The Fed, Federal Reserve System, has three tools to use for its monetary policy. 1. Open Operations - buying or selling securities from the privite sector to control money supply. 2. Discount Loans - Setting discount rate that privite sector banks would need to pay the Fed to borrow money from them. 3. Reserve requirements - sets amount of money banks must have in their vaults in case customers come take money out. The Fed's current monetary policy is price stability and implicitly controling inflation.
Treasury bonds (or T-Bonds) mature in ten years or longer. They have coupon payment every six months like T-Notes, and are commonly issued with maturity dates of ten and thirty years. The secondary market is highly liquid, so the yield on the most recent T-Bond offering was commonly used as a proxy for long-term interest rates in general. This role has largely been taken over by the 10-year note, as the size and frequency of long-term bond issues declined significantly in the 1990s and early 2000s. The U.S. Federal government stopped issuing the well-known 30-year Treasury bonds (often called long-bonds) on October 31, 2001. As the U.S. government used its budget surpluses to pay down the Federal debt in the late 1990s, the 10-year Treasury note began to replace the 30-year Treasury bond as the general, most-followed metric of the U.S. bond market. However, due to demand from pension funds and large, long-term institutional investors, along with a need to diversify the Treasury's liabilities - and also because the flatter yield curve meant that the opportunity cost of selling long-dated debt had dropped - the 30-year Treasury bond was re-introduced in February 2006 and is now issued quarterly. This will bring the U.S. in line with Japan and European governments issuing longer-dated maturities amid growing global demand from pension funds. Some countries, including France and the United Kingdom, have begun offering a 50-year bond, known as a Methuselah.an interest-bearing bond issued by the US Treasury.

the three tools the Federal Reserve uses to enact monetary policy are setting the interest rate charged to commercial banks on loans from the Federal Reserve. Setting the reserve rate. The buying and selling of Treasury bonds and other government-backed securities
It is true that when the Federal Reserve decreases the money supply it generally does by selling bonds. When the Federal Reserve sells bonds it pushes prices down and increases rates.
