senting an additional amount of bills dated September 30,
1970, and to mature September 30, 1971 (C U SIP No. 912793
KS4), originally issued in the amount of $1,202,480,000, the
additional and original bills to be freely interchangeable,
365-day bills, for $1,200,000,000, or thereabouts, to be dated
December 31, 1970, and to mature December 31, 1971
(C U SIP No. 912793 KV7).
The bills of both series will be issued on a discount basis
under competitive and noncompetitive bidding as hereinafter pro­
vided. and at maturity their face amount will be payable without
interest. They will be issued in bearer form onlv, and in denomi­
nations of $10,000, $15,000. $50,000. $100,000, $500,000 and
$1,000,000 (maturity value).

will be received without deposit from incorporated banks and trust
companies and from responsible and recognized dealers in invest­
ment 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. Only those submitting
comnetitive 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
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 competi­
tive 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 December 31, 1970, in cash or other
immediately available funds or in a like face amount of Treasury
bills maturing December 31, 1970. Cash and exchange tenders will
receive equal treatment. Cash adjustments will be made for dif­
ferences between the par value of maturing bills accepted in
exchange and the issue price of the new bills.

Tenders will be received at Federal Reserve Banks and
Branches up to the closing hour, one-thirty p.m., Eastern Standard
time, Wednesday, December 23, 1970. Tenders will not be received
at the Treasury Department, Washington. Each tender must be
for a minimum of $10,000. Tenders over $10,000 must be in multi­
ples of $5,000. 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. (Notwith­
standing the fact that the one-year bills Will run for 365 days,
the discount rate will be computed on a bank discount basis of
360 days, as is currently the practice on all issues of 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.

Under Sections 454(b) and 1221(5) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1954, the amount of discount at which bills issued here­
under are sold is considered to accrue when the bills are sold,
redeemed or otherwise disposed of, and the bills are excluded from
consideration as capital assets. Accordingly, the owner of Treasury
bills (other than life insurance companies) issued hereunder must
include in his income tax return, as ordinary gain or loss, the
difference between the price paid for the 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.

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 per­
mitted to submit tenders except for their own account. Tenders
