The following statement was issued yesterday by the Treasury Department: The Department o f the Treasury will auction $2,691 million o f 2-year notes to refund the same amount o f notes maturing November 30, 1978. The $2,691 million o f maturing notes are those held by the public, including $570 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 $250 million o f the maturing securities that may be refunded by issuing additional amounts o f the new notes at the average price o f accepted competitive tenders. Additional amounts o f 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). Enclosed is a copy of a standard form that can be used in submitting tenders for this offering (or for any subsequent offering of 2-year notes). This Bank will receive tenders up to 1:30 p.m., Eastern Standard time, Tuesday, November 21, 1978, at the Securities Department of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch. /I// compctftfva fenders, whether transmitted by mail or by other means, must reach this Bank or its Branch by that time.

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; endorsed fo f/ds 2?anA: wd/ nof &e 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."

They will mature November 30, 1980, and will not be subject to call for redemption prior to maturity. 2. 2. The income derived from the securities is subject to all taxes imposed under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954.

C. 20226, up to 1:30 p.m., Eastern Standard time, Tuesday, November 21, 1978.

Each tender must state the face amount of securities The minimum bid is $5,000 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 lieu of a specified yield. No bidder may submit more than one noncompetitive tender and the amount may not exceed $ 1 ,000 ,000 . 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, and 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 99.500. 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. 4. 1. RESERVATIONS 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 Section 1, and to make different percentage allotments to various classes of applicants when the Secretary considers it in the public interest. The Secretary's action under this Section is final. 5. 5. 1.
