The bills of this series will be dated November 15, 1956, and will mature February 14, 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, one-thirty o’clock p.m., Eastern S tandard time, Friday, November 9, 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. I t 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 w ithout stated price from any one bidder will be accepted in full a t the average price (in three decimals) of accepted competitive bids. Settlement for_ accepted tenders in accordance w ith the bids must be made or completed at the Federal Reserve Bank on November 15, 1956, in cash or other immediately available funds or in a like face amount of Treasury bills maturing November 15, 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 o r 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 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 a t m aturity during the taxable year for which the return is made, as ordinary gain or loss. Treasury 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 o r Branch. T his B ank will receive tenders up to 1 :30 p.m., E astern S tandard time, F riday, November 9, 1956, at the Securi ties D epartm ent of its H ead Office and at its Buffalo B ranch.
