Snow, 63, is chairman, president and chief executive of Virginia-based CSX, the biggest rail operator in the eastern United States.

An economist and a lawyer, Snow's Washington experience dates back to the Ford administration, when he served stints as assistant secretary and general counsel at the Transportation Department.

A native of Toledo, Ohio, Snow taught economics at the University of Virginia and served as chairman of the influential Business Roundtable, which represents many of the nation's largest corporations in Washington.

But Snow has also been outspoken on the need for corporate responsibility following scandals at Enron Corp. and other major U.S. corporations.

As co-chairman of a Conference Board blue-ribbon commission on corporate governance, Snow has argued for widespread reforms in the way executive compensation is determined.

"These egregious failures evidence a clear breach of the basic contract that underlies corporate capitalism," Snow said earlier this year.
