Bank Executives Agree To Accept Taxpayer Investments

Executives at nine of the nations largest banks have agreed to accept direct investments of taxpayer dollars, launching a plan that could ultimately give the government an ownership stake in a broad range of financial institutions, according to senior executives in the banking industry.

The Treasury Department is planning to spend up to $250 billion on ownership stakes under the rescue package that was approved by Congress and signed into law earlier this month, sources familiar with the matter said today.
