AUCTION OF $1.5 BILLION OF TREASURY NOTES
Series N-1976

T o A ll B anking In stitu tio n s, and O thers C oncerned,
in th e S econd F ederal R eserve D istrict:

The following statement was issued March 25 by the Treasury Department:
The Treasury will auction to the public under competitive and noncompetitive bidding up to $1.5 billion
of 20-month notes. The coupon rate for the notes will be determined after tenders are allotted. Additional
amounts of the notes may be issued at the average price of accepted tenders to Government accounts and
to Federal Reserve Banks for themselves and as agents of foreign and international monetary authorities. The
notes will be dated April 8 , 1975, rather than April 14, 1975, as had been tentatively projected by the
Treasury late last month.
The notes will be Treasury Notes of Series N-1976, dated April 8 , 1975, due November 30, 1976 (CUSIP
No. 912827 EJ7) with interest payable on a semiannual basis on November 30, 1975, and May 31 and
November 30, 1976. They will be issued in registered and bearer form in denominations of $5,000, $10,000,
$100,000 and $1,000,000, and they will be available for issue in book-entry form. Delivery of bearer notes
will be made on or about April 14, 1975. A purchaser of bearer notes may elect to receive an interim
certificate on April 8 , which shall be a bearer security exchangeable at face value for Treasury Notes of
Series N-1976 when available. Payment for the notes may not be made through tax and loan accounts.
Tenders will be received up to 1:30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Tuesday, April 1, at any
Federal Reserve Bank or Branch and at the Bureau of the Public Debt, Washington, D. C. 20226; provided,
however, that noncompetitive tenders will be considered timely received if they are mailed to any such
agency under a postmark no later than Monday, March 31. Each tender must be in the amount of $5,000
or a multiple thereof, and all tenders must state the yield desired, if a competitive tender, or the term
“noncompetitive”, if a noncompetitive tender. Fractions may not be used in tenders. The notation “TENDER
FOR TREASURY NOTES” should be printed at the bottom of envelopes in which tenders are submitted.
Competitive tenders must be expressed in terms of annual yield in two decimal places, e.g., 6.45, and
not in terms of a price. Tenders at thelowest yields, and noncompetitive tenders, will be accepted to the
extent required to attain the amount offered. After a determination is made as to which tenders are accepted,
a coupon yield will be determined to the nearest Vs of 1 percent necessary to make the average accepted
price 100.00 or less. That will be the rate of interest that will be paid on all of the notes. Based on such
interest rate, the price on each competitive tender allotted will be determined and each successful com­
petitive bidder will pay the price corresponding to the yield he bid. Price calculations will be carried to
three decimal places on the basis of price per hundred, e.g., 99.923, and the determinations of the Secretary
of the Treasury shall be final. Tenders at a yield that will produce a price less than 99.751 will not be
accepted.
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, noncom­
petitive tenders for $500,000 or less will be accepted in full at the average price of accepted competitive
tenders, which price will be 100.00 or less.
Commercial banks, which for this purpose are defined as banks accepting demand deposits, and dealers
who make primary markets in Government securities and report daily to the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York their positions with respect to Government securities and borrowings thereon, may submit tenders
for the account of customers, provided the names of the customers are set forth in such tenders. Others
will not be permitted to submit tenders except for their own account.




Tenders will be received without deposit from commercial and other banks for their own account,
Federally-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 Reserve Bank of New York their positions with respect to
Government securities and borrowings thereon, Federal Reserve Banks, and Government accounts. Tenders
from others must be accompanied by payment of 5 percent of the face amount of securities applied for.
However, bidders who submit checks in payment on tenders submitted directly to a Federal Reserve Bank
or the Treasury may find it necessary to submit full payment for the securities with their tenders in order
to meet the time limits pertaining to checks as hereinafter set forth. Allotment notices will not be sent
to bidders who submit noncompetitive tenders.
Payment for accepted tenders must be completed on or before Tuesday, April 8 , 1975, at the Federal
Reserve Bank or Branch or at the Bureau of the Public Debt in cash, in other funds immediately available
to the Treasury by April 8 , or by check drawn to the order of the Federal Reserve Bank to which the tender
is submitted, or the United States Treasury if the tender is submitted to it, which must be received at
such Bank or at the Treasury no later than: (1) Thursday, April 3, 1975, if the check is drawn on a bank
in the Federal Reserve District of the Bank to which the check is submitted, or the Fifth Federal Reserve
District in case of the Treasury, or (2) Wednesday, April 2, 1975, if the check is drawn on a bank in
another district. Checks received after the dates set forth in the preceding sentence will not be accepted
unless they are payable at a Federal Reserve Bank. Where full payment is not completed on time, the
allotment will be canceled and the deposit with the tender up to 5 percent of the amount of securities allotted
will be subject to forfeiture to the United States.

The terms of the offering are set forth in Treasury Department Circular No. 11-75, Public Debt
Series, dated March 26, 1975, a copy of which is printed on the following pages.
This Bank will receive tenders up to 1:30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Tuesday, April 1,
1975, at the Securities Department of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch; provided, however,
that noncompetitive tenders will be considered timely received if they are mailed to this Bank or its
Branch under a postmark no later than March 31, 1975. Please use the enclosed tender form to submit
a tender, and return it in the enclosed envelope marked “Tender for Treasury Notes.” Tenders not
requiring a deposit may be submitted by telegraph, subject to written confirmation; no tenders may
be submitted by telephone. Settlement for accepted tenders may be made in cash or other immediately
available funds, under the conditions and procedures set forth in Section IV of Treasury Department
Circular No. 11-75; settlement cannot be made by credit in Treasury Tax and Loan Accounts. If pay­
ment is made by check, the check must be a certified personal check or an official bank check, payable
on its face to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; checks endorsed to this Bank will not be accepted.
The notes will be auctioned on a yield basis, rather than the conventional price basis, as set
forth in Section III of the official offering circular. Tenders at a yield that will produce a price
less than 99.751 will not be accepted. Noncompetitive bidders will be required to pay the average price
of accepted competitive tenders.
Telephone inquiries regarding this offering may be made by calling Telephone No. 212-791-5823,
212-791-6616, or 212-791-5465.

3, 1975, if the check is drawn on a bank in the Fed­
eral Reserve District of the Bank to which the check
is submitted, or the Fifth Federal Reserve District in
the case of the Treasury, or (2) Wednesday, April 2,

individual’s social security number or an employer
identification number) is not furnished. In every case
where full payment is not completed, the payment

of the Treasury in his discretion, be forfeited to the
United States.

Immediately after the closing hour tenders will
be opened, following which public announcement will
be made by the Department of the Treasury of the
amount and yield range of accepted bids. Those sub­
mitting competitive tenders will be advised of the
acceptance or rejection thereof. In considering the ac­
ceptance of tenders, those with the lowest yields will
be accepted to the extent required to attain the
amount offered. Tenders at the highest accepted yield
will be prorated if necessary. After the determination
is made as to which tenders are accepted, an interest
rate will be established at the nearest % of one per­
cent necessary to make the average accepted price
100.00 or less. That will be the rate of interest that
will be paid on all of the notes. Based on such interest
rate, the price on each competitive tender allotted will
be determined and each successful competitive bidder
will be required to pay the price corresponding to the
yield bid. Price calculations will be carried to three
decimal places on the basis of price per hundred, e.g.,
99.923, and the determinations of the Secretary of the
Treasury shall be final. The Secretary of the Treasury
expressly reserves the right to accept or reject any or
all tenders, in whole or in part, including the right to
accept tenders for more or less than the $1,500,000,000
