PARTNERSHIP FOR PUBLIC SERVICE STATEMENT COMMENDING COMPTROLLER GENERAL DAVID M. WALKER
WASHINGTON – The Partnership for Public Service today released the following statement in response to the resignation of David M. Walker, Comptroller General of the United States and head of the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), effective March 12, 2008.
“In a town that is too often focused on short-term crises, David Walker stands out in his ability to focus on big-picture issues facing our nation, and has been promoting real solutions to our country’s toughest challenges. He embodies the best qualities we seek in our public servants: integrity, courage, intelligence. Our nation is indebted to David for his leadership at GAO, and I have no doubt he will continue doing great things for the American people at the Peterson Foundation.”
Max Stier, President and CEO, Partnership for Public Service
