August 6, 2002: 5:41 PM EDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan will soon share something in common with luminaries such as rock star Mick Jagger, Persian Gulf War Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf and former U.S. President Ronald Reagan -- honorary British knighthood. The British Treasury announced on Tuesday that Queen Elizabeth had approved granting the honor to Greenspan, who has led the U.S. central bank since August 1987. "The award is in recognition of his outstanding contribution to global economic stability and the benefit that ... (Britain) has received from the wisdom and skill with which he has led the U.S. Federal Reserve Board," according to a press release issued by the British Treasury. In a statement, Greenspan said, "I am most privileged to accept this honor. I have valued my close relationships with the Bank of England and with many Chancellors of the Exchequer, going back nearly 30 years." Unlike Rolling Stone front man Mick Jagger, who was knighted in June, Greenspan, as an American admitted to an order of British chivalry, will not be called "Sir" but instead will be entitled to place the letters "KBE" after his name. Greenspan will formally receive the award when he next visits Britain.
