22 March 2001, 11:28 Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan spoke
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan spoke to former Vice
President Albert Gore's journalism class at Columbia University
Wednesday afternoon but declined to comment on the Fed's Tuesday rate
cuts or other monetary policy issues, according to students who heard
his closed door remarks. With the traditional blackout period in effect
after Tuesday's interest rate decision, Gore steered Greenspan clear of
questions on market sensitive topics, including the Fed move and recent
Bank of Japan actions. Gore himself praised Greenspan in a chat with
reporters after the class. "He (Greenspan) is the best at monetary
policy, that I've ever seen ... and he's the best there is," Gore said.
