Following is the text of a notice issued by the Treasury Department, released for publication today at
4 p.m., Eastern Standard time:
The Treasury Department, by this public notice, invites
tenders for two series of Treasury bills to the aggregate amount
of $1,800,000,000, or thereabouts, for cash and in exchange for
Treasury bills maturing February 15, 1962, in the amount of
$1,700,230,000, as follow s:
91-day bills (to maturity date) to be issued February 15,
1962, in the amount of $1,200,000,000, or thereabouts,
representing an additional amount of bills dated N o­
vember 16, 1961, and to mature May 17, 1962, originally
issued in the amount of $600,105,000, the additional and
original bills to be freely interchangeable
182-day bills, for $600,000,000, or thereabouts, to be dated
February 15, 1962, and to mature August 16, 1962.
The bills of both series will be issued on a discount basis
under competitive and noncompetitive bidding as hereinafter
provided, and at maturity their 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, $50,000, $100,000,
$500,000 and $1,000,000 (maturity value).

mitting 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
for the additional bills dated November 16, 1961 (91 days remain­
ing until maturity date on May 17, 1962) and noncompetitive
tenders for $100,000 or less for the 182-day bills without stated
price from any one bidder will be accepted in full at the aver­
age price (in three decimals) of accepted competitive bids
for the respective issues. Settlement for accepted tenders in
accordance with the bids must be made or completed at the
Federal Reserve Bank on February 15, 1962, in cash or other
immediately available funds or in a like face amount of
Treasury bills maturing February 15, 1962. Cash and exchange
tenders will receive equal treatment. Cash adjustments will be
made for differences between the par value of maturing bills
accepted in exchange and the issue price o f the new bills.

Banking institutions generally may submit tenders for ac­
count of customers, provided the names of the customers are set
torth in such tenders. Others than banking institutions will not
be permitted to submit tenders except for their own account
1 enders will be received without deposit from incorporated
banks and trust companies and from responsible and recognized
dealers in investment securities. Tenders from others must be
accompanied by payment of 2 percent of the face amount of
1 reasury bills applied for, unless the tenders are accompanied
by an express guaranty of payment by an incorporated bank
or trust company.

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 taxa­
tion 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 taxa­
tion 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 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 owner of Treasury bills (other than life insurance com­
panies) 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
maturity during the taxable year for which the return is made,
as ordinary gain or loss.

Immediately after the closing hour, tenders will be opened
i c d e r a l Reserve Banks and Branches, following which
public announcement will be made by the Treasury Department
# ot the amount and price range of accepted bids. Those sub-

Treasury Department Circular No. 418 (current revision)
and this notice prescribe the terms of the Treasury bills and
govern the conditions of their issue. Copies o f the circular
may be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch.

Tenders will be received at Federal Reserve Banks and
Branches up to the closing hour, one-thirty p.m., Eastern
Standard time, Friday, February 9, 1962. Tenders will not
be received at the Treasury Department, Washington. Each
tender must tx: for an even multiple of $1,000, and in the
case of competitive tenders the price offered must be expressed
