First, less anyone think that I am making this up, watch two videos. The first is where he actually mentions 5 individuals, three of who I am very familiar with. The second is a person who I suspect will also serve under him.
Watch the videos first, just click on the link:

Dick Armey Possible Question: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFgr7qoecH4
[1] Dick Armey: Dick Armey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dick Armey: I am including him as I saw his "smiling face" in the audience during the recent Republican debate and knew immediately that he would be a great fit in a Ron Paul Administration. You can check out the facts on Wikipedia above but the rest is from my own knowledge of Dick Armey.
A former member of Congress from the 26th District in Texas, he served from 1985 to 2003 when he resigned [more on this later]. While the Republicans were in the minority prior to 1994 he served as leader of the Republican Conference. The Conference is the "think tank" for the party House members. Is was Dick Armey and NOT Newt Gingrich who came up with the idea for the "Contract With America" which was a major cause in the "Republican Revolution" which brought them into the majority in 1994. Newt Gringrich effectively "stole" the credit for this, but then he is a often not comfortable with the truth anyway [more on Newt below].
After the class of 1994 was sworn in Dick Armey was elected House Majority Leader and served until 2003 when he resigned his seat in Congress. Some folks on this site have questioned who will help Ron in the Congress. Well this is a very good choice as Dick Armey was well liked [and still is] in both political parties. He is a free market economist also and brings this knowledge to any post. He and Ron always seemed to be great friends and Dick always made sure that Ron got in his "Special Orders Speeches" on the House floor. I watched many of them myself.
I suspect that Dick resigned I 2003 because he could not take what was happening anymore as things were going "downhill" for the entire Republican Caucus in the House at that time. He now runs a free market think tank and this is described in Wiki above. He was replaced as Majority Leader by Tom DeLay.
[2] John Stossel: John Stossel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I think everyone knows John Stossel from his current position as a correspondent on ABC's 20/20 so I will not elaborate on him. But he would serve nicely in many positions in a new administration.
[3] Walter Williams: Walter E. Williams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have known about and followed him for many years and he is a fine economist and would serve nicely in various administration positions.
[4] James Grant: Grant's Interest Rate Observer
For some strange reason there is no Wikipedia on him although he is a nationally known economist and market observer. He would make a great Secretary Of The Treasury as he is a no-nonsense guy who is all free market and knows all the tricks which Wall Streeter's like to play. His bio is on the above link.
[5] Robert Pape: Robert Pape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have no knowledge of this man.
[6]Michael Scheurer:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Scheuer
I have no knowledge of this man.

I ran into these facts of which I was not fully aware when I was researching Ron Paul's 14th Congressional District. I paste in only the pertinent parts which can be found on this link: Texas's 14th congressional district - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
