    NEW YORK, Aug. 15 /EMWNews/ -- How can the Federal Reserve lean

toward higher rates to fight inflation while it contends with an economy

still weighed down by the housing market collapse? Is the Fed less

concerned about accelerating inflation as oil prices continue to tumble?

Kathleen Hays explores these and other questions in exclusive one-on-one

interviews with members of the Federal Open Market Committee.
