AUCTION OF $1.5 BILLION OF TREASURY NOTES
S e r ie s K -1 9 7 7

To All Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned,
in the Second Federal Reserve District:

The following statem ent was issued July 10 by the Treasury Departm ent:
The Treasury will auction to the public under competitive and noncompetitive bidding up to $1.5 billion
o f 2-year notes. The coupon rate for the notes will be determ ined after tenders are allotted. Additional
am ounts o f the notes may be issued at the average price o f accepted tenders to G overnm ent accounts and to
Federal Reserve Banks for themselves and as agents o f foreign and international m onetary authorities.
The notes will be Treasury Notes o f Series K-1977, dated July 31, 1975, due July 31, 1977 (C U S IP No.
912827 ES7) with interest payable semiannually on January 31, 1976, July 31, 1976, January 31, 1977 and July
31, 1977. They will be issued in registered and bearer form in denominations o f $5,000, $10,000, $100,000 and
$ 1,000,000, and they will be available for issue in book-entry form.
Paym ent for the notes must be made on July 31, 1975. Payment may not be m ade through tax and loan
accounts. Notes in bearer form will be delivered on July 31, 1975.
Tenders will be received up to 1:30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Thursday, July 17, at any Federal
Reserve Bank or Branch and at the Bureau o f the Public Debt, W ashington, D. C. 20226; provided, however,
that noncompetitive tenders will be considered timely received if they are mailed to any such agency under a
postm ark no later than W ednesday, July 16. Each tender must be in the am ount o f $5,000 or a m ultiple
thereof, and all tenders must state the yield desired, if a competitive tender, or the term “ noncom petitive”, if a
noncompetitive tender. Fractions may not be used in tenders. The notation “ T E N D E R FO R TR EA SU R Y
N O TE S” should be printed at the bottom o f envelopes in which tenders are submitted.
Competitive tenders must be expressed in terms o f annual yield in two decimal places, e.g., 7.11, and not
in terms o f a price. Tenders at the lowest yields, and noncompetitive tenders, will be accepted to the extent
required to attain the am ount offered. After a determ ination is made as to which tenders are accepted, a
coupon yield will be determined to the nearest V% o f 1 percent necessary to make the average accepted price
100.000 or less. That will be the rate o f interest that will be paid on all o f the notes. Based on such interest
rate, the price on each competitive tender allotted will be determined and each successful competitive bidder
will pay the price corresponding to the yield he bid. Price calculations will be carried to three decimal places
on the basis o f price per hundred, e.g., 99.923, and the determinations o f the Secretary o f the Treasury shall be
final. Tenders at a yield that will produce a price less than 99.501 will not be accepted.
The Secretary o f 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 o f accepted competitive tenders, which price
will be 100.000 or less.
Commercial banks, which for this purpose are defined as banks accepting dem and deposits, and dealers
who make prim ary markets in Government securities and report daily to the Federal Reserve Bank o f New
York their positions with respect to Governm ent securities and borrowings thereon, may subm it tenders for the
account o f customers, provided the names o f the customers are set forth in such tenders. Others will not be
perm itted 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 retirem ent and other public funds, international organizations in which the United States
holds membership, foreign central banks and foreign States, dealers who make prim ary markets in
Governm ent securities and report daily to the Federal Reserve Bank o f New York their positions with respect
to Governm ent securities and borrowings thereon, Federal Reserve Banks, and G overnm ent accounts.
Tenders from others must be accompanied by paym ent o f 5 percent o f the face am ount o f securities applied
for. However, bidders who submit checks in paym ent on tenders submitted directly to a Federal Reserve Bank
or the Treasury may find it necessary to submit full paym ent for the notes 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

Paym ent for accepted tenders must be completed on or before Thursday, July 31, 1975, at the Federal
Reserve Bank or Branch or at the Bureau of the Public D ebt in cash, in other funds im mediately available to
