英语文摘：Geithner says 700-billion-dollar TARP will end soon

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said on Wednesday that the Obama administration will outline its plan to end the 700-billion-dollar financial bailout program, also known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).

    "We are close to the point where we can wind down this program and stop making new commitments," Geithner told the Senate Agriculture Committee.

    "Nothing would make me happier than to end it as quickly as possible," the Treasury chief said at the hearing. But he did not provide details of the expiring date.
