Fiscal Agent of the United States

Circular No. 9184
November 12, 1981
TREASURY TO AUCTION $4,750 MILLION OF 2-YEAR NOTES
To All Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned,
in the Second Federal Reserve District:

The following statement was issued by the Treasury Department:

The Department of the Treasury will auction $4,750 million of 2-year notes to refund $4,225 million of
notes maturing November 30, 1981, and to raise $525 million new cash. The $4,225 million of maturing notes are
those held by the public, including $843 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 $669 million of the maturing securities that may be refunded by issuing additional amounts of the
new notes at the average price of accepted competitive tenders. Additional amounts of the new security may also
be issued at the average price 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 securities held by them.

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 for your use 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, Wednesday, November 18,
1981, at the Securities Department of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch. A ll com petitive 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 Novem ber 17.

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 with a tender may be in the form of a personal check, which need not be certified, an official
bank check, or a Federal funds check (a check drawn by a depository institution on its Federal Reserve
account). All checks must be drawn payable to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; checks endorsed to
this Bank will not be accepted. Payment may also be made in cash or in Treasury securities maturing on or
before the issue date of the securities being purchased.
Recorded messages provide information about Treasury offerings and about auction results: at the
Head Office — Tel. No. 212-791-7773 (offerings) and Tel. No. 212-791-5823 (results); at the Buffalo
Branch — Tel. No. 716-849-5046. Additional inquiries regarding this offering may be made by calling, at
