The $2,718 million of maturing notes are those held by the public, including $705 million currently held by Federal Reserve Banks as agents for foreign and international monetary authorities. In addition to the public holdings, Government accounts and Federal Reserve Banks^ for their own accounts, hold $203 million of the maturing securities that may be refunded by issuing additional amounts of the new notes at the average price of accepted competitive tenders. Additional amounts of the new securities may also be issued at the average price, for new cash only, to Federal Reserve Banks as agents for foreign and international monetary authorities. 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).

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 MOMCOfwpeftftvf tenders will be considered timely received if they are mailed to this Bank or its Branch under a postmark no /afer f/mn October 2? J. 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.

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."
