Frank Seeks Meeting With Obama to Push Warren as Consumer Chief

U.S. Representative Barney Frank, who helped write the law that creates the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, requested a meeting with President Barack Obama as part of his push to have Harvard law professor Elizabeth Warren named head of the new agency.

Frank, the Massachusetts Democrat who leads the House Financial Services Committee, joined 41 other lawmakers in urging “no further delay” on nominating Warren, 61, as the bureau’s first leader in a letter to Obama dated yesterday.
