WASHINGTON, April 9 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's meeting on Friday with top financial regulators will include Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Mary Schapiro and Comptroller of the Currency John Dugan, the White House said.

Obama plans to meet regulators to discuss the "stress tests" being conducted at the 19 biggest U.S. banks and other issues related to the ongoing effort to stabilize the country's financial system.

The White House had said earlier that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, Obama economic adviser Larry Summers and Sheila Bair, chair of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., would attend the session.
