WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 (UPI) -- A critical, but murky aspect of the $700 billion financial bailout plan under debate in Washington is choosing a successor for the plan's designer.
U.S. Secretary Henry Paulson Jr. has said he will step down from his post in January, leaving behind a plan -- which in its original form included massive amounts of money spent that "may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency" -- in the hands of others, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
