provided, and at maturity their face amount will be payable
without interest. Th ey 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 D ay­
light Saving time, M onday, O ctober 6, 1969. Tenders will not
be received at the Treasury Department, W ashington. Each
tender must be for an even multiple o f $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 form s 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. Tenders from others must be
accom panied by payment of 2 percent o f the face amount o f
Treasury bills applied for, unless the tenders are accompanied
by an express guaranty o f payment by an incorporated bank or
trust company.
Immediately after the closing hour, tenders will be opened
at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, follow ing which

public announcement will be made by the Treasury Department
o f the amount and price range o f accepted bids. Those sub­
mitting tenders will be advised o f the acceptance or rejection
thereof. The Secretary o f 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 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 com pleted at the Federal Reserve Bank on O ctober 9,
1969, in cash or other immediately available funds or in a like
face amount o f Treasury bills maturing O ctober 9, 1969.
Cash and exchange tenders will receive equal treatment. Cash
adjustments 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 of 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 o f the possessions o f the United
States, or by any local taxing authority. F or purposes of
taxation the amount o f 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 o f 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 ccordingly,
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.
Treasury Department Circular No. 418 (current revision)
and this notice prescribe the terms o f the Treasury bills and
govern the conditions o f their issue. Copies o f 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, Octo­
ber 6, 1969, at the Securities Department of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch. Tender forms for the
