"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Peter Fisher, the Treasury Department's under secretary for domestic finance, offered his resignation Wednesday, to be effective Oct. 10, Treasury said.

...

Separately, the White House said Bush intends to nominate Kenneth Leet, a managing director with Goldman Sachs (GS: up $0.18 to $88.24, Research, Estimates), to be Fisher's replacement. It also said Bush intends to nominate Susan Schwab, a University of Maryland official, to fill the vacant post of deputy Treasury secretary."

but thats about it.

more: "The addition of Leet marks the second former Goldman Sachs executive to join the administration in less than a year. In December, Bush named former Goldman boss Stephen Friedman to replace White House economic adviser Lawrence Lindsey."
and
"As Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Department, Schwab will earn $154,700 annually. Leet will earn $142,500 annually as undersecretary."
