<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1366983, member: 31533&quot;]Lettow, I would like you to reconsider not taking Timothy Geithner as the proper answer. Reasoning is this:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>According to <a href="http://uscode.house.gov/download/pls/31C3.txt" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://uscode.house.gov/download/pls/31C3.txt" rel="nofollow">http://uscode.house.gov/download/pls/31C3.txt</a> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;31 USC Sec. 303&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 01/07/2011-EXPCITE-&nbsp; &nbsp; TITLE 31 - MONEY AND FINANCE&nbsp; &nbsp; SUBTITLE I - GENERAL&nbsp; &nbsp; CHAPTER 3 - DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY&nbsp; &nbsp; SUBCHAPTER I - ORGANIZATION-HEAD-&nbsp; &nbsp; Sec. 303. Bureau of Engraving and Printing-STATUTE-&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; (a) The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is a bureau in the&nbsp; &nbsp; Department of the Treasury. <span style="color: #ff0000">&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; (b) The head of the Bureau is the Director of the Bureau of&nbsp; &nbsp; Engraving and Printing appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury.&nbsp; &nbsp; The Director -&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; (1) shall carry out duties and powers prescribed by the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Secretary; and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; (2) reports directly to the Secretary.</span>-SOURCE-&nbsp; &nbsp; (Pub. L. 97-258, Sept. 13, 1982, 96 Stat. 879.)</p><p>I take this to mean that &quot;reporting directly to the Secretary&quot; (of the Treasury) means his direct boss is the Secretary of the Treasury and not any one else. </p><p><br /></p><p>Rosie Rios, although having oversight of various Bureaus, etc. is not The BEP Director&#039;s boss. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And a good organizational chart showing the direct connection from the BEP to the Secretary of the Treasury/Deputy Secretary is here: <a href="http://www.netage.com/economics/gov/USTreasury-chart-top.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.netage.com/economics/gov/USTreasury-chart-top.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.netage.com/economics/gov/USTreasury-chart-top.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
