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 o f the Treasury, by this public notice, invites tenders
for two series o f Treasury bills totaling approximately $12,400 million, to
be issued July 28, 1983. This offering will provide $150 million o f new
cash for the Treasury, as the maturing bills are outstanding in the amount
o f $12,247 million, including $1,259 million currently held by Federal
Reserve Banks as agents for foreign and international monetary
authorities and $1,561 million currently held by Federal Reserve Banks
for their own account. Bidders should note that, effective with this offer­

ing, the maximum amount that will be accepted on a noncompetitive basis
from any one bidder for each series of bills has been raised to $1,000,000.
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 28,
1983, and to mature October 27, 1983 (CUSIP No. 912794
DV3), currently outstanding in the amount o f $6,179 million,
the additional and original bills to be freely interchangeable.
182-day bills (to maturity date) for approximately $6,200 million,
representing an additional amount o f bills dated January 27,
1983, and to mature January 26, 1984 (CUSIP No. 912794 EC4),
currently outstanding in the amount of $7,527 million, the addi­
tional and original bills to be freely interchangeable.
Both series o f bills will be issued for cash and in exchange for Treasury
bills maturing July 28, 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 o f 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 o f tenders for such ac­
counts exceeds the aggregate amount o f 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 o f
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 25, 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 maintained 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
o f 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 o f 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
$1,000,000 or less without stated yield from any one bidder will be
accepted in full at the weighted average bank discount rate (in two
decimals) o f accepted competitive bids for the respective issues. The
calculation o f 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 28, 1983, in
cash or other immediately-available funds or in Treasury bills maturing
July 28, 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,
