WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Joe Biden's top economic adviser said on Thursday the stimulus package working its way through Congress would likely end up in the $800 billion to $900 billion range.

"The important thing is that this package stays within the range that the president signed off on. I think we're probably looking at a package between $800 and $900 billion dollars," Biden adviser Jared Bernstein told CNBC.
