tender m ust be for an even m ultiple of $10,000, and in the case of com petitive tenders the price offered m ust be expressed on the
basis of 100, with not more th a n three decimals, e.g., 99.925. Fractions m ay not be used. (N otw ithstanding the fact th a t th e oneyear bills will run for 365-days, the 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 prin ted forms and forwarded in th e special
envelopes which will be supplied by F ederal R eserve B anks or Branches on application therefor.
Banking institutions generally m ay subm it tenders for account of customers provided th e nam es of the customers are

T enders will be received w ithout deposit from incorporated banks and tru st companies and from responsible and recognized
dealers in investm ent securities. T enders from others m ust be accom panied by paym ent of 2 percent of the face am ount of

tru st company.
Im m ediately after 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 h e Secretary of the T reasury expressly
reserves the right to accept or reject any or all tenders, in whole or in p art, 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 the average price (in three decim als) of accepted com petitive bids for the respective issues.
Settlem ent for accepted tenders in accordance with the bids m ust be m ade or com pleted a t th e Federal R eserve B ank on August
31, 1970, in cash or other im m ediately available funds or in a like face am ount of T reasury bills m aturing A ugust 31, 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 the 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 th e Internal Revenue Code of 1954. T h e bills are subject to estate, inheritance, gift or other excise taxes, w hether
Federal 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 th e 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 than life insurance com panies) issued hereunder need include in his
income tax retu rn only the difference between th e 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 aturity during the taxable year for which the return is
made, as ordinary gain or loss.
T reasury D epartm ent Circular 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 m ay be obtained from any F ederal Reserve B ank or Branch.

In accordance with the ab ove announcement, tenders will be received at this bank and its branches at El Paso,
Houston and San Antonio up to twelve-thirty p.m., Central Daylight Saving Time, Tuesday, August 25, 1970. Tenders may

Yours very truly,
P. E. Coldwell
President
