The Bureau of the Public Debt was

established on June 30, 1940, pursuant

to the Reorganization Act of 1939 (31

U.S.C. 306).

The Bureau’s mission is to borrow the

money needed to operate the Federal

Government, account for the resulting

public debt, and provide reimbursable

support to Federal agencies. The

Bureau fulf‌ills its mission through f‌ive

programs: wholesale securities services,

Government agency investment services,

retail securities services, summary debt

accounting, and franchise services.

The Bureau auctions and issues

Treasury bills, notes, and bonds and

manages the U.S. Savings Bond Program.

It issues, services, and redeems bonds

through a nationwide network of issuing

and paying agents. It provides daily and

other periodic reports to account for

the composition and size of the debt.

In addition, the Bureau implements the

regulations for the Government securities

market. These regulations provide for

investor protection while maintaining a

fair and liquid market for Government

securities.
