WASHINGTON -- Janet Yellen, President-elect Joe Biden's choice
for Treasury secretary, will tell lawmakers that the U.S. risks a
longer, more painful recession unless Congress approves more aid
and will urge them to "act big" to shore up the recovery.
Ms. Yellen is set to deliver her remarks Tuesday to the Senate
Finance Committee, which is considering her nomination, according
to a copy of her testimony reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
