Copies of the official offering circulars will be furnished upon request directed to our Government Bond Division (Tel. No. 212-791-6619). In addition, enclosed are copies of the forms to be used in submitting tenders. This Bank will receive tenders at the Securities Department of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch up?'to 1:30 p.m., Eastern Standard time, on the dates specified on the reverse side of this circular as the deadlines for receipt of tenders. A ll competitive tenders, whether transmitted by mail or by other means, must reach this Bank or its Branch by that time on the specified dates. 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 for each offering provides that noncompetitive tenders will be con sidered timely received if they are mailed to this Bank or its Branch under a postmark no later than the date preceding the date specified for receipt of tenders. 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.

Non-competitive tenders must show the term "noncompetitive" on the tender form in lieu of a specified yield. No bidder may submit more than one noncompetitive tender, and the amount may not exceed $1,000*000. 3. 3. Commercial banks, which for this purpose are defined as banks accepting demand deposits , and primary dealers , which for this purpose are defined as 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.

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. 3. 6. Competitive bidders will be advised of the acceptance or rejection of their tenders.
