How would you describe the weather in FedSpeak? Owen Bennett-Jones asks Alan Greenspan and this is what he says:
I would generally expect that today in Washington DC. the probability of changes in the weather is highly uncertain, but we are monitoring the data in such a way that we will be able to update people on changes that are important.
This is part of the press rounds that Mr Greenspan has been making since he published his memoirs “The Age of Turbulence“. Actually, I don’t know if I should say he has been making a press rounds or if the press themselves have been seeking him. When one is a former Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve of the United States, one hardly has to court the press when one publishes a book.

Have a nice week!
