Summary
Sets the stage, previewing how the Accord of March 3, 1951, produced a sharp break in the conduct of open market and Treasury debt management operations and how institutional practices like “bills preferably,” the active use of repurchase agreements in open market operations, the extension of open market operations to coupon-bearing debt, and the advent of regular and predictable auction sales of coupon-bearing debt came about during the next quarter century.
