Thursday, October 18, 1956.
Washington
The Treasury 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 Treasury bills m aturing October 25, 1956, in the amount of $1,599,816,000, to be issued on
a discount basis under competitive and noncompetitive bidding as hereinafter provided. The bills of this series will be dated
October 25, 1956, and will m ature January 24, 1957, 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
Daylight Saving time, Monday, October 22, 1956. Tenders will not be received at the Treasury Department, Washington.
E ach 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.
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 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 at 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 a t the Federal Reserve Bank on October 25, 1956, in cash or other immediately
available funds or in a like face amount of Treasury bills m aturing October 25, 1956. Cash and exchange tenders will re­
ceive equal treatment. 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. U nder
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 T reasury 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 terms 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.

T his B ank will receive tenders up to 2 p.m., Eastern D aylight Saving time, M onday, O ctober 22, 1956, at the
Securities Departm ent of its H ead 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 for the Treasury bills
cannot be made by credit through the Treasury T a x and Loan Account. Settlem ent m ust be made in cash or other
immediately available funds or in maturing Treasury bills.
