Release No. 0077.05 Contact USDA Press Office (202) 720-4623 Statement By Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns Regarding the Resignation of Deputy Secretary Jim Moseley March 4, 2005 "Deputy Secretary James Moseley has informed me that he is resigning as Deputy Secretary effective today. He has served American agriculture well throughout an extensive and diverse career and I wish him well in his future endeavors. "Jim has accomplished many things for agriculture both domestically and around the world. One of those accomplishments has been to foster a working relationship with the Afghan government and its people to help them rebuild the agricultural infrastructure in Afghanistan. This partnership not only is helping feed and clothe Afghan citizens, but it also is helping spread democracy. To complete some critical aspects of this important effort, I have asked Jim to remain at USDA through June 1 as a special advisor to me focusing on this partnership." # USDA News oc.news@xxxxxxxx 202 720-4623 ---------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to oc.news@xxxxxxxx and reference your email address.
