----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- Arthur I. Bloomfield, when he was at the NY Fed, was the chief of mission to set up central banks in Vietnam, Korea, and Congo (perhaps others) in the post war period. His papers at http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/dynaweb/findaids/bloomfield/ @Generic__BookView provide some material overview of these activities. I know of no detailed biographical material on his activities, though. E.
