TREASURY CASH FINANCING

To All Banking Institutions and Others Concerned

There is quoted below a press statement issued today by the Treasury Department in
regard to current financing:
Treasury Borrowing Plans

T he Treasury announced today the first steps in the program of borrowing to
m eet cash needs during the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1967.
On July 5, the Treasury plans to sell, through competitive auction, $4 billion
of Tax Anticipation bills maturing in March and April 1968. The $4 billion total
includes $2 billion of bills maturing March 22, 1968, and $2 billion of bills maturing
April 22, 1968, which may be used at face value in payment of taxes due, respectively,
on March 15 and April 15, 1968. The bills are to be issued and paid for on July 11,
1967. Commercial banks may make payment for the bills by crediting Treasury Tax
and Loan accounts.
The Treasury also announced that weekly offering of 3-month bills would be
enlarged by $100 million, commencing with the bills to be auctioned on July 10.
This means that weekly bill offerings will include $1.4 billion of 3-month bills and
$1.0 billion of 6-month bills. This will raise $1.3 billion of new cash over the course
of three months.
Further, it is planned that subsequent offerings of bills maturing on month-end
dates will include $1 billion of 1-year bills and $500 million of 9-month bills. This will
raise $900 million of new cash over the course of the next fiscal year.
Finally, it was indicated that additional cash borrowing will be needed after the
August 1967 refunding, and that plans for this borrowing will be announced when the
needs have been evaluated more precisely and the financing program formulated.
Official announcements and tender forms for the two new series of Tax Anticipation bills
are enclosed, and additional copies will be furnished upon request. Tenders should be forwarded
in distinctively marked envelopes to reach this bank or appropriate branch before the closing
time, twelve-thirty p.m., Central Daylight Saving Time, Wednesday, July 5, 1967. Tenders may
not be entered by telephone.
Yours very truly,
Watrous H. Irons
President
