By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - A day after boosting borrowing costs for millions of Americans, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan won Senate confirmation today for a fourth term as head of the nation's central bank.

The Senate voted 89-4 to approve the nomination of Greenspan, 73, for a four-year term that will run into 2004.

Greenspan was praised as the ``greatest central banker in the history of the world,'' by the Senate Banking Committee chairman, Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, and President Clinton's nomination of the Republican economist enjoyed bipartisan support. . . .
