On the recordFebruary 7, 1994
I think that the administration should consider how to manage Mr. Altman's dual duties at the RTC or as Deputy Treasury Secretary. I would suggest that if he is going to run the RTC, then the administration might want to consider whether it is appropriate, and consult with the relevant authorities at Treasury, to consider his move from the Treasury and undertake his responsibilities on a full-time basis; whether this or other measures are appropriate to ensure that the public's confidence is maintained. I believe he should discharge his responsibilities accordingly, but you cannot ask him to wear both hats, particularly given the sensitivity of this particular matter.
