SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to Sections 204(c) and 207(j) of 
the National Housing Act, 12 U.S.C. 1710(c), 1713(j), and in accordance 
with HUD's regulation at 24 CFR 203.409 and 207.259(e)(3), the 
Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner, with the 
approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, announces the call of all 
FHA debentures, with a coupon rate of 5.375 percent or above, except 
for those debentures subject to ``debenture lock agreements,'' that 
have been registered on the books of the Bureau of Public Debt, 
Department of the Treasury, and are, therefore, ``outstanding'' as of 
September 30, 2003. The date of the call is January 1, 2004.
    The debentures will be redeemed at par plus accrued interest. 
Interest will cease to accrue on the debentures as of the call date. 
Final interest on any called debentures will be paid with the principal 
at redemption.
    During the period from the date of this Notice to the call date, 
debentures that are subject to the call may not be used by the 
mortgagee for a special redemption purchase in payment of a mortgage 
insurance premium.
    No transfer of debentures covered by the foregoing call will be 
made on the books maintained by the Treasury Department on or after 
December 1, 2003. This does not affect the right of the holder of a 
debenture to sell or assign the debenture on or after this date. 
Payment of final principal and interest due on January 1, 2004, will be 
made automatically to the registered holder.

    Dated: September 9, 2003.
John C. Weicher,
Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner.
