Message from the Chief of Staff to White House Staff

MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF OF STAFF TO WHITE HOUSE STAFF

The President has accepted the resignation of Scooter Libby. Scooter has worked tirelessly on behalf of the American people and sacrificed much in service to our country.

Our work here at the White House is of critical importance, and the President expects everyone to work hard to advance the optimistic agenda he has laid out to ensure peace and prosperity for future generations.

You are an integral part of an outstanding group of professionals who serve the President and the Nation with distinction, and I know that this team will continue to build upon its reputation of excellence.

We have always placed the people's business ahead of all else. This is our duty as public servants, and the American people deserve no less.

As always, my door is open, and I encourage you to stop by or seek out other members of the Senior Staff to answer any questions you might have about our continued work on behalf of the President and the American people.

Thank you for your service.
