Opening statements by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke, SEC Chairman Christopher Cox, and James Lockhart, Dir. Federal Housing Finance Agency.

Bernanke: If credit markets do not function jobs will be lost, unemployment rate will rise, more homes will go into foreclosure, GDP will contract, and the economy will not recover in a normal manner. We need to act to stabilize the situation as soon as possible.
