Also, the PERAB has launched a new website.  Our hope is to keep visitors informed on the PERAB's meetings and analysis as they advise the President.  One of the major duties of the PERAB is to ensure the President has independent, nonpartisan information, analysis, and advice.  The PERAB will solicit information and ideas from all sectors to promote the growth of the economy, establish a stable and sound financial and banking system, and create jobs.  The site gives some insight into areas the PERAB is focusing on and provides opportunities to give PERAB feedback and input on economic recovery ideas.  You will also be able to find up-to-date news on PERAB meetings and announcements.

We hope that you will use this site and share it with others.  We want you to come back and visit us often.
