Ex-OCC chief Hawke remembered for preemption rule, 'brilliant' law career - American Banker

When John D. Hawke took the helm of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency at the age of 65, some in the agency figured it would be a relatively short stint to cap a distinguished legal and government career.

But Hawke, who died Monday at the age of 88, would go on to serve as comptroller for six years during a tumultuous period in which the legal parameters of the national bank charter were a source of intense debate.

He came to the OCC in 1998, after already having established himself as an experienced public servant and one of the preeminent banking lawyers of his time. Before becoming comptroller, Hawke had worked on Capitol Hill, the Federal Reserve and in the senior levels of the Treasury Department, among other roles.
