WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)–U.S. President George W. Bush will discuss the economy
with top advisers early Monday, then make remarks to reporters, the White House
said.

The White House said Bush will have “policy time” on the economy at 9:00 a.m. At
the end of that session, he will address a small pool of reporters.

The meeting is separate from this afternoon’s gathering of the President’s
Working Group on Financial Markets, which is set for 2:10 p.m. Bush is scheduled
to make remarks after that meeting as well.

The focus on the economy comes amid escalating worries about the U.S. economy and
the soundness of the world financial system. The Federal Reserve took action late
Sunday to shore up the system, but overseas stock markets and the dollar
continued to plunge early Monday, following J.P. Morgan Chase’s (JPM) purchase of
Bear Stearns Cos. (BSC)..
