There are no bonds outstanding which qualify under that interest rate requirement. The T reasury D epartm ent im poses the follow in g conditions upon the redem ption o f bonds to pay F ed eral estate ta x e s : (1 ) The bonds must actually be owned by the decedent at the time o f his death and must consti tute a part o f his estate.

(3 ) The bonds must be submitted by the duly constituted representative o f the deceased ow n er’s ( o v e r ) estate to the Division o f Loans and Currency, W ashington 25, D.

(4 ) In order to secure proper paym ent and credit, the bonds must reach the Division o f Loans and Currency at least three fu ll weeks before the date upon which credit to the C ollector’s account is de sired ; unless otherwise requested, payment w ill be made and credit given as soon as possible follow ing receipt o f the bonds.

In either case, checks fo r the fu ll six m onths’ interest due on the last day o f the closed period will be forw arded in due course to the representative o f the estate o f the owner.
