Treasury. As Under Secretary for Monetary Affairs, Johnson chose Frederick L. Deming, 52, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, to replace Robert V. Roosa, who is joining a New York investment firm.

...gentle and friendly executive whose great strength is persuasion and persistence; his skill is convincing people that the impossible is possible-and then seeing that it gets done.
