WASHINGTON — Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said Tuesday he does not expect any more major financial institutions to fail during the current credit crisis. Paulson also said he has no current plans to ask Congress to make the second half of the $700 billion financial-rescue fund available before the Bush administration leaves office Jan. 20. But he added that the administration was prepared to move quickly, if necessary, to tap the extra resources.
“I think if we have shown anything, we have shown that we know how to respond quickly to situations that come up,” Paulson said. Associated Press; AP photo
