Dallas, Texas, April 17,1953

STATEMENT REGARDING ALLOTMENT OF CURRENT
CASH OFFERING

To All Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned,
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District:

There is quoted below a press statement released today concerning the
current cash offering of 3% percent Treasury Bonds of 1978-83:
“ Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey announced today that the
current cash offering of 3 % percent Treasury Bonds has been heavily
oversubscribed. Present indications are that total subscriptions when
processed will be about $5,500,000,000. Some subscriptions were
excessive in relation to the net worth of the subscribers, and the
Federal Reserve Banks are reviewing these subscriptions before
allotments can be made.
“ Precise allotments on this issue will be deferred until next week
in order to give time to complete this review. All subscriptions
accepted will be allotted on an equal percentage basis.”

Yours very truly,
R. R. GILBERT
President
