Obama names three Treasury nominees
The appointments, if confirmed, will fill three of the four most senior positions in the agency.
President Obama announced on Monday that he will nominate Neal Wolin to be deputy secretary at the Treasury Department and Lael Brainard to be Treasury undersecretary for international affairs.
The White House said it will keep Stuart Levey, the undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, in that position.
The appointments, if confirmed by the Senate, will fill three of the four most senior positions beneath Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.
Wolin is a former general counsel at Treasury in the Clinton administration, and briefly served in the White House as deputy counsel to Obama on economic issues.
Brainard is vice president and founder of the Global Economy and Development Program at the Brookings Institution.
