White House Plans ‘Fiscal Responsibility Summit’
Now that President Obama has signed a $787 stimulus package into law and weighed tens of billions more to aid homeowners and banks, he will take a break next Monday to consider just how the government can get a grip on its increasingly ugly balance sheet.
The White House is finishing plans for what it is calling a “fiscal responsibility summit,” a three-hour bipartisan wonk-fest. Invitations are going out this week to 90 people: 30 members of the House, 30 senators and 30 scholars and representatives of advocacy groups such as AARP, according to a person familiar with the plans.

The summit, which will be held in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, has an interesting guest list including: Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), House Republican Policy Committee Chairman Thad McCotter (Mich.), House Majority Whip Steny Hoyer (Md.), Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (Mont.) and even Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.), the administration's erstwhile pick as commerce secretary. Representatives from interest groups as far flung as the Service Employees International Union and the Heritage Foundation also plan to attend.
