For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
December 16, 2002
Statement by the President
For nearly two years as director of FEMA, Joe Allbaugh has served
America with ability, courage, and compassion. He will continue to
shepherd FEMA through its transition into the Department of Homeland
Security.
After the attacks on our country, America came to know Joe as I do:
He is a steady leader, a calm presence, and man who inspires confidence
in a time of crisis. I have trusted Joe in a variety of positions
throughout my public life, and he has always met the highest standards
of service and integrity. Laura and I wish Joe the very best in all
that he does in the future.
