be payable without interest, f hey will be issued in bearer form in
denominations of $10,000, $15,000, $50,000, $100,000, $500,000 and

$10,000. Tenders over $10,000 must be in multiples of $5,000. In
O k* case of competitive tenders the price offered must be expressed
on the basis of 100, with not more than three decimals, e.g., 99.925
Fractions may not be used.
Banking institutions and dealers which make primary markets
m Government securities and report daily to the Federal Reserve
Hank of New York their positions with respect to Government
securities and borrowings thereon may submit tenders for 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 incorporated banks and trust companies and from responsible
and recognized dealers in investment securities. Tenders from others
must be accompanied by payment of 2 percent of the face amount of
bills applied for, unless the tenders are accompanied by an express
guaranty of payment by an incorporated bank or trust company.
Public announcement will be made by the Department of the
Treasury of the amount and price range of accepted bids. Those
submitting competitive tenders will be advised of the acceptance or
rejection thereof. 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, noncompetitive tenders for each issue for $500,000 or
less without stated price from any one bidder will be accepted in
full at the average price (in three decimals) of accepted competi­
tive bids for the respective issues, Settlement for accepted tenders
in accordance with the bids must be made or completed at the
Federal Reserve Bank or Branch or at the Bureau of the Public
Debt on October 21, 1970, in cash or other immediately available

adjustments will be made for differences between the par value of
maturing bills accepted in exchange and the issue price of the new
bills.
Under Sections 454(b) and 1221(5) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 19o4, the amount of discount at which bills issued here­
under are sold is considered to accrue when the bills are sold,
redeemed or otherwise disposed of, and the bills are excluded from
consideration as capital assets. Accordingly, the owner of bills
(other than life insurance companies) issued hereunder must in­
clude in his Federal income tax return, as ordinary gain or loss, the
difference between the price paid for the bills, whether on original
issue or on subsequent purchase, and the amount actually received
either upon sale or redemption at maturity during the taxable year
for which the return is made.
Department of the Treasury Circular No. 418 (current revision)
and this notice prescribe the terms of the Treasury bills and govern
the conditions of their issue. Copies of the circular may be obtained
fp.m any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch, or from the Bureau of
the Public Debt.
