The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

6.75% Subordinated Notes due 2037

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. will pay interest on the subordinated notes on April 1 and October 1 of each year.
The first payment will be made on April 1, 2008. Goldman Sachs may redeem some or all of the subordinated notes at
any time at the redemption price described in this prospectus supplement. In addition, if Goldman Sachs becomes
obligated to pay additional amounts to non-U.S. investors due to changes in U.S.withholding tax requirements,
Goldman Sachs may redeem the subordinated notes before their stated maturity at a price equal to 100% of the
principal amount redeemed plus accrued interest to the redemption date. The subordinated notes are unsecured and
rank junior in right of payment to our senior indebtedness. Holders of the subordinated notes may accelerate the
maturity of the subordinated notes only upon our bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, and not as a result of our
failure to pay interest or principal when due or upon the occurrence of another event of default.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or
disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any
representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Repayment of the subordinated notes is not protected by any Federal agency or by the Securities Investor
Protection Corporation.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT DATED SEPTEMBER 26, 2007
Table of Contents
· Redemption: We will have the option to redeem the subordinated notes, in whole or in part, at our option at any
time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the subordinated notes to be
redeemed or (2) as determined by the quotation agent described below under " -- When We Can Redeem the
Subordinated Notes", the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest
on the subordinated notes to be redeemed, not including any portion of these payments of interest accrued as of the
date on which the subordinated notes are to be redeemed, discounted to the date on which the subordinated notes
are to be redeemed, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the adjusted treasury rate
described below under " -- When We Can Redeem the Subordinated Notes" plus 30 basis points, plus, in each
case, accrued interest on the subordinated notes to be redeemed to the date on which the subordinated notes are to
be redeemed.

· Tax Redemption: We will have the option to redeem the subordinated notes before they mature if we become
obligated to pay additional amounts on the subordinated notes because of changes in U.S. withholding tax
requirements as described below under "-- When We Can Redeem the Subordinated Notes".

· Repayment at option of holder: none

· Subordination: The subordinated notes will be junior in right of payment to all of our senior indebtedness. This
means, among other things, that we will not be permitted to pay interest, principal or any other amount on the
subordinated notes (including upon redemption) if a default under our senior indebtedness has occurred and is
continuing, until all the amounts owing on our senior indebtedness have been paid in full. As of August 31, 2007,
we had outstanding, including accrued interest, approximately $246 billion of senior indebtedness. Our
subordinated debt indenture does not limit the amount of additional senior indebtedness we may incur. For a
description of our senior indebtedness and the restrictions on our ability to make payments on the subordinated
notes, see "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Subordination Provisions" in the accompanying
prospectus.
We have issued other series of subordinated debt securities in the past and may do so in the future. Those other
series are not subordinated in right of payment to the subordinated notes.
· Limited Events of Default; No Acceleration: The events of default under the subordinated notes will be limited
to our filing for bankruptcy or the occurrence of other events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization relating
to The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. The payment of principal of the subordinated notes may be accelerated only in
certain events involving our bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization (but not the bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization of any of our subsidiaries) under Chapters 7 (liquidation) and 11 (reorganization) of the U.
S. Bankruptcy Code. There will be no right of acceleration of the payment of principal of the subordinated notes
upon a default in the payment of principal, interest or any other amount (including upon redemption) on the
subordinated notes or in the performance of any of our covenants or agreements contained in the subordinated
notes or in our subordinated debt indenture. No such payment or performance default will result in an event of
default under the subordinated notes or permit any holders or the trustee to take action to enforce the subordinated
notes or the subordinated debt indenture, except that a holder will be entitled at any time to bring a lawsuit for the
payment of money due on the subordinated notes of such holder. The foregoing supersedes the information in
"Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Default, Remedies and Waiver of Default" in the accompanying
prospectus.

Additional Information About the Subordinated Notes
Book-Entry System
We will issue the subordinated notes as global notes registered in the name of DTC, or its nominee.
The sale of the subordinated notes will settle in immediately available funds through DTC. You will not be
permitted to withdraw the subordinated notes from DTC except in the limited situations described in the
accompanying prospectus under "Legal Ownership and Book-Entry Issuance -- What Is a Global
Security? -- Holder's Option to Obtain a Non-Global Security; Special Situations When a Global Security
Will Be Terminated".
Investors may hold interests in a global note through organizations that participate, directly or
indirectly, in the DTC system. Those organizations include Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg. See
"Legal Ownership and Book-Entry Issuance" in the accompanying prospectus for additional information
about indirect ownership of interests in the subordinated notes.
Payment of Additional Amounts
We intend to make all payments on the subordinated notes without deducting U.S. withholding taxes.
If we are required by law to deduct such taxes on payments to non-U.S. investors, however, we will pay
additional amounts on those payments to the extent described in this subsection.
We will pay additional amounts on a subordinated note only if the beneficial owner of the subordinated
note is a United States alien. The term "United States alien" means any person who, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, is:
· a nonresident alien individual;

· a foreign corporation;

· a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a foreign
corporation, a nonresident alien individual or a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust; or

· a nonresident alien fiduciary of an estate or trust that is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income
basis on income or gain from a note.
If the beneficial owner of a subordinated note is a United States alien, we will pay all additional
amounts that may be necessary so that every net payment of interest or principal on that subordinated
note will not be less than the amount provided for in that subordinated note. By net payment we mean the
amount we or our paying agent pays after deducting or withholding an amount for or on account of any
present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed with respect to that payment by
a U.S. taxing authority.
Our obligation to pay additional amounts is subject to several important exceptions, however. We will
not pay additional amounts for or on account of any of the following:
· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because at any time there is or was a connection
between the beneficial owner -- or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary or member of the beneficial owner, if
the beneficial owner is an estate, trust or partnership -- and the United States (other than the mere receipt of a
payment or the

ownership or holding of a subordinated note), including because the beneficial owner -- or the fiduciary, settlor,
beneficiary or member -- at any time, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
-- is or was a citizen or resident or is or was treated as a resident of the United States;

-- is or was present in the United States;

-- is or was engaged in a trade or business in the United States;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because of a change in applicable law or
regulation, or in any official interpretation or application of applicable law or regulation, that becomes effective
more than 15 days after the day on which the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

· any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth or personal property tax, or any similar tax, assessment
or other governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the beneficial owner or any other person
fails to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality,
residence, identity or connection with the United States of the holder or any beneficial owner of the subordinated
note, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the U.S. Treasury department or by an applicable
income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, as a precondition to exemption from the tax, assessment or
other governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that can be paid other than by deduction or withholding from a
payment on the subordinated notes;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the payment is to be made by a
particular paying agent (including The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.) and would not be imposed if made by another
paying agent;

· where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant
to any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings or any law implementing or complying with, or
introduced in order to conform to, such Directive;

· by or on behalf of a holder who would be able to avoid withholding or deduction by presenting the note to another
paying agent in a Member State of the European Union; or

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the holder (1) is a bank purchasing the
note in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) is a bank that is neither (A) buying the note for investment
purposes only nor (B) buying the note for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding the note for
investment purposes only; or
