Dear Mr. President:
This is to respecthlly inform you of my resignation as a Governor of the Federal
Reserve Board, effective December 3 1,2001.
Last June 4, I announced my intention to resign when at least one additional
Governor was nominated, confirmed, and sworn in. Governor Susan S. Bies and
Governor Mark W. Olson have now joined the Board, and it is time to turn my attention
to family and other personal interests.
It has been a great privilege to serve our country for over fourteen years as a
member of the Federal Reserve Board. It was a special honor to be nominated by two
Presidents; President Ronald Reagan to complete an unexpired term from May 1987 to
January 1990 and President George H. W. Bush for a full term. Since my assumption of
this responsibility, I have found this institution to be of the highest integrity and solely
dedicated to the service of its only constituency, the American people and their economy.
This dedication has been evident since its inception, and there is no doubt that the nation
will continue to benefit from the skills and commitment of the Board and its staff in the
future.
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
