FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF DALLAS
FISCAL. A G E N T OF THE UNITED STATES
Dallas, Texas, April 29, 1952
REVISION OF SAVINGS BOND PROGRAM
To All Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District:
As outlined in the enclosed copy of a press statement issued today by Secretary of
the Treasury Snyder, several very important changes will be made in the Treasury’s
savings bond program effective May 1, 1952.
United States Savings Bonds of Series E bearing issue dates of May 1952 and subse
quent months will be revised as to terms and conditions. Sales of United States Savings
Bonds of Series F and Series G will terminate as of April 30, 1952. They will be replaced
by United States Savings Bonds of Series J and Series K on May 1. Also, a new current
income bond, United States Savings Bond of Series H, will be placed on sale June 1, 1952.
Treasury Department Circulars No. 653, Third Revision, and No. 906 covering the revised
Series E bonds and the bonds of Series J and Series K are enclosed. The circular for the
the Series H bonds will be mailed as soon as available.
The revised Series E bonds with certain improvements are in general a continuation
of the Series E bonds heretofore available. In addition to the increased yield outlined in
paragraph 1 of the Treasury Department’s press statement, the annual limitation on
purchases has been increased from the $10,000 maturity value now in effect to $20,000
maturity value. Revised application forms will be furnished as soon as the present supply
is exhausted.
The revised terms and conditions automatically will apply to all Series E bonds bear
ing issue dates of May 1952 and subsequent months as fully as if expressly set forth in
the text of the bonds themselves. Such bonds will earn the increased values set forth in
the new tables, and whenever presented (not less than two months from the issue dates)
they will be paid by authorized paying agents at the higher values. Issuing agents, there
fore, should continue to issue the present stock of bonds until new stock is available, which
may be several months.
Purchasers of Series E bonds of the present stock bearing issue dates of May 1952
or later may exchange such bonds at any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch or at the
Treasury Department for bonds of the new form, when available, of like denominations,
registrations and issue dates if they so desire. Such exchanges, however, are not necessary
since the purchasers will receive the full benefit of the higher redemption values and other
privileges without such exchanges.
This publication was digitized and made available by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas' Historical Library (FedHistory@dal.frb.org)
Owners of the revised Series E bonds may, if they desire, continue their investment
by holding the bonds for an additional 10 years following maturity. Such bonds will earn
interest after maturity at the rate of approximately 3 percent per annum compounded
semiannually for each half year period of the extension period. Owners of the bonds also
may exchange them at maturity for the bonds of Series K in amounts of $500, maturity
value, or multiples thereof in accordance with the provisions of Department Circular No.
906. These privileges likewise will apply to all Series E bonds as they mature bearing
dates of May 1942 through April 1952.
The new bonds of Series J and Series K, which will replace the bonds of Series F and
Series G, respectively, are somewhat similar to the latter bonds. As outlined in paragraph
3 of the press statement, the yield of the new bonds has been increased substantially in
addition to doubling the annual purchase limitation to $200,000.
Application forms for the Series J and Series K bonds will be furnished as soon as
available. Until they are furnished, applications may be entered by letter furnishing details
as to inscriptions and denominations and accompanied by appropriate payment. Qualified
Treasury Tax and Loan Depositaries which desire to make payment through their Treas
ury Tax and Loan Accounts should accompany the applications by an appropriately com
pleted Form FA-794, Advice of Credit Treasury Tax and Loan Account. Until stocks of
the new bonds are available, purchasers of the bonds will receive interim receipts from
this bank or appropriate branch evidencing their purchases. These receipts should be
submitted to the appropriate office of this bank in exchange for the bonds as soon as they
are available. The bonds issued in exchange for interim receipts will have the same issue
dates as the corresponding interim receipts. Appropriate notice will be given to the
holders of the receipts when the bonds are available.
There are enclosed informal summaries of the terms and conditions of the revised
Series E bond and each of the three new series of savings bonds. These summaries should
prove helpful to officers and employees of banks and issuing agents in discussing the bonds
with their customers. The offering circulars, however, should be referred to for the official
and complete terms and conditions.
The official circular regarding the new Series H bonds which will be placed on sale
June 1 and which is outlined in paragraph 2 of the press statement, together with appro
priate application forms, will be forwarded prior to that date.
Yours very truly,
R. R. GILBERT
President
TREASURY DEPARTMENT
Washington
Release 12 O’Cloek Noon Eastern Daylight Saving Time, Tuesday, April 29, 1952
Secretary Snyder today announced a number of changes in United States Savings
Bonds to go into effect on May 1— the eleventh anniversary of the original offering of
Series E, F, and G Bonds.
Briefly, the changes are as follows:
1. Series E Bonds.
The first thing that has been done with respect to E Bonds issued on and after May 1,
1952, has been to improve the intermediate redemption schedule to give a higher return
in the earlier years. Interest will start at the end of six months instead of at the end of
one year as formerly. The rate accrued at the end of six months will be 1.07 percent; at
the end of one year, 1.59 percent; at the end of 2 years, 2.10 percent; at the end of 3 years,
2.25 percent; at the end of 5 years, 2.52 percent; and so on.
The overall interest rate on E Bonds has also been raised— from 2.9 percent to 3 per
cent compounded semiannually, the maximum permitted by the law. The $18.75 issue price
on a $25 bond has been retained— as has the $4 return for a $3 investment.
The change in the overall return has been effected by shortening the length of the
Series E Bond from 10 years to 9 years, 8 months. The new interest rate schedule does not
apply to bonds outstanding for the period up to their original maturity.
The interest rate on the E Bond during the extension period after maturity has also
been raised for all bonds which have not yet matured, so that the return will be 3 percent,
compounded semiannually, during the additional 10 years of an E Bond’s life under the
extension privilege. The new rates on the extension will not apply to bonds which have
matured prior to May 1, 1952.
In addition to these changes in the terms of E Bonds, the Treasury has doubled the
annual limit on E Bond purchases from the $10,000 maturity value now in effect to $20,000
maturity value.
New stocks of bonds with the new intermediate redemption values and the new matu
rity will not physically be available on May 1. The existing stock of E Bonds will be sold
throughout the period prior to the availability of new bond stock. Every E Bond sold after
May 1 will by regulation, however, obtain the revised terms and conditions. As soon as
new stock is available, any purchaser who wishes will be entitled to exchange his old
bond (if purchased on or after May 1, 1952) for a new one; but if he does not make the
exchange, he will still obtain the benefits of the revised scale, and paying agents will be
furnished new redemption schedules applying to the bonds issued on or after May 1, 1952.
2. New Current Income Bond.
The Treasury is also offering an entirely new current income savings bond to be des
ignated Series H which will have interest paid by check semiannually instead of having
the interest accrue. This bond will be a companion to the discount E Bond and will be pro
moted along with the E Bond. This bond will be available beginning on June 1. It will be
issued and redeemable at par. Interest will be paid by check semiannually on a graduated
scale of rates which has been put as close as possible to the E Bond scale. It will be issued
only to individuals; will have the same 9 year, 8 month term as E Bonds; and will have
a similar annual purchase limit of $20,000 maturity value. Unlike E Bonds, however, it
must be held six months, rather than two months, before it can be redeemed and it will
be redeemable only on one month’s notice; it will be issued and redeemable only at Fed
eral Reserve banks and branches and at the Treasury; and it will be offered with a mini
mum denomination of $500. Administratively, it is too costly to pay interest checks
semiannually on bonds in denominations of less than $500. Because the Series H Bond
and the E Bond are sold exclusively to individuals, and because they so closely resemble
each other in interest return, the Treasury will report combined sales of Series E and
Series H Bonds in the same way that Series F and Series G sales have been reported
together.
3. Series F and G Bonds.
The Treasury is also making significant changes and improvements in the F and G
Savings Bond picture. These two particular series are being withdrawn effective May 1,
and two new series of savings bonds to be known as Series J and Series K are being
substituted for them. Series J will be a revised Series F Bond, and Series K will be a
revised Series G Bond. The new series will differ from the old series primarily in their
higher interest rate schedules. They will pay 2% percent if held 12 years to maturity, and
will pay much higher intermediate yields than F and G Bonds. Series J and K Bonds will
pay approximately 1*4 percent if held for one year, U/2 percent if held for 2 years, 21/g
per cent if held for 5 years, and so on. The combined annual purchase limit for Series J
and K Bonds has been doubled to $200,000, as compared with $100,000 for Series F and G
Bonds. To save administrative expense the $100 denomination that was available in the
Series G Bond has been dropped, but all of the Series F denominations will be continued.
