Thanks. What would you call the Fed 's action of buying Treasuries. I thought that WAS QE.

QE is not the actual buying of the bonds, but it is about where the money to buy the bonds comes from. The answer is printing banknotes. Therefore buying bonds is just a way to circulate more money into the economy.
