under m ust include in his incom e tax return, as ordinary gain or loss, the difference between the price paid for the bills, whether on
original issue or on subsequent purchase, and the am ount actually received either upon sale or redem ption at m aturity during the
taxable year for which the return is made.

govern the conditions of their issue. Copies of the circular m ay be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch.
