The 6 Month Bill is a marketable security distributed by the government to cover its debts. When buying it, you are lending money to the government and can expect some yield over time. Unlike notes, bills do not pay interest before maturity. Instead, the interest is the difference between the purchase price and the price paid at maturity.
