under m ust include in his income tax return, as ordinary gain or loss, the difference betw een 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 maturity 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 R eserve Bank or Branch.
