WASHINTON The committee approved the nomination on an 18-5 vote, sending
it to the full Senate. President Barack Obama is hoping for quick
approval so that the point man for the administration's economic
rescue effort can begin work.

the panel to apologize for what he called "careless mistakes" in
failing to pay $34,000 in taxes earlier in the decade when he
worked at the International Monetary Fund.
