    Statement on the Resignation of William H. Donaldson as Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission
    June 1, 2005

        Bill Donaldson took on a tough job at a tough time, and he delivered
    for the American people. He vigorously and fairly enforced our Nation's
    securities laws and helped rebuild the public trust in corporate America
    that has been important to our economic recovery. I am grateful for his
    dedicated service, and Laura and I wish him and
    Jane all the best.
