Chamber proposes enhancements to Main Street Lending Facility and Other Programs to Boost Financial Stability WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Chamber of Commerce today provided comments to the Treasury and the Federal Reserve commending the creation of lending facilities that will provide necessary liquidity to medium and large businesses.
