federal reserve Ba nk of Dallas FISCAL AGENT OF THE UNITED STATES D ALLAS, TEXAS 7 5 2 2 2 Circular No. 72-57 March 22, 1972 To All Banking Institutions and Others Concerned in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District: The following release was given to the press by the Treasury and is provided.for your information: TREASURY ANNOUNCES FINANCING PLANS The Treasury Department announced today that it is discontinuing for the time being the additions to the weekly hills which had been initiated on February 17. A total of $1.8 billion of new cash has been raised through these additions. The Department also announced that it is offering for auction on Tuesday, March 28, $1-3/^- billion or thereabouts of a 3-year 5-7/8 percent note maturing on May 15, 1975. Payment for the notes, to be issued on April 3, 1972, may he made through Treasury Tax and Loan Accounts. The sale of the note is expected to meet cash requirements through at least mid-May, when there is a regular quarterly refunding. The reduction in the TreasuryT cash requirements s from earlier projections primarily reflects larger current revenue collections than previously anticipated. The improvement in the revenues appears related to some over withholding of personal income taxes following the change in withholding schedules required by the Revenue Act of 1971 and made effective in January. Overwithholding can he eliminated by actions by taxpayers themselves. In particular, taxpayers with only one wage earner in the family or in higher income brackets with larger than normal itemized deductions may find it desirable to adjust the number of their exemptions for withholding This publication was digitized and made available by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas' Historical Library (FedHistory@dal.frb.org) - 2 purposes, as permitted by law, to bring the amounts withheld into close relation to their ultimate tax liability. The Treasury also noted it is reviewing the pos sibility of introducing some changes in its financing techniques to identify ways its routine debt management operations, including both its refunding and new cash raising operations, might he facilitated. Pending completion of this review, no announcement of changes are anticipated over the next month. Also enclosed is the Treasury release pertaining to the new note as well as the official offering Circular No. 1+-72 and tender form. Yours very truly, P. E. Coldwell President .
