Tenders will be received without deposit from incor porated banks and trust companies and from responsible and recognized diealers in investment securities.

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 incom e 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 o f 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 o f the United States, or by any local taxing authority. For purposes o f taxation the amount o f 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. A ccordingly, the owner o f Treasury bills (other than life insurance com panies) issued hereunder need include in his incom e 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.
