FED actually has three mandates, one of them almost never mentioned:

* employment

* price level

* moderate long term interest rates

[chalst]

The requirement to pursue moderate long-term interest rates is usually seen as part of price stability, since the level of long-term interest rates is determined by inflation expectations.
