Wilson Applauds Andrew Card’s Service

Today, Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) made the following statement regarding the resignation of White House Chief of Staff Andrew H. Card, Jr. and the appointment of Office of Management and Budget Director Joshua B. Bolten as his successor:

"While serving in one of the most challenging jobs in Washington, Andrew Card has been a model of loyalty and dedication. South Carolinians are particularly proud of Mr. Card, a distinguished graduate of the University of South Carolina who is widely respected for his tireless work on behalf of American families. As President Bush said today, he has served his nation during historic times and our country is stronger because of his leadership.

"As Josh Bolten assumes his new role at the White House, I look forward to working with him to strengthen our national security and build upon America's economic success. His extensive experience as a public servant has prepared him to help implement President Bush's positive agenda."
