Following is the text of a notice issued by the Treasury Department:
The D epartm ent o f the Treasury, by this public notice, invites tenders
for two series o f Treasury bills totaling approxim ately $14,400 million, to
be issued Septem ber 12, 1985. This offering will provide about $300
m illion of new cash for the Treasury, as the m aturing bills are outstanding
in the am ount o f $14,112 million. Tenders will be received at Federal
Reserve Banks and Branches and at the Bureau o f the Public Debt,
W ashington, D .C. 20239, prior to 1:00 p .m ., Eastern Daylight Saving time,
Monday, September 9, 1985. The two series offered are as follows:
91-day bills (to m aturity date) for approxim ately $7,200 million,
representing an additional am ount o f bills dated June 13, 1985,
and to m ature December 12, 1985 (CUSIP No. 912794 JJ4), cur­
rently outstanding in the am ount of $7,035 m illion, the
additional and original bills to be freely interchangeable.
182-day bills for approxim ately $7,200 million, to be dated
September 12, 1985, and to m ature M arch 13, 1986 (CUSIP
No. 912794 JW5).
The bills will be issued on a discount basis under competitive and non­
competitive bidding, and at m aturity their par am ount will be payable
without interest. Both series o f bills will be issued entirely in book-entry
form in a m inim um am ount 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 D epartm ent o f the Treasury.
The bills will be issued for cash and in exchange for Treasury bills
m aturing September 12, 1985. Tenders from Federal Reserve Banks for
their own account and as agents for foreign and international m onetary
authorities will be accepted at the weighted average bank discount rates of
accepted competitive tenders. A dditional am ounts o f the bills may be
issued to Federal Reserve Banks, as agents for foreign and international
m onetary authorities, to the extent that the aggregate am ount of tenders
for such accounts exceeds the aggregate am ount of m aturing bills held by
them . Federal Reserve Banks currently hold $1,079 million as agents for
foreign and international m onetary authorities, and $3,548 million for
their own account. Tenders for bills to be m aintained on the book-entry
records o f the D epartm ent o f the Treasury should be subm itted on Form
PD 4632-2 (for 26-week series) or Form PD 4632-3 (for 13-week series).
Each tender m ust state the par am ount of bills bid for, which must be a
minimum of $10,000. Tenders over $10,000 m ust 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 o f customers, if the names o f the customers and the am ount for
each customer are furnished. Others are only permitted to submit tenders
for their own account. Each tender must state the am ount o f any net long
position in the bills being offered if such position is in excess of $200
million. This inform ation 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 m aturity date as
the new offering, e.g., bills with three m onths to m aturity 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 noncom petitive bidder may not have entered into an agreement, nor
make an agreement to purchase or sell or otherwise dispose o f any non­
competitive awards o f this issue being auctioned prior to the designated
closing time for receipt o f tenders.
Paym ent for the full par am ount o f the bills applied for m ust accom ­
pany all tenders subm itted for bills to be m aintained on the book-entry
records o f the D epartm ent o f the Treasury. A cash adjustm ent will be
made on all accepted tenders for the difference between the par paym ent
subm itted and the actual issue price as determ ined in the auction.
No deposit need accom pany tenders from incorporated banks and
trust companies and from responsible and recognized dealers in invest­
m ent securities for bills to be m aintained on the book-entry records of
Federal Reserve Banks and Branches. A deposit o f 2 percent o f the par
am ount o f the bills applied for m ust accom pany tenders for such bills
from others, unless an express guaranty o f paym ent by an incorporated
bank or trust com pany accompanies the tenders.
Public announcem ent will be made by the D epartm ent o f the Treasury
o f the am ount and yield range o f accepted bids. Com petitive 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, noncom petitive tenders for each issue for
$1,000,000 or less w ithout 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 determ inations o f the
Secretary o f the Treasury shall be final.
Settlement for accepted tenders for bills to be m aintained on the bookentry records o f Federal Reserve Banks and Branches m ust be made or
completed at the Federal Reserve Bank or Branch on the issue date, in
cash or other imm ediately-available funds or in Treasury bills m aturing
on that date. Cash adjustm ents will be m ade for differences between the
par value o f the m aturing bills accepted in exchange and the issue price of
the new bills. In addition, Treasury Tax and Loan N ote O ption
Depositaries may make paym ent for allotm ents o f bills for their own
accounts and for account o f customers by credit to their Treasury Tax
and Loan Note A ccounts on the settlement date.
In general, if a bill is purchased at issue after July 18, 1984, and held
to m aturity, the am ount o f discount is reportable as ordinary income in
the Federal income tax return o f the owner at the time o f redem ption.
Accrual-basis taxpayers, banks, and other persons designated in section
1281 of the Internal Revenue Code m ust 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 o f before m aturity, the p or­
tion o f the gain equal to the accrued discount will be treated as ordinary
income. Any excess m ay be treated as capital gain.
Departm ent 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 o f their issue.
Copies of 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, September 9,
1985, at the Securities Department of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch. Tender forms for both series are enclosed.

and Loan Note Accounts.
