Linda Chavez Secretary Quotations

Unfortunately, because of the way the stories have played over the last few days, I have decided that I am becoming a distraction, and therefore I have asked President Bush to withdraw my name for secretary of labor,

I'm only the first person, ... I can tell you (attorney general nominee) John Ashcroft is going to face much worse than I have. Gale Norton (the interior secretary nominee) may face worse than I have. Even Christine Todd Whitman (nominated to head the Environmental Protection Agency), who is considered a moderate, may face worse than I have.

If I am confirmed as secretary of labor, I intend to keep faith with the men and the women who still work at jobs like those my parents held.
