Obama makes more Treasury picks
President taps Neal Wolin to fill the No. 2 post along with two more candidates for other positions.
The FixersWASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Barack Obama has named one of his economics advisers to the No. 2 post at the Treasury Department and will keep a Bush administration appointee in another top job, the White House announced Monday.
Obama has picked Neal Wolin, an insurance executive who now serves as a White House adviser, as his deputy treasury secretary, the White House said.
He also named Lael Brainard, a global economics specialist at the Brookings Institution, as the department's undersecretary for international affairs, and will keep Bush appointee Stuart Levey as the undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence.
The moves will beef up staff in the Cabinet agency that is handling much of the Obama administration's economic recovery efforts.
In an interview that aired over the weekend, Obama told CBS' "60 Minutes" that two other people had withdrawn from consideration for the deputy secretary's job.
