Treasury Announces One Billion New Cash Borrowing and
Regular One-Year Bill

The Treasury D epartm ent announced today that it is offering an additional $1 billion, or there­
abouts, of the 3 7
/s% notes due August 13, 1965, that were originally issued as part of the February
refunding offering which was made two months ago. Public holdings of this issue are $2.2 billion, a
comparatively small amount for a quarterly maturity. The additional $1 billion offering will bring the
total maturing on this quarterly date more nearly in line with other quarterly m aturities and help to
broaden the m arket tradeability of the issue. The notes are to be offered at a price of $99.70 (to yield
about 4.10 percent), plus accrued interest from February 15, 1964, to April 8, 1964 ($5.64217
per $1,000).
Subscriptions will be received for one day only, on Tuesday, March 31. All subscriptions for the
notes addressed to a Federal Reserve Bank or Branch, or to the Treasurer of the United States,
Washington, D. C. 20220, and placed in the mail before midnight M arch 31 will be considered as timely.

Paym ent may be made through credit to Treasury Tax and Loan accounts and will be due on
April 8.
At the same time the Treasury announced its customary monthly offering of $ 1 billion of one-year
Treasury bills. The auction will occur on Friday, April 3. Paym ent will be due on Wednesday, April 8,
and may be made with 50 percent credit to Treasury Tax and Loan accounts. Full details are contained
in the Treasury’s release inviting tenders for the bills.
Interest on the notes will be paid on August 15, 1964, and February 15 and August 13, 1965.
