    Statement on Senate Confirmation of Alan Greenspan as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board
    February 3, 2000

        I am pleased that the Senate has confirmed the nomination of Alan
    Greenspan for another term as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.
    Chairman Greenspan's wise and steady leadership has inspired confidence
    here in America and around the world. He has made a truly remarkable
    contribution in helping lead our Nation to the longest economic
    expansion in history. I look forward to continuing the productive and
    appropriate relationship that my administration has enjoyed with
    Chairman Greenspan and the other excellent members of the Federal
    Reserve Board in working to extend this era of American prosperity. I am
    hopeful that the Senate will move quickly to confirm the other two
    nominees to the Federal Reserve Board as well.
