F E D E R A L R E S E R V E BANK O F NEW YO R K Fiscal Agent of the United States [ Circular No. 8 1 4 7 1 July 15, 1977 J T R E A SU R Y TO AU C TIO N $2,500 M ILLION OF 2-YE A R NOTES To All Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned, in the Second Federal Reserve District: The following statement was issued July 13 by the Treasury Department: The Department of the Treasury will auction $2,500 million of 2-year notes to refund $1,451 million of notes held by the public maturing July 31, 1977, and to raise $1,049 million new cash. Additional amounts of these notes may be issued at the average price of accepted tenders to Government accounts and to Federal Reserve Banks for their own account in exchange for $65 million maturing notes held by them, and to Federal Reserve Banks as agents o f foreign and international monetary authorities for new' cash only. Potential bidders for the 2-year note are cautioned that the Treasury Department has included a provision in the official offering circular which prohibits participation in the auction by anyone who has contracted to purchase or sell the security prior to the 1 :30 p.m., ED ST deadline for receipt of tenders. A prohibition having this general effect was originally adopted for securities sold during World War II and was eliminated in^ February 1975 wffien the offering circular was revised to eliminate provisions then con sidered obsolete. The Treasury is taking this present action after monitoring the development and expansion of trading in Treasury securities prior to the actual auctions, and in some cases, prior even to the announcement of an offering, and has concluded that this trading does not contribute to the efficient marketing of new Treasury issues, and may, in fact, facilitate undesirable speculative activity in Treasury securities. The prohibition on pre-auction trading will be included in all subsequent offering circulars for new Treasury coupon securities. This prohibition does not apply to offerings of Treasury bills. The Treasury will continue to monitor developments in the bill market. Printed on the reverse side is a table summarizing the highlights of the offering. Copies of the official offering circular will be furnished upon request directed to our Government Bond Division (Tel. No. 212-791-6356). »*.' I Bidders submitting noncompetitive tenders should realize that it is possible that the average price may be above par, in which case they would have to pay more than the face value for the securities. If payment is made by check, the check should 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. Enclosed is a copy of the form to be used in submitting tenders. If there is any doubt that ten ders sent by mail will reach this Bank or its Branch on time, bidders should use other means of transmitting their tenders. A recorded message (at the Head Office — Tel. No. 212-791-5823; at the Buffalo Branch Tel. No. 716-849-5046) provides information about this and other Treasury offerings; additional inquiries regarding this offering may be made by calling, at the Head Office, Tel.
