STATEMENT BY SECRETARY WILLIAM S. COHEN

General Ronald R. Fogleman has served his country with courage, vision
and distinction for 34 years. As a young fighter pilot, he flew 315
combat missions. As the Commander in Chief of the Transportation
Command, he helped upgrade the nation's power projection capability by
bringing the C-17 into service. As the Air Force Chief of Staff, he
was a forceful champion of global engagement.

I respect General Fogleman's personal decision to retire to pursue new
opportunities after his service to the Air Force and to the nation.
