The Treasury Department, by this public notice, invites
tenders for two series of Treasury bills to the aggregate amount
of $2,000,000,000, or thereabouts, for cash and in exchange for
Treasury bills maturing September 27, 1962, in the amount of
$1,900,712,000, as follow s:
91-day bills (to maturity date) to be issued September 27,
1962, in the amount of $1,300,000,000, or thereabouts,
representing an additional amount of bills dated June 28,
1962, and to mature December 27, 1962, originally issued
in the amount of $700,197,000, the additional and orig­
inal bills to be freely interchangeable.
182-day bills, for $700,000,000, or thereabouts, to be dated
September 27, 1962, and to mature March 28, 1963.
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).
Tenders will be received at Federal Reserve Banks and
Branches up to the closing hour, one-thirty p.m., Eastern Day­
light Saving time, Monday, September 24, 1962. 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. It 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.
Banking institutions generally may submit tenders for ac­
count of customers, provided the names of the customers are
set forth in such tenders. 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 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
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 sub­

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 June 28, 1962 (91 days remain­
ing until maturity date on December 27, 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 average
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 September 27, 1962, in cash or other imme­
diately available funds or in a like face amount of Treasury
bills maturing September 27, 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 of the new bills.
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 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 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.

govern the conditions of their issue. Copies of the circular may
