REVISED TR E A SU R Y BILL TENDER FORM
The tender form for Treasury bills which appears on the reverse side of the enclosed circular has been
revised so that bidders may supply with their original tender the delivery and payment instructions, which up
to this time have been furnished on a “ Letter of Instructions” form mailed to successful bidders by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York after allotments have been made. It is believed that bidders on the noncompetitive
basis, in particular, will find this a convenience. Bidders on the competitive basis also may fill in the delivery
and payment instructions in the spaces provided on the tender form, although in the event o f a partial allotment
it may be necessary for this Bank to request additional instructions.
If special circumstances make it inconvenient to supply the delivery and payment instructions when
the tender form is prepared, these spaces may be left blank. In such instances the usual Letter of Instructions,
to be filled in and returned by the bidder, will be furnished by this Bank following allotment. However, if
mail schedules or possible mail delays might prevent receipt by this Bank of a Letter of Instructions by the
payment date, bidders are urged to supply complete instructions with the tender.
