This could slow progress toward getting a rescue bill out of the Congress. Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi want a provision for CEO pay limits put into the bank bailout bill. A major showdown could result over that issue as Treasury is loath to ladle a bunch of extraneous regulation on top of a complex bill as an election campaign unfolds. Both sides will spin like tops on that issue, but the Dems probably have the stronger political hand given the economic backdrop.
