Dan Tarullo
It seems Barack Obama is poised to nominate Dan Tarullo for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board. In addition to being a law professor at Georgetown, Tarullo is a CAP senior fellow:
Professor Tarullo held several senior positions in the Clinton administration, ultimately as Assistant to the President for International Economic Policy, responsible for coordinating the international economic policy of the administration. He was a principal on both the National Economic Council and the National Security Council. Prior to his appointment to that position, he had been Deputy Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, with special responsibility for regulatory and international issues.
From 1993 until early 1996, he was Assistant Secretary of State for Economic and Business Affairs. In March 1995, President Clinton appointed Tarullo as his personal representative (”sherpa”) to the G-7/G-8 group of industrialized nations, with responsibility for coordinating U.S. positions for the annual Leaders Summits. He continued this assignment after he moved to the White House, participating in four summits.
Before joining the administration, Professor Tarullo practiced law in Washington and served as Chief Counsel for Employment Policy on the staff of Senator Edward M. Kennedy. Earlier in his career he worked in the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department, served as Special Assistant to the Undersecretary of Commerce, and taught at Harvard Law School.
You can read some of his CAP stuff on reforming the IMF and World Bank, or trade deals and labor rights, and the case for reviving the Doha round. Now as it happens none of that is especially relevant to his new job. But still, there it is.
UPDATE: This might be more relevant: Banking on Basel: The Future of International Financial Regulation.

The more CAP people the merrier, Matt. With the entire Washington establishment seeing right-wing religious fanatics as “normal” and “liberals” as noisy, grubby outsiders who need to be slapped down and gloated over, you have a lot of heavy lifting to do on behalf of the rest of progressive America.
Once the honeymoon is over and the Beltway social club starts pissing on Obama full-time, he’ll be glad to have you around.

NattyB, what’d you think of him? I took a class with him when he was visiting Harvard. Wasn’t impressed.

I didn’t see anything there about his basketball-playing days. I assume that’s why Obama picked him. And, truth be told, previously that stuff was kinda cute. Now it’s bugging the hell out of me.
