN G ”. Since envelopes
received with this legend will not be opened until after the closing time specified in the public announcement, communi­
cations relating to other m atters should not be enclosed. Envelopes for submitting tenders may be obtained from this
bank or appropriate branch.
3. Any qualified or conditional tender will be rejected.
4. If a corporation makes the tender, the form should be signed by an officer of the corporation authorized to make the
tender and the signing of the form by an officer of the corporation will be construed as a representation by him th a t he
has been so authorized. If the tender is made by a partnership it should be signed by a member of the firm, who
should sign in the form “____________________________, a copartnership, by----------------------------------------------------------- ,
a member of the firm”.
5. Tenders from those other than incorporated banks and tru st companies or responsible and recognized dealers in invest­
ment securities will be disregarded, unless accompanied by a deposit of 2 percent of the total amount (m aturity value)
of the Treasury bills applied for, or unless the tenders are accompanied by an express guaranty of full payment by an
incorporated bank or tru st company.
6. If the language of this form is changed in any respect, which, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Treasury is
material, the tender may be disregarded.
