Washington The T reasury Department, by this public notice, invites tenders for $1,600,000,000, or thereabouts, of 91-day Treasury bills, for cash and in exchange for T reasury bills maturing A ugust 16, 1956, in the amount of $1,600,678,000, to be issued on a discount basis under competitive and noncompetitive bidding as hereinafter provided. The bills of this series will be dated August 16, 1956, and will mature November 15, 1956, 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 a t Federal Reserve Banks and Branches up to the closing hour, one-thirty o’clock p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Monday, August 13, 1956. Tenders will not be received at the Treasury Department, Washington. 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. O thers 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 tru st companies and from responsible and recognized dealers in in vestment 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 a t the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, following which public announcement will be made by the Treasury Department of the amount and price range of accepted bids. Those submitting tenders will be advised of 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, noncompetitive 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 August 16, 1956, in cash or other immediately available funds or in a like face amount of Treasury bills m aturing August 16, 1956. Cash and exchange tenders will re ceive equal treatement. Cash adjustments will be made for differences between the par value of m aturing bills accepted in exchange and the issue price of the new bills. The income derived from Treasury bills, whether interest or gain from the sale or other disposition of the bills, does not have any exemption, as such, and loss from the sale or other disposition of Treasury bills does not have any special treat ment, as such, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. The bills are subject to estate, inheritance, gift or other excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but are 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 is considered to be interest. Under Sections 454(b) and 1221(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 the amount of discount at which bills issued hereunder are sold is not considered to accrue until such bills are 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 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 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, Revised, and this notice, prescribe the term s of the Treasury bills and govern the conditions of their issue. Copies of the circular may be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch. This Bank will receive tenders up to 1 :30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Monday, August 13, 1956, at the Securi ties Departm ent of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch. Please use the form on the reverse side of this circular to subm it a tender, and return it in an envelope m arked “Tender for T reasury Bills.” Tenders may be subm itted by telegraph, subject to written confirmation; they may not be submitted by telephone. Paym ent jor the Treasury bills cannot be made by credit through the Treasury T a x and Loan Account. Settlem ent must be made in cash or other immediately available funds or in maturing Treasury bills. A l f r e d H a y e s , President.
