General Services Administration, the Secretary of the Treasury has 
determined that renewal of the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee of 
The Bond Market Association (the ``Committee'') is necessary and in the 
public interest in connection with the performance of duties imposed on 
the Department of the Treasury by law.

informed advice as representatives of the financial community to the 
Secretary of the Treasury and Treasury staff, upon the Secretary of the 
Treasury's request, in carrying out Treasury responsibilities for 
federal financing and public debt management.
    The Committee meets to consider special items on which its advice 
is sought pertaining to immediate Treasury funding requirements and 
pertaining to longer term approaches to manage the national debt in a

government securities market and who are involved in senior positions 
in debt markets as institutional investors, investment advisors, or as 
dealers in government securities.

Associate Director of the Office of Market Finance, reporting through 
the Assistant Secretary for Financial Markets. The Treasury Department 
filed copies of the Committee's renewal charter with appropriate 
committees in Congress.

    Dated: July 21, 2003.

Assistant Secretary, Financial Markets.
