 Oct 28 (Reuters) - More and more U.S. banks are signing up
for the government's offer of a cash injection, in addition to
the nine that joined the program initially. The injections are
a bid to revive the sector, which has suffered since lending
has dried up and many loans have gone bad.
 The U.S. Treasury Department plans to provide funds for 20
to 22 lenders in the current round of the $250 billion bank
recapitalization program.
 Nine of the largest U.S. banks were the first to join the
program and will receive the first $125 billion of capital
infusions:
