The following statement was issued yesterday by the Treasury Department:
The Department o f the Treasury will auction $2,250 million o f 4-year 1-month notes to raise new cash.
Additional amounts o f the notes may be issued to Federal Reserve Banks as agents o f foreign and international
monetary authorities at the average price o f accepted competitive tenders.
Details about the new security are given in the attached highlights o f the offering and in the official
offering circular.

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.
212-791-6619). In addition, enclosed is a copy of the form to be used in submitting tenders.
This Bank will receive tenders up to 1:30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Tuesday, August 29,
1978, at the Securities Department of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch. A// cowpefi'tt've fenJers,
whether transmitted by mail or by other means, must reach this Bank or its Branch by that time. However,
for investors who wish to submit noncompetitive tenders and who find it more convenient to mail their
tenders than to present them in person, the official offering circular provides that wowcowpctit/vc tenders
will be considered timely received if they are mailed to this Bank or its Branch under a postmark no /atcr
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.
Payment may be made by personal check, or an official bank check, payable on its face to the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York; cAccA:^ eM6forse^ to fAn AfanA^ w/// not accepted. A personal check sub­
mitted with the tender, either as a deposit or for the face amount of the securities, does not have to be
certified. However, in cases where only a deposit is submitted with the tender, a personal check submitted
for the final payment must be certified.
As provided in the official offering circular, "in every case where full payment is not completed on
time, the deposit submitted with the tender, up to 5 percent of the face amount of securities allotted,
shall, at the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury, be forfeited to the United States."
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. No. 212-791-6619, or, at the Buffalo Branch,
Tel. No. 716-849-5016. (If the inquiry relates to competitive tenders, however, the Head Office number to
call is 212-791-5465.)

(CUSIP No. 912827 JA 1).

The securities will be sold at auction

with bidding on the basis of yield.

Payment will be required at

the price equivalent of the bid yield of each accepted tender.
The interest rate on the securities and the price equivalent of
each accepted bid will be determined in the manner described
below.

Additional amounts of these securities may be issued

for cash to Federal Reserve Banks as agents of foreign and
international monetary authorities.
2. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

and book-entry securities, and the transfer of registered
securities will be permitted.
2. 5. The Department of the Treasury's general
regulations governing United States securities apply to the

1.

SALE PROCEDURES

Tenders will be received at Federal Reserve Banks

and Branches and at the Bureau of the Public Debt, Washington,
D. C. 20226, up to 1:30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time,
Tuesday, August 29, 1978. Noncompetitive tenders as defined
below will be considered timely if postmarked no later than
Monday, August 28, 1978.
3. 2. Each tender must state the face amount of securities
bid for. The minimum bid is $1,000 and larger bids must be in
multiples of that amount. Competitive tenders must also show the
yield desired, expressed in terms of an annual yield with two
decimals, e.g., 7.11%. Common fractions may not be used.
Noncompetitive tenders must show the term "noncompetitive" on the
tender form in li^u of a specified yield.

No bidder may submit

more than one noncompetitive tender and the amount may not exceed
$1 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 .

3.

3.

All bidders must certify that they have not made and

will not make any agreements for the sale or purchase of any
securities of this issue prior to the deadline established in
Section 3.1. for receipt of tenders.

Those authorized to submit

tenders for the account of customers will be required to certify




-3 -

that such tenders are submitted under the same conditions, agree­
ments, a/id certifications as tenders submitted directly by
bidders for their own account.
3. 4. Commercial banks, which for this purpose are defined
as banks accepting demand deposits, and primary dealers, which
for this purpose are defined as dealers who make primary markets
in Government securities and report daily to the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York their positions in and borrowings on such
securities, may submit tenders for account of customers if the
names of the customers and the amount for each customer are
furnished. Others are only permitted to submit tenders for their
own account.
3. 5. Tenders will be received without deposit for their
own account from commercial banks and other banking institutions;
primary dealers, as defined above; Federally-insured savings and
loan associations; States, and their political subdivisions or
instrumentalities; public pension and retirement and other public
funds; international organizations in which the United States
holds membership; foreign central banks and foreign states;
Federal Reserve Banks; and Government accounts.

Tenders from

others must be accompanied by a deposit of 5% of the face amount
of securities applied for (in the form of cash, maturing Treasury
securities or readily collectible checks), or by a guarantee of
such deposit by a commercial bank or a primary dealer.
3.

6.

Immediately after the closing hour, tenders will be

opened, followed by a public announcement of the amount and yield
range of accepted bids.

Subject to the reservations expressed in

Section 4, noncompetitive tenders will be accepted in full, and
then competitive tenders will be accepted, starting with those at
the lowest yields, through successively higher yields to the
extent required to attain the amount offered.

Tenders at the

highest accepted yield will be prorated if necessary.

After the

determination is made as to which tenders are accepted, a coupon
rate will be established, on the basis of a 1/8 of one percent
increment, which results in an equivalent average accepted price
close to 100.000 and a lowest accepted price above the original
issue discount limit of 99.000.




That rate of interest will be

-4-

paid on all of the securities. Based on such interest rate, the
price on each competitive tender allotted will be determined and
each successful competitive bidder will be required to pay the
price equivalent to the yield bid.

Those submitting

noncompetitive tenders will pay the price equivalent to the
weighted average yield of accepted competitive tenders.

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 of the Treasury shall be final. If the amount of
noncompetitive tenders received would absorb all or most of the
offering, competitive tenders will be accepted in an amount
sufficient to provide a fair determination of the yield. Tenders
received from Government accounts and Federal Reserve Banks will
be accepted at the price equivalent to the weighted average yield
of accepted competitive tenders.
3. 7. Competitive bidders will be advised of the acceptance
or rejection of their tenders.

Those submitting noncompetitive

tenders will only be notified if the tender is not accepted in
full, or when the price is over par.
4.

The Secretary of the Treasury expressly reserves the

right to accept or reject any or all tenders in whole or in part,
to allot more or less than the amount of securities specified in

public interest.
