Fed Urged Not To Raise Rates

By JEANNINE AVERSA
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Top House Democrats overseeing economic policy urged the Federal Reserve
not to boost short-term interest rates next week, saying that previous rates increases are already working
to slow the red-hot economy and keep inflation under control.

``Proceeding with further efforts to slow down the growth of our economy at this point means accepting increases in unemployment
and real economic damage to our least prosperous citizens because of a fear of an inflation of which there is no significant
evidence,'' the lawmakers said in a letter Monday to the Federal Open Market Committee, which oversees interest rate policy.

PS Sounds like someone is begging.
