From The Wall Street Journal (page A4 in the print edition):
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan toned down his warning that the U.S. might slip into a recession later this year, saying he doesn't think such a slowdown is "probable," according to investment bank CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, which hosted Mr. Greenspan's speech.
"It is possible we can get a U.S. recession toward the end of this year, but I don't think it's probable," Mr. Greenspan was quoted by CLSA as telling the audience here. Mr. Greenspan spoke via satellite from the U.S. Associates of Mr. Greenspan in Washington confirmed the remarks...
"Things look reasonably good in the short run for the U.S. and the world," he was quoted as saying. But, "we can't just assume that this extraordinary period of recovery can extend indefinitely."
Actually, I think that is just what he said in the first place.
