Latest on bailout: Bush says 'no disagreement' something 'substantial must be done'


(NECN: Washington) - President Bush is pleading anew for a quick passage of a plan to rescue troubled financial markets. He issued a brief statement this morning from the White House.

Bush cited disagreements on details of the rescue plan, but said everyone agrees that action is needed now.

The chairman of the House Financial Services Committee says the fate of a federal rescue plan for the financial industry depends on House Republicans dropping their revolt against President Bush. Congressman Barney Frank says Democratic lawmakers were shocked at the divisiveness on display at yesterday's White House summit.
