T he bills of both series will be issued on a discount basis under com petitive and noncom petitive bidding as hereinafter provided, and at maturity their face am ount will be payable without interest. T h e y will be issued in bearer form only, and in denom inations of $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $50,000, $100,000, $500,000 and $1,000,000 (m aturity v alu e). Tenders will be received at Federal R eserve Banks and Branches up to the closing hour, one-thirty p.m., Eastern Standard T im e, W ednesday, March 26, 1969. Tenders will not be received at the Treasury Departm ent, Washington. Each tender must be for an even m ultiple of $1,000, and in the case of com petitive tenders the price offered m ust be expressed on the basis of 100, with not more than three decimals, e.g., 99.925. Fractions m ay not be used. (N otw ithstanding the fact that the 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 Treasury bills.) It is urged that tenders be m ade on the printed forms and forwarded in the special envelopes which will be supplied by Federal R eserve Banks or Branches on application therefor. Banking institutions generally m ay submit tenders for account of customers provided the names of the customers are set forth in such tenders. Others than banking institutions w ill not be perm itted to submit tenders except for their own account. Tenders will be received without deposit from incorporated banks and trust companies and from responsible and recognized dealers in investm ent securities. Tenders from others m ust be accompanied by paym ent of 2 percent of the face am ount of Treasury bills applied for, unless the tenders are accompanied by an express guaranty of paym ent by an incorporated bank or trust company. Im m ediately after the closing hour, tenders will be opened at the Federal R eserve Banks and Branches, following which public announcement will be made by the Treasury Departm ent of the am ount and price range of accepted bids. Those submitting tenders will be advised o f the acceptance or rejection thereof. T he Secretary of the Treasury 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 without stated price from any one bidder will be accepted in full at 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 at the Federal Reserve Bank on March 31, 1969, in cash or other im m ediately available funds or in a like face amount of Treasury bills maturing March 31, 1969. Cash and exchange tenders will receive equal treatment. Cash adjustments will be made for differences between the par value of maturing bills accepted in exchange and the issue price of the new bills. T h e incom e derived from Treasury bills, whether interest or gain from the sale or other disposition of the bills, does not have any exemption, as such, and loss from the sale or other disposition of Treasury bills does not have any special treatment, as such, under the Internal R evenue Code of 1954. T he bills are subject to estate, inheritance, gift or other excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but are exem pt from all taxation now or hereafter im posed on the principal or interest thereof by any State, or any of the possessions of the United States, or by any local taxing authority. For purposes of taxation the amount of discount at which Treasury bills are originally sold by the U nited States is considered to be interest. Under Sections 454 (b ) and 1221 ( 5 ) of the Internal R evenue Code of 1954 the amount of discount at 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, the owner of Treasury bills (other than life insurance com panies) issued hereunder need include in his income tax return only the difference between the price paid for such bills, whether on original issue or on subsequent purchase, and the am ount actually received either upon sale or redem ption at maturity during the taxable year for which the return is made, as ordinary gain or loss. Treasury D epartm ent Circular No. 418 (current revision) and this notice, prescribe the terms of the Treasury bills and govern the conditions of their issue. Copies of the circular m ay be obtained from any Federal R eserve Bank or Branch.
