Circular No. 73-160
June 30, 1973

To All Qualified Issuing Agents for United States
Savings Bonds in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District:
Because action on debt-limit legislation has not been
completed, it is necessary to suspend issuance of Series E and H
savings bonds until further notice.
It is believed that action -will be completed shortly,
making it possible to resume normal issuance of bonds. A short
delay in issuance of bonds will not cause loss to purchasers or
disruption of payroll savings plans because all bonds issued in
July -will earn interest from July 1.
Companies and others operating payroll savings plans
should be requested to continue -withholding but to retain proceeds
in special accounts; proceeds should not be remitted to Federal
Reserve Bank’s or bonds issued until further notice.
Applications may be accepted over the counter and on
bond-a-month plans, but bonds may not be issued until further
notice.
