To All Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned,
in the Second Federal Reserve District:

Following is the text of 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 $14,400 million, to
be issued July 11, 1985. This offering will provide about $425 million o f
new cash for the Treasury, as the maturing bills are outstanding in the
amount o f $13,971 million. Tenders will be received at Federal Reserve
Banks and Branches and at the Bureau o f the Public Debt, Washington,
D.C. 20239, prior to 1:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Monday,
July 8, 1985. The two series offered are as follows:
91-day bills (to maturity date) for approximately $7,200 million,
representing an additional amount o f bills dated April 11,
1985, and to mature October 10, 1985 (CUSIP No. 912794 JB1),
currently outstanding in the amount of $6,848 million, the
additional and original bills to be freely interchangeable.
182-day bills for approximately $7,200 million, to be dated July 11,
1985, and to mature January 9, 1986 (CUSIP No. 912794 JM7).
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.
The bills will be issued for cash and in exchange for Treasury bills
maturing July 11, 1985. In addition to the maturing 13-week and 26-week
bills, there are $8,408 million o f maturing 52-week bills. The disposition
o f this latter amount was announced last week. Tenders from Federal
Reserve Banks for their own account and as agents for foreign and inter­
national monetary authorities will be accepted at the weighted average
bank discount rates o f 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. For purposes o f determining such additional
amounts, foreign and international monetary authorities are considered
to hold $931 million o f the original 13-week and 26-week issues. Federal
Reserve Banks currently hold $1,206 million as agents for foreign and in­
ternational monetary authorities, and $5,118 million for their own ac­
count. These amounts represent the combined holdings o f such accounts
for the three issues o f maturing bills. Tenders for bills to be maintained
on the book-entry records o f the Department o f 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 o f bills bid for, which must be a
minimum o f $10,000. Tenders over $10,000 must be in multiples o f $5,000.
Com petitive 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 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 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 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 Govern­
ment 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 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 o f this issue being auctioned prior to the designated
closing time for receipt o f tenders.
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
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)
o f 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 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 o f the maturing bills accepted in exchange and the issue price o f
the new bills. In addition, Treasury Tax and Loan Note Option
Depositaries may make payment for allotments o f bills for their own
accounts and for account o f 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 o f discount is reportable as ordinary income in
the Federal income tax return o f the owner at the time o f redemption.
Accrual-basis taxpayers, banks, and other persons designated in section
1281 o f the Internal Revenue Code must include in income the portion o f
the discount for the period during the taxable year such holder held the
bill. If the bill is sold or otherwise disposed o f before maturity, the por­
tion o f the gain equal to the accrued discount will be treated as ordinary
income. Any excess may be treated as capital gain.
Department o f the Treasury Circulars, Public Debt Series—Nos. 26-76
and 27-76, Treasury’s single bidder guidelines, and this notice prescribe the
terms o f these Treasury bills and govern the conditions of their issue.
Copies o f the circulars, guidelines, 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 prior to 1:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Monday, July 8, 1985,
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 for Treasury bills by credit to their Treasury Tax
and Loan Note Accounts.
Results of the last weekly offering are shown on the reverse side of this circular.
