Fiscal Responsibility Summit: Anyone have a full list of attendees?
C-SPAN:
White House Holds Fiscal Summit
Today - Time: TBA

As the Obama administration tackles the economic crisis, Pres. Obama & V.P. Biden are hosting a bipartisan group of Congressmen and financial experts to a summit on fiscal issues. Cabinet Secretaries will also lead sessions on various policy issues such as taxes, Social Security, health care and the Budget.

NYT:
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.

WAPO:
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.
