Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner today announced the designation of Richard L. (Dick) Gregg to serve as Acting Fiscal Assistant Secretary. Gregg will assume the post on Monday while Kenneth E. Carfine, the current Fiscal Assistant Secretary, is on extended medical leave. "Under these difficult personal circumstances and at a time of great challenge in our economy, we are fortunate to have Dick Gregg return to Treasury," said Secretary Geithner. "Prior to his retirement, Dick had served Treasury with great distinction for 36 years. Dick is well recognized for his leadership, his transformation of organizations and programs, his commitment to open communication, and a team approach," added Secretary Geithner. Prior to his retirement, Gregg was the Commissioner of the Financial Management Service for nine years and before that served as Commissioner of the Bureau of the Public Debt for 10 years. Gregg also held numerous other management positions at Treasury during his long career.
