To A ll Incorporated Banks and Trust Companies, and Others
Concerned, in the Second Federal Reserve District:

Following is the text of a notice issued by the Treasury D epartm ent:
The Department of the Treasury, by this public notice, invites
tenders for two series of Treasury bills totaling approximately
$8,000 million, to be issued July 10, 1980. This offering will provide
$1,300 million of new cash for the Treasury as the maturing bills
are outstanding in the amount of $6,701 million, including $599
million currently held by Federal Reserve Banks as agents for for­
eign and international monetary authorities, and $1,821 million cur­
rently held by Federal Reserve Banks for their own account. The
two series offered are as follows:
91-day bills (to maturity date) for approximately $4,000
million, representing an additional amount of bills dated
April 10, 1980, and to mature October 9, 1980 (C U SIP
No. 912793 5J 1), originally issued in the amount of $3,466
million, the additional and original bills to be freely
interchangeable.
182-day bills for approximately $4,000 million to be dated
July 10, 1980, and to mature January 8, 1981 (C U SIP
No. 912793 5U6).
Both series of bills will be issued for cash and in exchange for
Treasury bills maturing July 10, 1980. Tenders from Federal
Reserve Banks for themselves and as agents for foreign and inter­
national monetary authorities will be accepted at the weighted
average prices of accepted competitive tenders. Additional amounts
of the bills may be issued to Federal Reserve Banks, as agents for
foreign and international monetary authorities, to the extent that
the aggregate amount of tenders for such accounts exceeds the
aggregate amount of maturing bills held by them.
The bills will be issued on a discount basis under competitive and
noncompetitive bidding, and at maturity their par amount will be
payable, without interest. Both series of bills will be issued entirely
in book-entry form in a minimum amount of $10,000 and in any
higher $5,000 multiple, on the records either of the Federal Reserve
Banks and Branches, or of the Department of the Treasury.
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, Monday, July 7, 1980.
Form PD 4632-2 (for 26-week series) or Form PD 4632-3 (for
13-week series) should be used to submit tenders for bills to be
maintained on the book-entry records of the Department of the
T reasury.
Each tender must be for a minimum of $10,000. Tenders over
$10,000 must be in multiples of $5,000. In the case of competitive
tenders the price offered must be expressed on the basis of 100,
with not more than three decimals, e.g., 99.925. Fractions may not
be used.
Banking institutions and 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. Each tender must state the amount of any net long
position in the bills being offered if such position is in excess of $200
million. This information should reflect positions held at the close of

business on the day prior to the auction. Such positions would in­
clude bills acquired through "when issued” trading, and futures and
forward transactions as well as holdings of outstanding bills with
the same maturity date as the new offering, e.g., bills with three
months to maturity previously offered as six month bills. Dealers
who make primary markets in Government securities and report
daily to the Federal Reserve Bank of New7 York their positions in
and borrowings on such securities, when submitting tenders for cus­
tomers, must submit a separate tender for each customer whose net
long position in the bill being offered exceeds $200 million.
Payment for the full par amount of the bills applied for must
accompany all tenders submitted for bills to be maintained on the
book-entry records of the Department of the Treasury. A cash
adjustment will be made on all accepted tenders for the difference
between the par payment submitted and the actual issue price as
determined in the auction.
No deposit need accompany tenders from incorporated banks
and trust companies and from responsible and recognized dealers
in investment securities for bills to be maintained on the book-entry
records of Federal Reserve Banks and Branches.
Public announcement will be made by the Department of the
Treasury of the amount and price range of accepted bids. Competi­
tive bidders will be advised of the acceptance or rejection of their
tenders. The Secretary of the Treasury expressly reserves the right
to accept or reject any or all tenders, in whole or in part, and the
Secretary’s action shall be final. Subject to these reservations,
noncompetitive tenders for each issue for $500,000 or less without
stated price from any one bidder will be accepted in full at the
weighted average price (in three decimals) of accepted competitive
bids for the respective issues.
Settlement for accepted tenders for bills to be maintained on the
book-entry records of Federal Reserve Banks and Branches must
be made or completed at the Federal Reserve Bank or Branch on
July 10, 1980, in cash or other immediately available funds or in
Treasury bills maturing July 10, 1980. Cash adjustments will be
made for differences between the par value of the maturing bills
accepted in exchange and the issue price of the new bills.
Under Sections 454(b) and 1221(5) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1954 the amount of discount at which these bills are sold
is considered to accrue when the bills are sold, redeemed or other­
wise disposed of, and the bills are excluded from consideration as
capital assets. Accordingly, the cnvner of these bills (other than
life insurance companies) must include in his or her Federal in­
come tax return, as ordinary gain or loss, the difference between
the price paid for the bills, whether on original issue or on sub­
sequent purchase, and the amount actually received either upon sale
or redemption at maturity during the taxable year for which the
return is made.
Department of the Treasury Circulars, Public Debt Series—Nos.
26-76 and 27-76, and this notice, prescribe the terms of these Treas­
ury bills and govern the conditions of their issue. Copies of the
circulars and tender forms may be obtained from any Federal Re­
serve Bank or Branch, or from the Bureau of the Public Debt.

This Bank will receive tenders for both series up to 1 :30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Monday, July 7,
1980, at the Securities Department of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch. Tender forms for the respective series
are enclosed. Please use the appropriate forms to submit tenders and return them in the enclosed envelope marked “Ten­
der for T reasury Bills.” Form s for submitting tenders directly to the Treasury are available from the Government
Bond Division of this Bank. Tenders not requiring a deposit may be submitted by telegraph, subject to w rit­
ten confirmation; no tenders may be submitted by telephone. Payment for Treasury bills cannot be made by credit
through the Treasury T ax and Loan Account. Settlement must be made in cash or other immediately available funds
or in maturing Treasury bills.
Results of the last weekly offering of Treasury bills are shown on the reverse side of this circular.
