made on the printed form s and forwarded in the special envelopes which will be supplied by Federal Reserve Banks or

Others than banking institutions will not be permitted to submit tenders except for their own account. Tenders will be
received without deposit from incorporated banks and trust com panies and from responsible and recognized dealers in invest­
ment securities. Tenders from others must be accompanied by payment o f 2 percent o f the face amount o f Treasury bills

Immediately after the closing hour, tenders w ill be opened at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, follow in g which
public announcement will be made by the Secretary o f the Treasury o f the amount and price range o f accepted bids. Those
submitting tenders will be advised o f the acceptance or rejection thereof. The Secretary o f 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-com petitive tenders for $200,000 or less without stated price from any one bidder will be accepted

T he incom e derived from Treasury bills, whether interest or gain from the sale or other disposition o f the bills, shall
not have any exemption, as such, and loss from the sale o r other disposition o f Treasury bills shall not have any special
treatment, as such, under the Internal Revenue Code, or laws amendatory or supplementary thereto. T h e bills shall be
subject to estate, inheritance, gift, or other excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but shall be exem pt from all taxation
now or hereafter im posed on the principal or interest thereof by any State, or any o f the possessions o f the United States,
or by any local taxing authority. F or purposes o f taxation the amount o f discount at w hich Treasury bills are originally
sold by the United States shall be considered to be interest. Under Sections 42 and 11 7(a )(1) o f the Internal Revenue
Code, as amended by Section 115 o f the Revenue A ct o f 1941, the amount o f 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. A ccordin gly, the owner o f Treasury bills (other than life insurance companies)
issued hereunder need include in his incom e 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 maturity
during the taxable year for which the return is made, as ordinary gain or loss.
