FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
OF NEW YORK
Fiscal Agent o f the United States
Circular No. 8499
January 18, 1979

T R E A S U R Y TO A U C TIO N $2,700 M ILLIO N OF 2-Y E A R NOTES
To All Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned,
in the Second Federal Reserve District:

The following statement was issued yesterday by the Treasury Department:
The Department o f the Treasury will auction $2,700 million o f 2-year notes to refund approximately the
same amount o f notes maturing January 31, 1979. The $2,704 million o f maturing notes are those held by the
public, including $774 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 $151 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, January 23, 1979,
at the Securities Department of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch. All competitive tenders, 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 noncompetitive tenders will be
considered timely received if they are mailed to this Bank or its Branch under a postmark no later than

January 22.
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; checks endorsed to this Bank will not be 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 o f 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.
