Obama nominates White to head SEC, Cordray at CFPB

WASHINGTON, Jan 24 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on

Thursday nominated former U.S. federal prosecutor Mary Jo White

to head the Securities and Exchange Commission, signaling a

desire for tough oversight of Wall Street.

Obama also renominated Richard Cordray to continue as the

head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the U.S.

Obama told a White House ceremony that there is more work

needed to confront what he called irresponsible behavior in the

Wall Street financial sector and that White would have this

duty.
