McCain discusses bailout deal with Romney, CEOs

NEW YORK (AP) — Republican presidential candidate John McCain has been meeting with a panel of business executives to discuss the Bush administration's proposed $700 billion bailout for U.S. financial markets.

McCain says he is seeking their opinions on the proposal so that Americans can regain their confidence in Wall Street and Washington.

McCain renewed his insistence that the bailout deal have greater transparency, oversight and CEO accountability to make it acceptable for voters.

Joining McCain for the meeting Wednesday in New York is former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, his one-time rival for the GOP nomination.

McCain planned to meet several foreign leaders on Wednesday and then appear on David Letterman's talk show.
