Commercial banks, which for this purpose are de­
fined as banks accepting demand deposits, may submit
tenders for account of customers provided the names
of the customers are set forth in such tenders. Others
than commercial banks will not be permitted to submit
tenders except for their own account.
Tenders will be received without deposit from

Nonbank investors should understand that their
checks will constitute payment only if they are fu lly
and finally collected by the payment date, W ednesday,
September 8, 1971. Checks not so collected will subject
the investor’s deposit to forfeiture as set forth in the
preceding paragraph. A check payable other than
at a Federal Reserve Bank received on the payment
date will not constitute immediately available funds
on that date. A ccordingly, in order that a check will
constitute immediately available funds to the Treas­

ury by the payment date, it should be submitted suffi­
ciently in advance to assure completion o f its col­
lection b y W ednesday, September 8, 1971. Checks
should be drawn to the order o f the office to which the
tender is submitted. I f a check fo r the fu ll amount o f
the payment is submitted with the subscription, it
should be, in the case o f tenders at a com petitive price,
equal to the total purchase price o f the notes bid for,
or, in the case o f noncompetitive tenders, equal to the
fu ll face amount o f the notes bid for. Bidders on a
noncompetitive basis who submit checks fo r the face
amount of the notes bid fo r will be (1 ) required to pay
an additional amount if the purchase price is more
than 100, or (2) paid the difference if the purchase
price is less than 100.

Commercial banks are prohibited from making un­
secured loans, or loans collateralized in whole or in
part by the notes bid for, to cover the deposits re­
quired to be paid when tenders are entered, and they
will be required to make the usual certification to that
effect. Other lenders are requested to refrain from
making such loans.
A ll bidders are required to agree not to purchase or
to sell, or to make any agreements with respect to the
purchase or sale or other disposition o f the notes bid
for under this offering at a specific rate or price, until
after 1 :30 p.m., Eastern D aylight Saving time, Tues­
