Tomorrow: Chairman Barney Frank to Address NDN

The spotlight certainly is shining on U.S. Rep. Barney Frank these days. As Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, he is tackling the housing crisis and economic downturn with his trademark grit, smarts, and nose for compromise. This is why NDN is so pleased to partner yet again with Chairman Frank when he addresses the NDN community tomorrow on the economy. 

Earlier this month, under Chairman Frank's leadership, the House passed the most comprehensive response yet to the American mortgage crisis - the American Housing Rescue and Foreclosure Prevention Act. This legislation responds directly to the current housing crisis facing middle income Americans. For commentary on Chairman Frank's housing rescue plan, check out today's editorial in the Washington Post - Holes in the Roof.

As head of the Financial Services Committee, Chairman Frank has emerged as a "key deal-maker, an unlikely bridge between his party's left-wing base and the free-market conservatives in the [Bush] administration." Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson recently commended Chairman Frank as a market-savvy pragmatist who consistently "looks for areas of agreement because he wants to get things done."

NDN will host this event as part of our series of Bernard Schwartz Forums on Economic Policy.
