| Description | WASHINGTON, June 28 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate on Wednesday voted to confirm Goldman Sachs Chairman Henry Paulson as Treasury secretary, succeeding John Snow.
Snow said last month that he was stepping down after nearly 3-1/2 years at the helm of Treasury. Paulson is a highly regarded Wall Street financier who was courted by the White House to take over the Treasury.
Paulson's nomination faced virtually no opposition as it sped through a Senate Finance Committee nomination on Tuesday and was handily cleared by the full Senate. |
