[Khephra]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan was asked by senior Republicans if he was interested in becoming U.S. Treasury secretary, but rejected the suggestion, a British newspaper reported on Thursday.

The Financial Times said on its Web site, citing people familiar with the talks, that the informal approach reflected concern that current Treasury Secretary John Snow was not the most effective leader to sell President Bush's ambitious second-term economic agenda.
