JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour): Now to our interview with 16-term Congressman Barney Frank.
The Massachusetts Democrat announced this week he wouldn't seek re-election next year, after more than four decades in politics. Frank began his career in the Massachusetts state legislature, and was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1980. He served as chairman of the House Financial Services Committee from 2007 to early this year, where he helped push through the $700 billion bailout of U.S. financial institutions. He also co-wrote last year's law to impose new regulations on Wall Street, along with former Democratic Sen. Christopher Dodd.
