NYSE Appoints John Reed

ANCHOR
And now to Wall Street where the New York Stock Exchange has appointed an interim chief executive officer and chairman. John Reed is former chairman and co-chief executive of Citigroup. Chris Huntington reports.

CORRESPONDENT
The New York Stock Exchange is banking on former Citicorp chairman John Reed to rebuild the Big Board’s image and front office following Dick Grasso’s less than graceful departure.

CARL MCCALL, LEAD DIRECTOR NYSE
John is a real statesman, he has been a leader of the financial industry, and he will be leading our effort as we continue to develop a corporate governance plan for the New York Stock Exchange.

JOHN REED
This is John speaking, how may I help you?

CORRESPONDENT
Reed has impeccable credentials on Wall Street where he ran Citicorp then Citigroup with Sandy Weil until retiring three years ago. Reed was the only person offered the interim post at the Exchange, for which he will be paid one dollar. He says he hopes to have a permanent chairman in place within six months and that it definitely will not be him.
Reed’s first job will be to restore the Big Board’s status on Wall Street.

约翰是一位真正公正贤明的领导者，他一直是金融界的领军人物。他将率领我们继续努力为纽约证券交易所设计出一项共同管理计划。

我是约翰。我能为你效劳吗？

里德在华尔街的信誉极佳。他先是管理花旗公司，而后与桑迪•韦尔共同掌管花旗集团，直至3年前退休。里德是纽交所授予临时职务的惟一一人，他的新酬是1美元。他说，他希望6个月内能有人就任常任董事长，但这绝对不会是他。
里德首先要做的工作是重新恢复纽约证券交易所在华尔街的地位。
