U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer NigelLawson said Paul Volcker has been an outstanding Chairman of
the Federal Reserve and he will be greatly missed, a spokesman
for the U.K. Treasury said.
    The spokesman was relaying Lawson's reaction to news that
Volcker will not be seeking a third term as chairman. Lawson is
campaigning in London ahead of the June 11 general election.
