Offering of $1,000,000,000 of Special 363-Day Treasury Bills
Dated June 2, 1964

Maturing May 31, 1965

To All Incorporated Banks and Trust Companies, and Others
Concerned, in the Second Federal Reserve District:

Following is the text of a notice issued by the Treasury Department for release today :
The Treasury Department, by this public notice, invites
tenders for $1,000,000,000, or thereabouts, of 363-day Treasury
bills, to be issued on a discount basis under competitive and
noncompetitive bidding as hereinafter provided. The bills of
this series will be dated June 2, 1964, and will mature May 31,
1965, when the 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, Wednesday, May 27, 1964. 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. (Notwithstanding the fact
that these bills will run for 363 days, the discount rate will be
computed on a bank discount basis of 360 days, as is currently
the practice on all issues of Treasury bills.) 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
account 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 incor­
porated 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
without stated price from any one bidder will be accepted in
full at the average price (in three decimals) of accepted com­
petitive bids. Payment of accepted tenders at the prices offered
must be made or completed at the Federal Reserve Bank in
cash or other immediately available funds on June 2, 1964.
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
taxation 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 up to 1 :30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Wednesday, May 27, 1964, at the
Securities Department of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch. Please use the form on the reverse side of this
circular to submit a tender, and return it in the enclosed yellow envelope marked “ Tender for Special Treasury Bills.”
Tenders may be submitted by telegraph, subject to written confirmation; they may not be submitted by telephone.
Payment for the Treasury bills cannot be made by credit through the Treasury Tax and Loan Account. Settlement
must be made in cash or other immediately available funds.
