T-bills are the short term variety, with a maturity of a year or less. They should be fine - one of the best and safest places to be, in my opinion. Even if interest rates go up, the new issue each year provides an improved yield.
Longer term bonds may be more problematic. Their long term nature makes them go down quite a lot if interest rates go up significantly.
Short, safe, and liquid are good goals - and you have all three with T-bills.
