Brief comments on the economy and the business of the Dallas Fed
Fisher, Richard W. (2007)
Remarks before the Park Cities Rotary Club, Dallas, Texas, February 9, 2007 ; "At this early juncture in 2007, I think it entirely reasonable to expect the economy to maintain an average pace of 3 percent growth for the year.

Remarks to the Headliners Club
Fisher, Richard W. (2007)

Texas excels at the high-value-added end of the equation: Our output per worker in computers and ...
