Subsequent to his work on Capitol Hill, Mr. Northup was Director of Congressional Relations and Corporate Communications at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC> through most of the unprecedented levels of bank closings and mergers in order to protect depositors and the Federal deposit insurance system.
