T he Secretary o f the Treasury expressly reserves the right to accept or reject any o r all tenders, in w hole or in part, and his action in any such respect shall be final. Subject to these reservations, noncompetitive tenders fo r $200,000 o r less for the additional bills dated Decem ber 26, 1958 (91 days re maining until maturity date on June 25, 1959) and noncom petitive tenders for $50,000 or less io r the 182-day bills without stated price from any one bidder will be accepted in fu ll at the average price (in three decimals) o f accepted competitive bids io r the respective issues.

Cash and exchange tenders will receive equal treatment. Cash adjustments will be made for differences between the par value o f maturing bills accepted in exchange and the issue price o f the new bills. The income derived from Treasury bills, whether interest or gain from the sale or other disposition o f the bills, does not have any exemption, as such, and loss from the sale or other disposition o f Treasury bills does not have any special treat ment, as such, under the Internal Revenue Code o f 1954. The bills are subject to estate, inheritance, g ift or other excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but are exem pt from all taxa tion now or hereafter imposed on the principal or interest thereof by any State, or any o f the possessions o f the United States, o r by any local taxing authority. F or purposes o f taxa tion the amount o f discount at which Treasury bills are originally sold by the United States is considered to be interest. Under Sections 4 5 4 (b ) and 1221(5) o f the Internal Revenue Code o f 1954 the amount o f 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 ow ner o f Treasury bills (other than life insurance com panies) issued hereunder need include in his income ta x return only the difference between the price paid fo r 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 fo r which the return is made, as ordinary gain o r loss. Treasury Department Circular N o. 418, Revised, and this notice, prescribe the terms o f the Treasury bills and govern the conditions o f their issue.
