US financial rescue plan delayed a week: Report
1 Feb 2009, 0639 hrs IST
WASHINGTON: The announcement of President Barack Obama's financial rescue plan will be pushed back a week to the second week of February, media reported on Saturday, citing administration sources.
"Administration aides are saying that they want to get the details right, that there are a lot of moving pieces, and so it's going to take an extra week," a news channel said. Administration officials are weighing elements to include in the plan, including whether to restrict executive compensation, how to get credit markets flowing and how to deal with the foreclosure crisis, channel said.
Efforts to get the first installment of the $700 billion bailout initiative were rushed, resulting in difficulties, and the Obama administration believes that "getting these details right might make sense," channel said.
President Barack Obama said earlier in the day the plan would be announced soon and would help lower mortgage costs for homeowners and spur the flow of credit to businesses and households.
"It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.” Abraham Lincoln, November 19, 1863
