Name: Jeffrey M. Lacker

Summary: Richmond Fed President Jeffrey M. Lacker: case has strengthened to raise interest rates: "It does seem now that job market conditions continue to improve at a very healthy clip. I think the employment report for October is what, in the minds of many observers, has sealed the case for a rate increase. Of course, a lot can happen between now and then, and there is some more data to come in, but I think the case has been strengthened since September." (It is not clear on what date this interview took place.)
