Issues related to public debt management have changed considerably in recent years. The changed relative size of the Federal Government debt, the increased importance of agency issues - these and other factors make a fresh look at debt management issues appropriate at this time.

All of the papers and comments of discussants included in this volume were presented at a conference sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston in June 1973.
