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^ noncompetitive tenders for each issue for

The incom e derived from Treasury bills, whether interest
or gain from the sale or other disposition o f the bills, does not
have any exemption, as such, and loss from the sale or other
disposition o f 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 im posed 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 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) o f the Internal Revenue
Code o f 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. A ccordin gly
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.
