[R-SIG-Finance] Reading the GSW spot rates from fed 2006 website

[Alexey Zemnitskiy]

Hi Mahmoud,

You could also let the guys from Quandl know if some major rates time
series is missing from their current set

https://www.quandl.com/collections/usa/usa-interest-rates

They have an R package on CRAN to consume their data.

Best,

Alex Zemnitskiy
