SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 19 (Reuters) - San Francisco Federal Reserve President John Williams on Friday did not comment on reports Thursday that he is under consideration by the White House to be the Fed Board's No. 2, succeeding Stanley Fischer who resigned late last year.
"I'm not going to comment on that at all," he told reporters after an event at the Fed's headquarters. "This is a decision the president of the United States makes. I am not going to speculate on what will happen there." Asked if he had met the president, he said, "I'll just leave it at that."
