TREASURY TO AUCTION $8,250 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 $8,250 million of 2-year notes to be issued April 2, 1984. This
issue will provide about $2,750 million new cash, as the maturing 2-year notes held by the public amount to
$5,500 million, including $667 million currently held by Federal Reserve Banks as agents for foreign and inter­
national monetary authorities.
In addition to the maturing 2-year notes, there are $2,236 million of maturing 4-year notes held by the
public. The disposition of this latter amount will be announced next week. Federal Reserve Banks as agents for
foreign and international monetary authorities currently hold $843 million, and Government accounts and
Federal Reserve Banks for their own accounts hold $1,397 million of maturing 2-year and 4-year notes.
The $8,250 million is being offered to the public, and any amounts tendered by Federal Reserve Banks for
their own accounts, or as agents for foreign and international monetary authorities, will be added to that
amount. Tenders for such accounts will be accepted at the average price of accepted competitive tenders.

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.
This Bank will receive tenders prior to 1:30 p.m., Eastern Standard time, Wednesday, March 21, 1984,
at the Securities Department of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch. All competitive 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

March 20.

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
