Those submitting tenders will be advised o f the acceptance or rejection thereof. T he Secretary o f the Treasury expressly reserves the right to accept or reject any or all tenders, in w hole or in part, and his action in any such respect shall be final.

A ccordingly, the ow ner o f Treasury bills (other than life insurance com panies) 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.
