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.
