Tim, I think I already covered the matter (and very thoroughly, if I do say so myself <g>) when I wrote: It is a special class of US Treasury Bond. If it is "meaningless" then ALL US Treasury Bonds are "meaningless". (And, just a little personal observation here, I believe that if the day ever comes when the US stops payment on it's debts - we will be far more likely to repudiate foreign-owned debts before we would ever repudiate debts we own to our self! At least, that has been the practice of other countries, to favor their OWN and stiff the foreigners first. <GGG>)
