To All Incorporated Bunks and Trust Companies, and Others

Following is the text of a notice issued by the Treasury Department for release today:
T he T reasu ry D epartm ent, by this public notice, invites
tenders for $1,000,000,000, or thereabouts, of 361-day Treasury
bills, to be issued on a discount basis under competitive and
noncom petitive bidding as hereinafter provided. T h e bills of
this series will be dated A u g u st 4, 1964, and will mature July 31,
1965, when the face am ount will be payable without interest.
T h e y will be issued in bearer form only, and in denom inations
of $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $50,000, $100,000, $500,000 and
$1,000,000 (m aturity value).
Tenders will be received at Federal Reserve Banks and
Branches up to the closing hour, one-thirty p.m ., Eastern
D ayligh t Saving time, T h ursd ay, July 30, 1964. T enders will
not be received at the T reasury D epartm ent, W a sh in g to n . Each
tender m ust be for an even multiple of $1,000, and in the case
of com petitive tenders the price offered m ust be expressed
on the basis of 100, with not m ore than three decimals, e.g.,
99.925. Fractions m ay not be used. (N otw ith stan din g the fact
that these bills will run for 361 days, the discount rate will be
computed on a bank discount basis of 360 days, as is currently
the practice on all issues of T reasury bills.) It is urged that
tenders be made on the printed form s and forwarded in the
special envelopes which will be supplied by Federal Reserve
Banks or Branches on application therefor.

m itting tenders will be advised of the acceptance or rejection
thereof. T h e Secretary of the T reasury expressly reserves the
right to accept or reject any or all tenders, in w hole 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
without stated price from any one bidder will be accepted in
full at the average price (in three decim als) of accepted co m ­
petitive bids. P aym ent of accepted tenders at the prices offered
m ust be m ade or com pleted at the Federal Reserve Bank in
cash or other im m ediately available funds on A u g u st 4, 1964.

B anking institutions generally m ay submit tenders for
account of custom ers provided the nam es o f the custom ers are
set forth in such tenders. O th ers than banking institutions
will not be permitted to submit tenders except for their own
account. T en ders will be received without deposit from incor­
porated banks and trust companies and from responsible and
recognized dealers in investm ent securities.
T enders from
others m ust be accom panied by paym ent of 2 percent of the
face am ount of T reasury bills applied for, unless the tenders
are accom panied by an express guaranty of paym ent by an
incorporated bank or trust com pany.

T h e incom e derived from T reasury bills, w hether interest
or gain from the sale or other disposition of the bills, does not
have any exem ption, as such, and loss from the sale or other
disposition of T reasury bills does not have any special treat­
ment, as such, under the Internal R evenue Code of 1954. T h e
bills are subject to estate, inheritance, gift or other excise
taxes, whether Federal or State, but are exem pt from all taxa­
tion now or hereafter im posed on the principal or interest
thereof by any State, or any of the possessions of the U nited
States, or by any local taxing authority. F or purposes of
taxation the am ount of discount at w hich T reasury bills are
originally sold by the U nited States is considered to be interest.
U nder Sections 4 5 4 (b ) and 1 22 1 (5 ) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1954 the am ount of discount at w hich bills issued
hereunder are sold is not considered to accrue until such bills
are sold, redeemed or otherw ise disposed of, and such bills
are excluded from consideration as capital assets. A cco rd in gly ,
the ow ner of T reasury bills (other than life insurance co m ­
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
am ount actually received either upon sale or redem ption at
m aturity during the taxable year for w hich the return is made,
as ordinary gain or loss.

Im m ediately after the closing hour, tenders will be opened
at the Federal Reserve B anks and Branches, follow in g which
public announcem ent will be made by the T reasury Departm ent
of the am ount and price range of accepted bids. T h ose sub­

T reasury D epartm ent Circular N o . 418 (current revision)
and this notice, prescribe the term s of the T reasu ry bills and
govern the conditions of their issue. Copies of the circular m ay
be obtained from any Federal R eserve Bank or Branch.
