Fractions may not be used. (Notwithstanding the fact that the one-year bills will run for 365 days, the discount rate will be computed on a bank discount basis o f 360 days, as is currently the practice on all issues o f 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 o f customers, provided the names o f the customers are set forth in such tenders. Others than banking institutions will not be permitted to submit tenders except for their ow n account. Tenders will be received without deposit from incorporated banks and trust companies and from responsible and recognized dealers in investment securities.

T h ose sub mitting tenders will be advised of the acceptance or rejection thereof.

Settlement for accepted tenders in accordance with the bids must be made or com pleted at the Federal Reserve Bank on January 31, 1969, in cash or other immediately available funds or in a like face amount o f Treasury bills maturing January 31, 1969. Cash and exchange tenders will receive equal treatment. Cash adjust ments will be made for differences between the par value of maturing bills accepted in exchange and the issue price o f the new bills. 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 of Treasury bills does not have any special treat ment, as such, under the Internal Revenue Code o f 1954. The 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 o f the possessions o f the United States, or by any local taxing authority. For purposes o f 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 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 ccordin gly, the owner of 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.
