To A ll Incorporated Banks and Trust Companies, and Others

Following is the text of a notice issued by the Treasury Department, released for publication today at 4 p.m.,
Eastern Daylight Saving time:
The Treasury Department, by this public notice, invites tenders
for two series of Treasury bills to the aggregate amount of
$2,500,000,000, or thereabouts, for cash and in exchange for
Treasury bills maturing October 26, 1967, in the amount of
$2,400,935,000, as follows:
91-day bills (to maturity date) to be issued October 26, 1967,
in the amount of $1,500,000,000, or thereabouts, represent­
ing an additional amount of bills dated July 27, 1967,
and to mature January 25, 1968, originally issued in the
amount of $1,000,293,000, the additional and original bills
to be freely interchangeable.
182-day bills, for $1,000,000,000, or thereabouts, to be dated
October 26, 1967, and to mature April 25, 1968.
The bills of both series will be issued on a discount basis under
competitive and noncompetitive bidding as hereinafter provided,
and at maturity their 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 Daylight
Saving time, Monday, October 23, 1967. Tenders will not be re­
ceived 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. 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 incorporated 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 submitting
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 reserva­
tions, noncompetitive tenders for each issue 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 competitive
bids for the respective issues. Settlement for accepted tenders
in accordance with the bids must be made or completed at the
Federal Reserve Bank on October 26, 1967, in cash or other
immediately available funds or in a like face amount of Treasury
bills maturing October 26, 1967. Cash and exchange tenders will
receive equal treatment. Cash adjustments will be made for differ­
ences between the par value of maturing bills accepted in exchange
and the issue price of the new bills.
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 treatment,
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 taxation now or here­
after 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 dis­
count 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
companies) 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 for both series up to 1:30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Monday October 23
1967, at the Securities Department of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch. Tender forms for the respective
series are enclosed. Please^use the appropriate forms to submit tenders and return them in an envelope marked
“Tender for Treasury Bills.’ lenders 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 or in maturing Treasury bills
