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 o f 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 incor porated banks and trust companies and from responsible and recognized dealers in investment securities.

Those submitting tenders will be advised o f the acceptance or rejec tion 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, noncom petitive tenders for $200,000 or less for the additional bills dated June 27, 1963 (91 days re maining until maturity date on Decem ber 26, 1963) and non competitive 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 com petitive bids for the respective issues.

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 of 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 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 o f the possessions of the United States, or by any local taxing authority. For purposes o f taxa tion the amount o f discount at which Treasury bills are originally sold by the United States is considered to be interest. U nder 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 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.
