Treasurys were little changed on Wednesday, recovering from earlier losses as the size of the government's stimulus package grew to nearly $900 billion.
Traders are also focused on what the Federal Reserve will say when the central bank ends its policy meeting later on.
Yields on the two-year note (UST2YR), which move inversely to the price, rose 1 basis point to 0.88%. A basis point is 0.01%.
Ten-year note yields (UST10Y) were little changed at 2.53%.
A larger spending plan leads to more debt issuance, making investors demand higher yields.
President Barack Obama's stimulus proposal may be voted on by the House of Representatives later Wednesday.
