Tenders for the notes will be received up to 1:30
p.m., Eastern Standard time, Wednesday, December
20, 1972, at any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch
and at the Office of the Treasurer of the United States,
Securities Division, Washington, D. C. 20220; pro­
vided, however, that noncompetitive tenders will be
considered timely received if they are mailed to any
such agency under a postmark no later than Tuesday,
December 19.
Each tender must be in the amount o f $1,000 or
a multiple thereof, and must state the price offered,
if it is a competitive tender, or the term “ noncom­
petitive” , if it is a noncompetitive tender. The price
on competitive tenders must be expressed on the basis
of 100, with two decimals, e.g., 100.00. Tenders at a
price less than 99.51 will not be accepted. Fractions
may not be used. The notation “ TENDER FOR
TREASU R Y N O T E S” should be printed at the
bottom of the envelope in which the tender is sub­
mitted.
Public announcement will be made of the amount
and price range of accepted tenders. Those submit­
ting tenders will be advised of the acceptance or re­
jection thereof. The Secretary of the Treasury ex­
pressly 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 reserva­




tions noncompetitive tenders for $200,000 or less will
be accepted in full at the average price (in two deci­
mals) of accepted competitive tenders. This price
may be 100.00, or more or less than 100.00.
Commercial banks, which for this purpose are de­
fined as banks accepting demand deposits, may sub­
mit tenders for account of customers provided the
names of the customers are set forth in such tenders.
Other than commercial banks will not be permitted
to sumbit tenders except for their own account.
Tenders will be received without deposit from com­
mercial and other banks for their own account, Fed­
erally-insured savings and loan associations, States,
political subdivisions or instrumentalities thereof,
public pension and retirement and other public funds,
international organizations in which the United States
holds membership, foreign central banks and foreign
States, dealers who make primary markets in Govern­
ment securities and report daily to the Federal Re­
serve Bank of New York their positions with respect
to Government securities and borrowings thereon, and
Government accounts. Tenders from others must be
accompanied by payment of 5 percent of the face
amount of notes applied for.
Payment for accepted tenders must be completed on
or before Thursday, December 28, 1972, at the Federal
Reserve Bank or Branch or at the Office of the Treas­
urer of the United States in cash or other funds im­
mediately available to the Treasury by that date. Any
qualified depositary will be permitted to make settle­
ment by credit in its Treasury tax and loan account
for the amount of the notes allotted to it for itself
and its customers. Where full payment is not com­
pleted in funds available by the payment date, the
allotment will be canceled and the deposit with the
tender up to 5 percent of the amount of notes allotted
will be subject to forfeiture to the United States.

The Treasury will construe as timely payment any

or the Treasurer of the United States that is received
at such bank or office by Tuesday, December 26, 1972,
provided the cheek is drawn on a bank in the Federal
Reserve District of the bank or office to which the

ment only if they are fully and finally collected by
the payment date Thursday, December 28, 1972.
Checks not so collected will subject the investor’s
deposit to forfeiture as set forth in the preceding

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
