| Former Dallas Fed President Bob McTeer An Update on the Economic and Financial Situation |
Bob McTeer is a Distinguished Fellow at the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA), covering
macro-economic issues, including monetary policy, fiscal policy, tax and education policy.
Prior to joining the NCPA, Bob was Chancellor of the Texas A&M University and had a 36-year career
with the Federal Reserve System, including 14 years as President of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Dallas and member of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). As a Fed policymaker, Bob
gained a national reputation as an independent voice, or maverick, dissenting from the Alan
Greenspan majority twice in 1999 and once in 2002. His dissents and his outspoken views and plain
talk got him the labels “Lone Star Loner” and “The Lonesome Dove.” He says he’s been called
worse.
Bob’s free-market views in general and his vigorous support of free-trade in particular, gave the Dallas
Fed its reputation during his tenure as “The Free-Enterprise Fed.” He is a world renowned speaker
and is a frequent guest on CNBC and also appears on Bloomberg TV and Bloomberg Radio.
