Bureau of the Public Debt - "Our job is to borrow the money needed to operate the Federal Government and to 
        account for the resulting debt. In a nutshell, we borrow by selling Treasury bills, notes, and bonds, as well 
        as U.S. Savings Bonds; we pay interest to investors; and, when the time comes to pay back the loans, we 
        redeem investors' securities."

        visibility and ease of use of open access scientific and scholarly journals thereby promoting their 
        increased usage and impact." From Lund University, Sweden.

        funds; and by limiting the effect on the economy and the financial system when a bank or thrift institution 
        fails."
Federal Reserve System - "The Federal Reserve System is the central bank of the United States. It was 
        founded by Congress in 1913 to provide the nation with a safer, more flexible, and more stable monetary
