DJ Greenspan/Interest Rate Cuts -2: Wall Street Saw Conflict WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said Thursday that tax cuts being contemplated by Congress will not deter the U.S. central bank from further interest rate cuts if it sees a need for them. Greenspan, testifying before the Senate Budget Committee, was asked by Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa whether tax cuts would alter the Fed's monetary policy. "We can reduce taxes even if you are in the process, as you did three weeks ago, or in the future, of reducing interest rates," Grassley asked. "There's no incompatibility?" Greenspan replied: "None that I'm aware of, senator." The Fed this month cut its key federal funds rate by half a percentage point to keep the economy out of recession. Economists on Wall Street expect the Fed to make an additional cut next week, and eventually lower the fed funds rate to 5% from its current level of 6%. But many of them have expressed worry that the Fed may decide not to cut rates as much if Congress enacts tax cuts. -By Joseph Rebello, Dow Jones Newswires; 202-862-9279; joseph.rebello@dowjones.com (END) DOW JONES NEWS 01-25-

Mo I can't believe it, where the heck have you guys been? How's the back buddy? Dang, I been to T.O. quite frequently pre-Christmas as I was doing some consulting for a daytrader firm up there and forgot to look you up. Do resend your tel number and I won't forget next time. Source says JDSU will meet the street though like GLW, but there is a potential that their guidance may be interpreted as slowing. The sale of the euro plant is all set to pass to NT, and should be the final obstacle on the SDLI merger. You playing it?
