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

Following is the text of a notice issued by the Treasury Department:
The Departm ent of the Treasury, by this public notice, invites tenders
for two series of Treasury bills totaling approximately $13,600 million, to
be issued October 3, 1985. This offering will not provide new cash for the
Treasury, as the maturing bills are outstanding in the am ount o f $13,604
million. Tenders will be received at Federal Reserve Banks and Branches
and at the Bureau of the Public Debt, W ashington, D.C. 20239, prior to
1:00 p.m ., Eastern Daylight Saving time, M onday, September 30, 1985.
The two series offered are as follows:
91-day bills (to m aturity date) for approxim ately $6,800 million,
representing an additional am ount o f bills dated July 5, 1985,
and to m ature January 2, 1986 (CUSIP No. 912794 JL9), cur­
rently outstanding in the am ount o f $7,070 million, the addi­
tional and original bills to be freely interchangeable.
182-day bills for approxim ately $6,800 million, to be dated
October 3, 1985, and to m ature April 3, 1986 (CUSIP No.
912794 JZ8).
The bills will be issued on a discount basis under competitive an d non­
competitive bidding, and at m aturity their par am ount will be payable
w ithout 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 of the Treasury.
The bills will be issued for cash and in exchange for Treasury bills
m aturing October 3, 1985. In addition to the m aturing 13-week and
26-week bills, there are $8,311 million o f m aturing 52-week bills. The
disposition o f this latter am ount was announced last week. 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 o f accepted competitive tenders. Additional
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 ag­
gregate am ount o f tenders for such accounts exceeds the aggregate
am ount o f m aturing bills held by them . For purposes o f determining such
additional am ounts, foreign and international m onetary authorities are
considered to hold $1,463 million o f the original 13-week and 26-week
issues. Federal Reserve Banks currently hold $1,538 million as agents for
foreign and international m onetary authorities, and $5,370 million for
their own account. These am ounts represent the combined holdings of
such accounts for the three issues of m aturing bills. Tenders for bills to be
m aintained on the book-entry records of 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 must state the par am ount o f bills bid for, which must be a
minimum o f $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 am ount 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 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 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 noncom petitive bidder may not have entered into an agreement, nor
m ake an agreement to purchase or sell or otherwise dispose o f any nqncompetitive 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 of the Treasury. A cash adjustm ent will be
made on all accepted tenders for the difference between the par payment
subm itted and the actual issue price as determined 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 accompany tenders for such bills
from others, unless an express guaranty o f payment by an incorporated
bank or trust com pany accompanies the tenders.
Public announcem ent will be m ade 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, noncompetitive 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 of 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 immediately-available funds or in Treasury bills m aturing
on that date. Cash adjustm ents will be made for differences between the
par value o f 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 paym ent for allotm ents 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 m aturity, the am ount of 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 o f 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 of before m aturity, 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.

and 27-76, Treasury’s single bidder guidelines, and this notice prescribe the
