FED ER AL RESERVE BANK O F NEW YORK Fiscal Agent o f the United States Circular No. 8520~| February 14, 1979_| [ TREASURY TO AU CTIO N $2,480 M ILLION OF 2-YE A R NOTES T o A l l B a n k in g In stitu tio n s, a n d O th e r s C o n c e r n e d , in th e S e c o n d F e d era l R e s e r v e D istr ic t: The following statement was issued yesterday by the Treasury Department: The Department o f the Treasury will auction $2,480 million o f 2-year notes to refund approximately the same amount o f notes maturing February 28, 1979. The $2,477 million o f maturing notes are those held by the public, including $388 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 $368 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 to Federal Reserve Banks, as agents for foreign and international m one tary authorities, to the extent that the aggregate amount o f tenders for such accounts exceeds the aggregate amount o f maturing securities held by them. This procedural change will not affect the amount o f securities awarded to foreign and international monetary authorities, although, compared to the previous procedure, it could potentially reduce the amount o f securities awarded competitively to private investors. Printed on the reverse side is a table summarizing the highlights o f the offering. Copies o f the official offering circular will be furnished upon request directed to our Government Bond Division (Tel. No. 212-791-6619). Enclosed is a copy o f a standard form that can be used in submitting tenders for this offering (or for any subsequent offering o f 2-year notes). This Bank will receive tenders up to 1:30 p.m., Eastern Standard time, Wednesday, February 21, 1979, at the Securities Department o f 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 in vestors 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 February 20. 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 o f New York; checks endorsed to this Bank will not be accepted. A personal check submitted with the tender, either as a deposit or for the face amount o f 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 o f the face amount o f securities allotted, shall, at the discretion o f 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. PAUL A. VOLCKER, President.
