As you may recall, some time ago the UST changed
"www.treasurydirect.gov" into a book-entry Savings Bonds-only site,
leaving the bills/notes/bonds stuff available via the "Electronic
Services for Treasury Bills, Notes and Bonds" site.

A couple of new developments at TreasuryDirect.gov:
* You can now optionally convert physical savings bonds
  into book-entry form.
* Supposedly "coming soon", the marketable treasuries
  wing will be brought back into TreasuryDirect.gov,
  and so from a single login you can access both
  your savings bonds holdings and your marketable
  securities holdings.
