Extension of Time to Trustees to Submit Subscriptions
in Treasury’s Current Advance Refunding

To All Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned,
in the Second Federal Reserve D istrict:

The following statement was made public today by the Treasury
Department:
The Treasury Department announced today that it has received information
from banking institutions and other sources that they hold in custody for
trustees, or are trustees in their own right, for large amounts of the securities
eligible for exchange in the current advance refunding offer, and they will not
be able to complete all o f the detailed requirements necessary to file their
subscriptions by February 21, 1962. In many cases it is necessary for holders of
the issues eligible for exchange to obtain signatures of trustees or to await
decisions by meetings of trustees or committees before the exchange can be
consummated.
In view of this situation, the Treasury will permit trustees to file with
Federal Reserve Banks or Branches, or the Treasurer of the United States, or
place in the mail before midnight February 21, 1962, a letter of intent stating
that they propose to enter or are considering submission of exchange subscrip­
tions and giving the reasons which account for their inability to complete their
subscriptions by that date. In such cases the subscribers will have until the close
of business February 28, 1962, to complete their subscriptions.
