## New Orleans Federal Executive Board Presents

## A Message from the Chair, 2004 Federal Executive Board

**“****Imagine, if you can, a United States Government without public servants.  I cannot imagine what our country would be like without them.  Every day we are all touched in some way and our lives are enriched by the services, products, protections, and benefits provided by those in public service.”**

## Greetings from the White House

**Public service is a high calling and an expression of responsible citizenship...I commend all those dedicated to helping others, and I applaud public servants for your leadership and patriotism...Laura joins me in sending our best wishes for a memorable week.**
