5.714% bonds maturing Dec 31/53 with the Call at 2013. There are a lot of bells and whistles to this issue, so you definitely want to talk to your advisor to understand it before you make a play. Because of those features at the back end, the company will call it so it basically gives a 3% yield for a little over a year. This is for tax exempt accounts.
