Dear Mr. President:

I am resigning from my position as Director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics effective Wednesday, July 19, 2017.

The great privilege and honor of my career has been to lead OGE's staff and the community of ethics officials in the federal executive branch. They are committed to protecting the principle that public service is a public trust, requiring employees to place loyalty to the Constitution, the laws, and ethical principles above private gain. I am grateful for the efforts of this dedicated and patriotic assembly of public servants, and I am proud to have served with them.

Respectfully,

Walter M. Shaub, Jr.
Director
