Following is the text of 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 $14,000 million, to
be issued May 9, 1985. This offering will not provide new cash for the
Treasury, as the maturing bills are outstanding in the amount of $13,978
million. 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, May 6, 1985. The two
series offered are as follows:
91-day bills (to maturity date) for approximately $7,000 million,
representing an additional amount of bills dated August 9,
1984, and to mature August 8, 1985 (CUSIP No. 912794 HK3),
currently outstanding in the amount of $15,523 million, the
additional and original bills to be freely interchangeable.
182-day bills for approximately $7,000 million, to be dated May 9,
1985, and to mature November 7, 1985 (CUSIP No. 912794
JE5).
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.
The bills will be issued for cash and in exchange for Treasury bills
maturing May 9, 1985. Tenders from Federal Reserve Banks for their own
account 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.
Federal Reserve Banks currently hold $1,139 million as agents for foreign
and international monetary authorities, and $2,729 million for their own
account. Tenders for bills to be maintained on the book-entry records of
the Department of the Treasury should be submitted on Form PD 4632-2
(for 26-week series) or Form PD 4632-3 (for 13-week series).
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 Govern­
ment 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 transac­
tions 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 Govern­
ment 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 bill being offered exceeds $200 million.
A noncompetitive bidder may not have entered into an agreement, nor
make an agreement to purchase or sell or otherwise dispose of any non­
competitive awards of this issue being auctioned 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 ac­
cepted 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 the issue date, in
cash or other immediately-available funds or in Treasury bills maturing
on that date. 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.
In general, if a bill is purchased at issue after July 18, 1984, and held
to maturity, the amount of discount is reportable as ordinary income in
the Federal income tax return of the owner at the time of redemption.
Accrual-basis taxpayers, banks, and other persons designated in section
1281 of the Internal Revenue Code must include in income the portion of
the discount for the period during the taxable year such holder held the
bill. If the bill is sold or otherwise disposed of before maturity, the por­
tion of the gain equal to the accrued discount will be treated as ordinary
income. Any excess may be treated as 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.
