As some observers had anticipated, the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission announced that it will deliver its report some time in January 2011 rather than on December 15, as previously planned. They say “the additional time will allow the Commission to produce and disseminate a report which best serves the public interest and more fully informs the President, the Congress and the American people about the facts and causes of the crisis.” The Commission and new trade publisher Public Affairs are expected to announce a new publication date shortly.
