It is urged that tenders be made on the printed forms and forwarded in the special envelopes which will be supplied by Federal Reserve Banks or Branches on application therefor. Tenders will be received without deposit f r o m incorporated banks and trust companies and f r o m responsible and recognized dealers in investment securities.

Immediately after the closing hour, tenders will be opened at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, following which public announcement will be made b y the Secretary of the Treasury of the amount and price range of accepted bids. T h o s e submitting tenders will be advised of the acceptance or rejection thereof. T h e Secretary of the Treasury expressly reserves the right to accept or reject any o r all tenders, in whole or in part, and his action in any such respect shall be final. Subject to these reservations, tenders for $200,000 o r less f r o m any one bidder at 99.905 entered on a fixed-price basis will be accepted in full. Payment of accepted tenders at the prices offered must be made o r completed at the Federal Reserve Bank in cash o r other immediately available funds on May 31, 1945. T h e income derived from Treasury bills, whether interest or gain f r o m the sale or other disposition of the bills, shall not have any exemption, as such, and loss f r o m the sale o r other disposition of Treasury bills shall not have any special treatment, as such, under Federal tax A c t s now o r hereafter enacted. T h e bills shall be subject to estate, inheritance, gift, o r other excise taxes, whether Federal o r State, but shall be exempt f r o m all taxation now or hereafter imposed on the principal or interest thereof by any State, o r any of the possessions of the United States, or by any local taxing authority.

Under Sections 42 and 117 ( a ) ( 1 ) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended by Section 115 of the Revenue A c t of 1941, the amount of discount at which bills issued hereunder are sold shall not be considered to accrue until such bills shall be sold, redeemed o r otherwise disposed of, and such bills are excluded f r o m consideration as capital assets. Accordingly, the owner of Treasury bills (other than life insurance companies) issued hereunder need include in his income tax return only the difference between the price paid for such bills, whether on original issue or on subseauent purchase, and the amount actually received either upon sale o r redemption at maturity during the taxable year for which the return is made, as ordinary gain o r loss. Treasury Department Circular N o . 418, as amended, and this notice, prescribe the terms of the Treasury bills and govern the conditions of their issue.
