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

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.

or rejection of their tenders.
