The Treasury Department, by this public notice, invites
tenders for two series of Treasury bills to the aggregate amount
of $2,100,000,000, or thereabouts, for cash and in exchange for
Treasury bills maturing January 3, 1963, in the amount of
$2,000,636,000, as follow s:
91-day bills (to maturity date) to be issued January 3,
1963, in the amount of $1,300,000,000, or thereabouts, rep­
resenting an additional amount of bills dated October 4,
1962, and to mature April 4 , 1963, originally issued in
the amount of $701,063,000, the additional and original
bills to be freely interchangeable.
183-day bills, for $800,000,000, or thereabouts, to be dated
January 3, 1963, and to mature July 5, 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
Standard time, Friday, December 28, 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 October 4, 1962 (91 days remain­
ing until maturity date on April 4, 1963) and noncompetitive
tenders for $100,000 or less for the 183-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 January 3, 1963, in cash or other imme­
diately available funds or in a like face amount of Treasury
bills maturing January 3, 1963. 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.
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 of the circular may
be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch.

This Bank will receive tenders for both series up to 1 :30 p.m., Eastern Standard time, Friday,
