FO R RELEA SE, M O RN ING N E W SPA PE R S, TREA SU RY D EPA R TM EN T Friday, December 3, 1948. W ashington The Secretary of the Treasury, by this public notice, invites tenders for $900,000,000, or thereabouts, of 91-day T reas ury bills, for cash and in exchange for Treasury bills m aturing December 9, 1948, to be issued on a discount basis under com petitive and non-competitive bidding as hereinafter provided. The bills of this series will be dated December 9, 1948, and will mature M arch 10, 1949, when the face amount will be payable without interest. They will be issued in bearer form only, and in denominations of $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $100,000, $500,000, and $1,000,000 (m aturity value). Tenders will be received at Federal Reserve Banks and Branches up to the closing hour, two o’clock p.m., Eastern Standard time, Monday, December 6, 1948. Tenders will not be received at the T reasury Department, W ashington. Each tender must be for an even multiple of $1,000, and in the case of competitive tenders the price offered must be expressed on the basis of 100, with not more than three decimals, e. g., 99.925. Fractions may not be used. 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 from incorporated banks and trust companies and from responsible and recognized dealers in investment securities. Tenders from others must be accompanied by payment of 2 percent of the face amount of Treasury bills applied for, unless the tenders are accompanied by an express guaranty of payment by an incorporated bank or trust company. Immediately after the closing hour, tenders will be opened at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, following which public announcement will be made by the Secretary of the T reasury of the amount and price range of accepted bids. Those submitting tenders will be advised o f ’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, non-competitive tenders for $200,000 or less without stated price from any one bidder will be accepted in full at the average price (in three decimals) of accepted competitive bids. Settlement for accepted tenders in accordance with the bids must be made or completed at the Federal Reserve Bank on December 9, 1948, in cash or other immediately available funds or in a like face amount of T reasury bills maturing December 9, 1948. Cash and exchange tenders will re ceive equal treatment. Cash adjustments will be made for differences between the par value of maturing bills accepted in ex change and the issue price of the new bills. The income derived from T reasury bills, whether interest or gain from the sale or other disposition of the bills, shall not have any exemption, as such, and loss from the sale or other disposition of Treasury bills shall not have any special treatment, as such, under the Internal Revenue Code, or laws amendatory or supplementary thereto. The bills shall be subject to estate, inheritance, gift or other excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but shall be exempt from all taxation now or hereafter imposed on the principal or interest thereof by any State, or any of the possessions of the United States, or by any local taxing authority. For purposes of taxation the amount of discount at which Treasury bills are originally sold by the United States shall be considered to be interest. Under Sections 42 and 117 (a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended by Section 115 of the Revenue Act 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 or otherwise disposed of, and such bills are excluded from consideration as capital assets. Accordingly, the owner of Treasury bills (other than life insurance com panies) 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 subsequent purchase, and the amount actually received either upon sale or redemption at m aturity during the taxable year for which the return is made, as ordinary gain or loss. T reasury Department Circular No. 418, as amended, and this notice, prescribe the terms of the T reasury bills and govern the conditions of their issue. Copies of the circular may be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch.
