*FOMC SEES `SUFFICIENT UNDERLYING STRENGTH' IN ECONOMY*FOMC SAYS IT WILL LIKELY REDUCE QE IN `FURTHER MEASURED STEPS'*FED: LOW TARGET RATE APPROPRIATE FOR CONSIDERABLE TIME POST-QE*MORE FED OFFICIALS SEE AT LEAST 1% FED FUNDS RATE END OF 2015*FED DROPS 6.5% JOBLESS THRESHOLD FOR RAISING FED FUNDS RATEWhile Bernanke's last meeting appeared full of disagreement; this time less so (as Plosser and Fisher appeared not to dissent).
