Bush Preparing for Greenspan Successor

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4, 2005

(AP) Now that he's tackled the Supreme Court openings, President Bush is preparing for another high-profile nomination: a successor to Alan Greenspan, whose 18-year run at the Federal Reserve comes to an end in just over three months.

Often referred to as the second-most powerful person in the United States, Greenspan's last day is expected to be Jan. 31.

Speaking at a wide-ranging news conference on Tuesday, Bush touched briefly on the White House's efforts to select a new Fed chairman. He called the process to find Greenspan's replacement "ongoing."

"There is a group of people inside the White House ... who will bring forth nominees," Bush said.
