$6,600,000,000 off 182-Day Bills, To Be Issued July 19, 1984, Due January 17, 198S
To All Banking Institutions, 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 of Treasury bills totaling approximately $13,200 million, to
be issued July 19, 1984. This offering will provide $750 million of new
cash for the Treasury, as the maturing bills are outstanding in the amount
of $12,459 million, including $881 million currently held by Federal
Reserve Banks as agents for foreign and international monetary
authorities and $2,133 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 $6,600 million,
representing an additional amount of bills dated April 19,
1984, and to mature October 18, 1984 (CUSIP No. 912794
FY5), currently outstanding in the amount of $6,061 million,
the additional and original bills to be freely interchangeable.
182-day bills for approximately $6,600 million, to be dated July 19,
1984, and to mature January 17, 1985 (CUSIP No. 912794
GQ1).
Both series of bills will be issued for cash and in exchange for Treasury
bills maturing July 19, 1984. 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 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 of 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 of bills will be issued entirely in book-entry
form in a minimum amount of $10,000 and in any higher $5,000 multiple,
on the records either of the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, or of
the Department of the Treasury.
Tenders will be received at Federal Reserve Banks and Branches and at
the Bureau of the Public Debt, Washington, D.C. 20239, prior to 1:00
p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Monday, July 16, 1984. 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 of the Department of the Treasury.
Each tender must state the par amount of bills bid for, which must be a
minimum of $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. A single bidder, as defined in Treasury’s single bidder guidelines, shall
not submit noncompetitive tenders totaling more than $1,000,000.
Banking institutions and dealers who make primary markets in Gov­
ernment 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. 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 of $200 million. This information should reflect positions held as
of 12:30 p.m., Eastern time, on the day of the auction. Such positions
would include bills acquired through “ when issued” trading, and futures
and forward transactions as well as holdings of 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 of 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.

A noncompetitive bidder may not have entered into an agreement, or
may not make an agreement with respect to the purchase or sale or other
disposition of any noncompetitive awards of this issue in this auction
prior to the designated closing time for receipt of tenders.
Payment for the full par amount of the bills applied for must accom­
pany all tenders submitted for bills to be maintained on the book-entry
records of the Department of 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 of 2 percent of the par
amount of 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 of the Treasury
of the amount and yield range of accepted bids. Competitive bidders will
be advised of the acceptance or rejection of their tenders. The Secretary
of 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) 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 of price per hundred, e.g., 99.923, and the
determinations of the Secretary of the Treasury shall be final.
Settlement for accepted tenders for bills to be maintained on the bookentry records of Federal Reserve Banks and Branches must be made or
completed at the Federal Reserve Bank or Branch on July 19, 1984, in
cash or other immediately-available funds or in Treasury bills maturing
July 19, 1984. Cash adjustments will be made for differences between the
par value of the maturing bills accepted in exchange and the issue price of
the new bills. In addition, Treasury Tax and Loan Note Option
Depositaries may make payment for allotments of bills for their own
accounts and for account of customers by credit to their Treasury Tax
and Loan Note Accounts on the settlement date.
Under Section 454(b) of 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 of these bills that does not exceed
the ratable share of the acquisition discount must be included in the
Federal income tax return of the owner as ordinary income. The
acquisition discount is the excess of the stated redemption price over the
taxpayer’s basis (cost) for the bill. The ratable share of this discount is
determined by multiplying such discount by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days the taxpayer held the bill and the
denominator of which is the number of days from the day following the
taxpayer’s date of purchase to the maturity of the bill. If the gain on the
sale of a bill exceeds the taxpayer’s ratable portion of the acquisition
discount, the excess gain is treated as short-term capital gain.
Department of the Treasury Circulars, Public Debt Series—Nos.
26-76 and 27-76, Treasury’s single bidder guidelines, and this notice,
prescribe the terms of these Treasury bills and govern the conditions of
their issue. Copies of the circulars, guidelines, and tender forms may be
obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch, or from the Bureau
of the Public Debt.

This Bank will receive tenders for both series prior to 1:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Monday, July 16,
1984, 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. Settlement
must be made in cash or other immediately available funds or in Treasury securities maturing on or before the issue date.
Treasury Tax and Loan Note Option Depositaries may make payment fo r Treasury bills by credit to their Treasury Tax
and Loan Note Accounts.
Results of the last weekly offering of Treasury bills are shown on the reverse side of this circular.
