NATION : Bush Sets Brainstorming Session
President Bush invited a divergent group of economists and business leaders for “a freewheeling and open discussion of the economy” this weekend at Camp David, Md., a White House spokesman said today.
Marlin Fitzwater said the guests would include former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul A. Volcker, now a New York investment consultant and professor at Princeton University, IBM chief John Akers and Paul O’Neill, the chairman of Alcoa.
“It’s another one of these kinds of discussions the President likes to have with authorities and experts outside of the government to discuss all kinds of issues without worrying about policy decisions,” Fitzwater said.
