"The proposed resolution authority would not authorize the government to provide open-bank assistance to any failing firm."</p> <p>Geithner said a bill by the Financial Services Committee's chairman, Representative Barney Frank, meets the tests for key elements of a resolution authority that the Obama administration would like to see passed.</p> http://www.reuters.com/news/video?videoId=113920&feedType=VideoRSS&feedName=CreditCrisis&videoChannel=-10338
