DETAILS OF TREASURY AUCTION OF $2.0 BILLION OF NOTES

The $2.0 billion, or thereabouts, of 2-year Treasury Notes to be
sold at auction under competitive and noncompetitive bidding will be 6$>
Treasury Notes of Series E-197^-, dated October 19, 1972, due September 30,
197*+ (CUSIP No. 912827 CU^).
The notes will be issued in registered and bearer form in denomina­
tions of $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $100,000 and $1,000,000. Interest will be
payable on March 31 and September 30 until maturity.
Tenders for the notes will be received up to 1:30 p.m., Eastern
Daylight Saving Time, Wednesday, October 11, 1972, at any Federal Reserve Bank
or Branch and at the Office of the Treasurer of the United States, Securities
Division, Washington, D. C. 20220; provided, however, that noncompetitive
tenders will be considered timely received if they are mailed to any such
agency under a postmark no later than Tuesday, October 10.
Each tender must be in the amount of $1,000 or a multiple thereof,
and must state the price offered, if it is a competitive tender, or the term
"noncompetitive", if it is a noncompetitive tender. The price on competitive
tenders must be expressed on the basis of 100, with two decimals, e.g., 100.00.
Tenders at a price less than 99*76 will not be accepted. Fractions may not
be used. The notation "TENDER FOR TREASURY NOTES" should be printed at the
bottom of the envelope in which the tender is submitted.
Public announcement will be made of the amount and price range of
accepted tenders. Those submitting tenders will be advised of the acceptance
or rejection thereof. The Secretary of the Treasury expressly reserves the
right to accept or reject any or all tenders, in whole or in part, and his
action in any such respect shall be final. Subject to these reservations
noncompetitive tenders for $200,000 or less will be accepted in full at the
average price (in two decimals) of accepted competitive tenders. This price
may be 100.00, or more or less than 100.00.
Commercial banks, which for this purpose are defined as banks accepting
demand deposits, may submit tenders for account of customers provided the names
of the customers are set forth in such tenders. Others than commercial banks
will not be permitted to submit tenders except for their own account.
Tenders will be received without deposit from commercial and other
banks for their own account, Federally-insured savings and loan associations,
States, political subdivisions or instrumentalities thereof, public pension
and retirement and other public funds, international organizations in which
the United States holds membership, foreign central banks and foreign States,
dealers who make primary markets in Government securities and report daily to
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York their positions with respect to Government
securities and borrowings thereon, and Government accounts. Tenders from others
must be accompanied by payment of 5 percent of the face amount of notes applied
for.
Payment for accepted tenders must be completed on or before Thursday,
October 19, 1972, at the Federal Reserve Bank or Branch or at the Office of the

Treasurer of the United States in cash or other funds immediately available
to the Treasury by that date. Any qualified depositary will be permitted to
make settlement by credit in its Treasury tax and loan account for the amount
of the notes allotted to it for itself and its customers. Where full payment
is not completed in funds available by the payment date, the allotment will
be canceled and the deposit with the tender up to 5 percent of the amount of
notes allotted will be subject to forfeiture to the United States.
The Treasury will construe as timely payment any check payable to
the Federal Reserve Bank or the Treasurer of the United States that is received
at such bank or office by Monday, October l6 , 1972, provided the check is drawn
on a bank in the Federal Reserve District of the bank or office to which the
tender is submitted. Other checks will constitute payment only if they are
fully and finally collected by the payment date Thursday, October 19? 1972.
Checks not so collected will subject the investor’s deposit to forfeiture as
set forth in the preceding paragraph. A check payable other than at a Federal
Reserve Bank received on the payment date will not constitute immediately
available funds on that date.
Commercial banks are prohibited from making unsecured loans, or
loans collateralized in whole or in part by the notes bid for, to cover the
deposits required to be paid when tenders are entered, and they will be required
to make the usual certification to that effect. Other lenders are requested to
refrain from making such loans.
All bidders are required to agree not to purchase or to sell, or to
make any agreements with respect to the purchase or sale or other disposition
of the notes bid for under this offering at a specific rate or price, until
after 1:30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Wednesday, October 11, 1972.
