The US Treasury had just $67 billion of extraordinary measures left to help keep the government’s bills paid as of May 24, the department said in a statement Friday.

That’s out of a total of $335 billion of authorized measures that were available to keep the US government from running out of borrowing room under the statutory debt limit and is down from around $92 billion on May 17.
