Greenspan Warns of Economic Weakness Amid Tax Cut Push
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan warned the economy may still slow and signaled further rate cuts to spur growth. In hearings before the House, Greenspan opposed endorsing a specific plan while Bush pressed for major tax cuts and a budget blueprint aimed at reducing debt and preserving key programs. Bush, in Beaver, Pa, called Greenspan's dour view a reason to accelerate tax relief.
