The bills will be issued for cash and in exchange for Treasury bills maturing December 9, 1976, outstanding in the amount of $5,706 million, of which Government accounts and Federal Reserve Banks, for themselves and as agents of foreign and international monetary authorities, presently hold $2,598 million. These accounts may exchange bills they hold for the bills now being offered at the average prices of accepted tenders. The bills will be issued on a discount basis under competitive and noncompetitive bidding, and at maturity their face amount will be payable without interest. They will be issued in bearer form in denominations of $10,000, $15,000, $50,000, $100,000, $500,000 and $1,000,000 (maturity value), and in book-entry form to designated bidders. Tenders will be received at Federal Reserve Banks and Branches and, from individuals, at the Bureau of the Public Debt, Washing ton, D.C. 20226, up to 1 :30 p.m., Eastern Standard time, Monday, December 6, 1976. Each tender must be for a minimum of $10,000. Tenders over $10,000 must be in multiples of $5,000. In the 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 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 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 0 1 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 December 9, 1976, in cash or other immediately available funds or in a like face amount of Treasury bills maturing December 9, 1976. Cash and exchange tenders will receive equal treatment. Cash 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 1954, 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 from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch, or from the Bureau of the Public Debt. T his B ank will receive tenders for both series up to 1 :30 p.m., E astern S tan d ard tim e, M onday, Decem ber 6, 1976, at the Securities D epartm ent of its H ead Office and a t its Buffalo Branch.

The telephone service replaces the previous practice of mailing announcements of Treasury bill offerings to the many thousands of individuals whose names are on our mailing lists. At a later date, we plan to discontinue mailing announcements of offerings of Treasury notes and bonds to individuals. The new telephone service is available in New York City 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and in Buffalo from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on regular business days (to be expanded soon to 24 hours a day). It will provide callers with the latest information on current Treasury offerings sooner than the information would have been available through the mail. As a result, subscribers will have more time to submit their tenders, and will thus have greater assurance that they will not miss the dead line set by the Treasury. This change also will benefit taxpayers by lowering the overall cost of issuing Treasury securities. T() use the new telephone service, call Telephone No. 212-791-5823 at any time for current infor ion on offerings of Treasury bills, notes, and bonds (but not savings bonds). A recorded an nouncement will give the bidding results for the most recent offerings of Treasury bills, and the information you need to purchase new offerings of Treasury bills, notes, and bonds from this Bank. If you live closer to the Buffalo Branch, you may call Telephone No. 716-849-5046 for similar information. mal We will continue to maintain the second floor information desk at this Bank (33 Liberty Street, New York City) for interested individuals who have questions and want to discuss them in person. In addition, other sources of this information include financial institutions and the news media, which will continue to receive detailed announcements of all Treasury offerings. Thus, you may wish to inquire at your local bank, or to refer to the financial pages of one of the major newspapers, in stead of calling this Bank. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York will continue to receive your tenders by mail and in person, as before. For your convenience, enclosed are copies of standardized tender forms that you may use in subscribing to future weekly offerings of 3-month and 6-month Treasury bills. When you purchase bills through this Bank, we will send you another tender form for your use in purchas ing subsequent issues. Auctions for weekly issues of Treasury bills will continue to be held at 1:30 p.m. each Monday (or 1:30 p.m. on the previous Friday if Monday is a holiday). Your tender form, when received by us through the mail or in person, will be applied to the first available auction, unless y O U submit different written instructions to us with the form. We are not at this time enclosing tender forms for the monthly offerings of 12-month Treasury bilk The Treasury Department recently announced that it will begin issuing such bills in book-entry (ov*a) form only, beginning in December. Further information and instructions concerning these book-entry bills will be mailed to you shortly. You do not have to use a tender form to buy new issues of Treasury bills. Instead, you may send a letter, stating the face amount, denominations, and maturity you want to buy, and your de livery instructions. If you send a letter, please include all of the information requested on the tender forms. Your tender form or letter must be accompanied by payment in the required form and amount. For your information, we are also enclosing a fact sheet explaining the basic procedures for pur chasing Treasury bills. (The fact sheet indicates that 12-month bills are available in bearer form; as indicated above, however, they will be issued in book-entry form only, beginning in December.) Since Treasury bills are offered routinely, you may not need any additional information to submit a tender. However, if the Treasury should change any offering terms or should offer bills for which the standard forms cannot be used, appropriate instructions will be given through the telephone in formation service and in the material sent to financial institutions and the news media. Our new telephone service will enable you to obtain information about bill, note, and bond offer ings much faster than by mail. Use it to supplement other sources of information whenever you are considering an investment in marketable Treasury securities. Paul A. V olcker, President. December 1, 1976 NOTE TO FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS: The above notice was mailed to individuals in this District who have requested information regarding Treasury bills. The notice explains the new method for informing individuals of current Treasury offerings.
