    Statement on the Retirement of Chief Usher Gary Walters
    October 24, 2006

        Chief Usher Gary Walters has been a valued public servant to seven
    First Families for more than three decades at the White House. We have
    known Gary for many years and are especially grateful for making our
    family feel at home and for managing and overseeing the operations of
    the White House, a museum of American history. While we are sad to see
    him leave, we wish Gary all the best in his future endeavors.

    Note: This statement was released by the Office of the Press Secretary
    as a statement by the President and the First Lady.
