In an Oct. 14 story on the record federal budget deficit for 2008, The Associated Press incorrectly quoted Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad as saying the national debt had climbed by more than $1 trillion while President Bush was in office.

Conrad said the national debt had climbed more than $1 trillion in the 2008 budget year. The national debt has risen by $4.6 trillion since Bush took office.
