Sec. 2281. Congressional findings and declaration of purpose

-STATUTE-

The Congress finds that demands for funds through Federal and

federally assisted borrowing programs are increasing faster than

the total supply of credit and that such borrowings are not

adequately coordinated with overall Federal fiscal and debt

management policies. The purpose of this chapter is to assure

coordination of these programs with the overall economic and fiscal

policies of the Government, to reduce the cost of Federal and

federally assisted borrowings from the public, and to assure that

such borrowings are financed in a manner least disruptive of

private financial markets and institutions.

-STATUTE-

(a) Method, source, timing, terms, and conditions of sale of

obligations issued or sold by Federal agencies

To insure the orderly and coordinated marketing of Treasury and

Federal agency obligations and appropriate financing planning with

respect thereto, and to facilitate the effective financing of

programs authorized by law subject to the applicable provisions of

such law, the prior approval of the Secretary of the Treasury shall

be required with respect to -

(1) the method of financing,

(2) the source of financing,

(3) the timing of financing in relation to market conditions

and financing by other Federal agencies, and

(4) the financing terms and conditions, including rates of

interest and maturities,

of obligations issued or sold by any Federal agency; except that

the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury shall not be required

with respect to (A) obligations issued or sold pursuant to an Act

of Congress which expressly prohibits any guarantee of such

obligations by the United States, and (B) obligations issued or

sold by the Farmers Home Administration.

(b) Grant or denial of approval by Secretary

Upon receipt of a request from a Federal agency for his approval

under subsection (a) of this section, the Secretary of the Treasury

shall act promptly either to grant his approval or to advise the

agency of the reasons for withholding his approval. In no case

shall the Secretary of the Treasury withhold such approval for a

period longer than sixty days unless, prior to the end of such

period, he submits to the Congress a detailed explanation of his

reasons for so doing. In no case shall the Secretary withhold such

approval for a period longer than one hundred and twenty days. To

the maximum extent practicable, withholdings of approval shall be

made in a manner which is not disproportionately detrimental to the

functioning of any particular type of Federal program. Expedited

treatment shall be accorded in any case in which the Federal agency

advises the Secretary of the Treasury that unusual circumstances

require such treatment.

-STATUTE-

(a) Maximum amount of obligations issued publicly and outstanding

at any one time

The Bank is authorized, with the approval of the Secretary of the

Treasury, to issue publicly and have outstanding at any one time

not in excess of $15,000,000,000, or such additional amounts as may

be authorized in appropriations Acts, of obligations having such

maturities and bearing such rate or rates of interest as may be

determined by the Bank. Such obligations may be redeemable at the

option of the Bank before maturity in such manner as may be

stipulated therein. So far as is feasible, the debt structure of

the Bank shall be commensurate with its asset structure.

(b) Purchase and sale of obligations of Federal Financing Bank by

Secretary of the Treasury as public debt transactions

The Bank is also authorized to issue its obligations to the

Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of the Treasury may in

his discretion purchase or agree to purchase any such obligations,

and for such purpose the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to

use as a public debt transaction the proceeds of the sale of any

securities hereafter issued under chapter 31 of title 31, and the

purposes for which securities may be issued under chapter 31 of

title 31 are extended to include such purchases. Each purchase of

obligations by the Secretary of the Treasury under this subsection

shall be upon such terms and conditions as to yield a return at a

rate not less than a rate determined by the Secretary of the

Treasury, taking into consideration the current average yield on

outstanding marketable obligations of the United States of

comparable maturity. The Secretary of the Treasury may sell, upon

such terms and conditions and at such price or prices as he shall

determine, any of the obligations acquired by him under this

subsection. All purchases and sales by the Secretary of the

Treasury of such obligations under this subsection shall be treated

as public debt transactions of the United States.

(c) Authority of Federal Financing Bank to require Secretary of the

Treasury to purchase obligations of the Bank

The Bank may require the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase

obligations of the Bank issued pursuant to subsection (b) of this

section in such amounts as will not cause the holding by the

Secretary of the Treasury resulting from such required purchases to

exceed $5,000,000,000 at any one time. This subsection shall not

be construed as limiting the authority of the Secretary to purchase

obligations of the Bank in excess of such amount.

(d) Bank obligations as lawful investments

Obligations of the Bank issued pursuant to this section shall be

lawful investments, and may be accepted as security for all

fiduciary, trust, and public funds, the investment or deposit of

which shall be under the authority or control of the United States,

the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or any

territory or possession of the United States, or any agency or
