The Federal Reserve is in talks with the money-market mutual fund industry with an eye toward draining as much as $1 trillion from the financial system, Bloomberg News reported Thursday on its Web site, citing a person familiar with those discussions.

(FII), said talks between the Fed and the mutual fund industry "seem pretty positive," and that government and industry should be in a position to conduct those operations before the end of the year.
