NEW YORK - The Treasury Department said Thursday it will auction $29 billion 91-day bills and $27 billion 182-day discount bills Monday.
The 91s settle Dec. 22 and are due March 22, 2012, and the 182s settle Dec. 22, and are due June 21, 2012.
Currently, there are $27.001 billion 91-days outstanding and no 182s.
