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

Following is the text o f a notice issued by the Treasury Department:
The Department of the Treasury, by this public notice, invites tenders
for two series o f Treasury bills totaling approximately $12,400 million, to
be issued July 21, 1983. This offering will provide $175 million o f new
cash for the Treasury, as the maturing bills are outstanding in the amount
o f $12,223 million, including $1,651 million currently held by Federal
Reserve Banks as agents for foreign and international monetary
authorities and $1,608 million currently held by Federal Reserve Banks
for their own account. The two series offered are as follows:
91-day bills (to maturity date) for approximately $6,200 million,
representing an additional amount o f bills dated April 21,
1983, and to mature October 20, 1983 (CUSIP No. 912794
DU5), currently outstanding in the amount o f $6,246 million,
the additional and original bills to be freely interchangeable.
182-day bills for approximately $6,200 million, to be dated
July 21, 1983, and to mature January 19, 1984 (CUSIP No.
912794 EL4).
Both series o f bills will be issued for cash and in exchange for Treasury
bills maturing July 21, 1983. Tenders from Federal Reserve Banks for
themselves and as agents for foreign and international monetary
authorities will be accepted at the weighted average bank discount rates of
accepted competitive tenders. Additional amounts o f the bills may be
issued to Federal Reserve Banks, as agents for foreign and international
monetary authorities, to the extent that the aggregate amount o f 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 non­
competitive bidding, and at maturity their par amount will be payable
without interest. Both series o f bills will be issued entirely in book-entry
form in a minimum amount o f $10,000 and in any higher $5,000 multiple,
on the records either o f the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, or of
the Department o f the Treasury.
Tenders will be received at Federal Reserve Banks and Branches and at
the Bureau o f the Public Debt, Washington, D.C. 20226, up to 1:30 p.m.,
Eastern Daylight Saving time, Monday, July 18, 1983. 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 fnaintained on the book-entry
records o f the Department o f the Treasury.
Each tender must state the par amount o f bills bid for, which must be
a minimum o f $10,000. Tenders over $10,000 must be in multiples of
$5,000. Competitive tenders must also show the yield desired, expressed
on a bank discount rate basis with two decimals, e.g., 7.15%. Fractions
may not be used.
Banking institutions and dealers who make primary markets in Gov­
ernment securities and report daily to the Federal Reserve Bank o f New
York their positions in and borrowings on such securities may submit
tenders for account o f customers, if the names o f 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 o f $200 million. This information should reflect positions held as
o f 12:30 p.m ., Eastern time, on the day o f the auction. Such positions
would include bills acquired through “ when issued” trading, and futures
and forward transactions as well as holdings o f 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 o f New York their positions in and borrowings on such securities,
when submitting tenders for customers, must submit a separate tender for
each customer whose net long position in the bills being offered exceeds
$200 million.
Payment for the full par amount o f the bills applied for must accom­
pany all tenders submitted for bills to be maintained on the book-entry
records o f the Department o f 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 invest­
ment securities for bills to be maintained on the book-entry records of
Federal Reserve Banks and Branches. A deposit o f 2 percent o f the par
amount o f the bills applied for must accompany tenders for such bills
from others, unless an express guaranty of payment by an incorporated
bank or trust company accompanies the tenders.
Public announcement will be made by the Department o f the Treasury
o f the amount and yield range o f accepted bids. Competitive bidders will
be advised o f the acceptance or rejection o f their tenders. The Secretary
o f 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. Sub­
ject to these reservations, noncompetitive tenders for each issue for
$500,000 or less without stated yield from any one bidder will be accepted
in full at the weighted average bank discount rate (in two decimals) of
accepted competitive bids for the respective issues. The calculation of
purchase prices for accepted bids will be carried to three decimal places on
the basis o f price per hundred, e.g., 99.923, and the determinations o f the
Secretary o f the Treasury shall be final.
Settlement for accepted tenders for bills to be maintained on the bookentry records o f Federal Reserve Banks and Branches must be made or
completed at the Federal Reserve Bank or Branch on July 21, 1983, in
cash or other immediately-available funds or in Treasury bills maturing
July 21, 1983. Cash adjustments will be made for differences between the
par value o f the maturing bills accepted in exchange and the issue price of
the new bills.
Under Section 454(b) o f the Internal Revenue Code, the amount of
discount at which these bills are sold is considered to accrue when the bills
are sold, redeemed, or otherwise disposed of. Section 1232(a)(4) provides
that any gain on the sale or redemption o f these bills that does not exceed
the ratable share o f the acquisition discount must be included in the
Federal income tax return o f the owner as ordinary income. The
acquisition discount is the excess o f the stated redemption price over the
taxpayer’s basis (cost) for the bill. The ratable share o f this discount is
determined by multiplying such discount by a fraction, the numerator o f
which is the number o f days the taxpayer held the bill and the
denominator o f which is the number o f days from the day following the
taxpayer’s date o f purchase to the maturity o f the bill. If the gain on the
sale o f a bill exceeds the taxpayer’s ratable portion o f the acquisition
discount, the excess gain is treated as short-term capital gain.
Department o f the Treasury Circulars, Public Debt Series—Nos.
26-76 and 27-76, and this notice, prescribe the terms o f these Treasury
bills and govern the conditions o f their issue. Copies o f the circulars and
tender forms may be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch,
or from the Bureau o f the Public Debt.

This Bank will receive tenders for both series up to 1:30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Monday, July 18, 1983,
at the Securities Department of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch. Tender forms for both series are enclosed.
Please be sure to use them to submit tenders and return them in the enclosed envelope. Forms 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 written confirmation; no tenders may be submitted by telephone. P a y m e n t f o r
