Banks May Pool Billions to Avert Securities Sell-off...
Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America Corp. are involved in the discussions, according to people familiar with the situation. The three banks declined to comment.

The U.S. Treasury is involved in the discussions, but taxpayer money is not expected to be used.

The Financial Services Authority, the U.K. market regulator, has suggested U.K. banks consider participating in the fund, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday, citing a person familiar with the situation.
