WASHINGTON – Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman, ID-Conn., issued the following statement Monday in reaction to DHS Deputy Secretary Michael Jackson’s resignation:
“I want to thank Deputy Secretary Jackson for his loyal service and for coming to the aid of his country in a time of need. He has been instrumental in helping the department tackle some of the most pressing security problems facing the country today. I am, of course, concerned about a change in the top leadership of the Department at this point in the Bush Administration. I hope the President will quickly choose a successor.”
