Daniel Kowitz, one of the three deputy directors of the Feds Research and Statistics Department, and Eric Enstrom, senior deputy director of the Monetary Policy Department, will advise Warsh.

The Wall Street Journal previously reported that Warsh also sought support from outside the Fed system, hiring two senior conservative policymakers and a speechwriter for former President George W.
