NEW YORK- The Federal Reser ve resisted a cut in interest rates Tuesday and then forged a plan to take over American International Group Inc. and rescue the insurance giant from the brink of bankruptcy with an extraordinary $85 billion loan. The moves, along with a slight rebound on Wall Street, offered some respite after the chaos that shook the financial system Monday when invest- ment house Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy and the Dow Jones industrials suffered its biggest point drop since the 2001 terrorist attacks. Investors worried that a fail- ure by AIG, the world's largest insurer, would set off even more financial turmoil. AIG is little known off Wall Street but does business with almost every financial institu- tion in the world. It insures $88 billion worth of assets and plays an outsized role insuring mortgages and corporate loans, but even more threatening was its integral role in the murky world of hedge funds and credit derivatives. People with knowledge of the situation, who asked not to be identified because of the sen- sitive nature of the negotiations, said bankers and federal offi- cials had decided a government bailout of AIG was the best solu- tion to save it from collapse. An announcement of the takeover was expected late Tuesday. The plan called for the government to seize up to 80 percent of the company and remove its management, similar to the way it took control of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. A collapse of A IG would force Wall Street to untangle the com- plex credit derivatives markets and send the market scrambling to figure out who owes what to whom‚ or even who owns what. The Fed stepped in hours after it decided, in its first unan- imous vote this year, to keep the closely watched federal funds ¢ rate unchanged at 2 percent.
