WASHINGTON, April 29, 2005 – Departing Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz leaves DoD "with the good fortune of seeing so much ... being accomplished" that he helped set in motion, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said today.


DoD honored Wolfowitz during an armed forces full-honor farewell ceremony at the Pentagon. Rumsfeld and Marine Gen. Peter Pace, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, hosted the ceremony.

Wolfowitz is slated to become president of the World Bank. President Bush has nominated Navy Secretary Gordon England to replace him as deputy secretary.

During today's ceremony, Wolfowitz thanked the men and women of the military and the civil service. "They are the ones who serve America quietly and professionally every day," he said. "They are the ones who deserve our special and lasting gratitude."
