The Department of the Treasury will auction $2.0 billion of 2-year notes as one of three securities to be
issued for the purpose of refunding debt maturing May 15 and raising new cash. Details of the other two
securities are contained
w f/ny circM/ar]. Additional amounts of the notes may be issued to
Government accounts and Federal Reserve Banks for their own account in exchange for notes maturing May
15, 1976, and to Federal Reserve Banks as agents for foreign and international monetary authorities for new
cash only.
The notes now being offered will be Treasury Notes of Series L-1978 dated May 17, 1976, due April
30, 1978 (C U SIP No. 912827 FN 7) with interest payable on a semiannual basis on October 31, 1976,
and thereafter on April 30 and October 31. The coupon rate will be determined after tenders are allotted. The
notes 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 to designated bidders.

agency under a postmark no later than Monday, May 3. Tenders 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 "noncom­

AOTEA" 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., 7.11, and not
in terrps of a price. Tenders at the lowest 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 rate will be determined at a % of one percent increment that translates into an average accepted
price close to 100.000 and a lowest accepted price above 99.750. That rate of interest 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 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 shall be final. Noncompetitive bidders will be required to pay the average price of accepted



competitive tenders. E7D DEPE EUEM7TT7NG N O N C O M P E T /r/U E PE N D E P E ENOUED P E A E /Z E
