They will be issued in bearer form only, and in denom inations of $10,000, $50,000, $100,000, $500,000 and $1,000,000 (m aturity value). T enders will be received at Federal Reserve Banks and Branches up to the closing hour, one-thirty p.m., Eastern Standard time, Monday, M arch 16, 1970. Tenders will not be received at the T reasury D epartm ent, W ashington. Each tender m ust be for an even multiple of $10,000, and in the case of competitive tenders the price offered m ust 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. O thers than banking institutions will not be perm itted to submit tenders except for their own account. T enders will be received w ithout deposit from incorporated banks and trust companies and from responsible and recognized dealers in investm ent securities. Tenders from others m ust be accompanied by paym ent of 2 percent of the face am ount of T reasury bills applied for, unless the tenders are accompanied by an express guaranty of paym ent by an incorporated bank or tru st company. Immediately after the closing hour, tenders will be opened at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, following which public announcem ent will be made by the T reasury D epart m ent of the am ount and price range of accepted bids. Only those subm itting competitive tenders will be advised of the acceptance or rejection thereof. The Secretary of the T reasury 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 w ithout 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. Settlem ent for accepted tenders in accordance with the bids m ust be made or completed at the Federal Reserve Bank on M arch 19, 1970, in cash or other immediately available funds or in a like face am ount of T reasury bills m aturing M arch 19, 1970. Cash and exchange tenders will receive equal treatm ent. Cash adjustm ents will be made for differences be tween the par value of m aturing bills accepted in exchange and the issue price of the new bills. The income derived from T reasury 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 T reasury bills does not have any special trea t ment, as such, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. The bills are subject to estate, inheritance, gift or other excise taxes, w hether Federal or State, but are exempt from all taxa tion now or hereafter 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 am ount of discount at which T reasury bills are originally sold by the U nited States is considered to be interest. U nder Sections 454(b) and 1221(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, the am ount 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 T reasury bills (other than life insurance com panies) issued hereunder need include in his income tax return only the difference between the price paid for such bills, w hether on original issue or on subsequent purchase, and the am ount actually received either upon sale or redemption at m aturity during the taxable year for which the return is made, as ordinary gain or loss. T reasury D epartm ent Circular No. 418 (current revision) and this notice prescribe the term s of the T reasury bills and govern the conditions of their issue. Copies of the circular may be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch.
