          Description of the Treasury Constant Maturity Series

    Yields on Treasury securities at ``constant maturity'' are 
interpolated by the U.S. Treasury from the daily yield curve. This 
curve, which relates the yield on a security to its time to maturity, is 
based on the closing market bid yields on actively traded Treasury 
securities in the over-the-counter market. These market yields are 
calculated from composites of quotations reported by five leading U.S. 
Government securities dealers to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. 
The constant maturity yield values are read from the yield curve at 
fixed maturities, currently 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 30 years. This method 
provides a yield for a 10-year maturity, for example, even if no 
outstanding security has exactly 10 years remaining to maturity.
