Edit Profile
Career
Camp, a national bank examiner, was appointed Comptroller by President Lyndon Johnson. During his term, a rapidly growing economy led to a dramatic increase in the assets held by national banks. The agency"s remaining responsibility in the issue of currency - redeeming Federal Reserve notes - was transferred to the Treasurer of the United States.
He died on November 13, 1975 in Rockville, Maryland.
Politics
Camp is unique among Comptrollers: he was nominated by a president from one political party and renominated by a president, Richard Nixon, from another.
