CBP Commissioner Bonner to Retire

Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff today announced Commissioner for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Robert C. Bonner, notified the President earlier this week that he will retire from government service. His retirement date has not yet been determined.

Bonner was confirmed by the Senate on September 19, 2001 and was sworn in as the 17th Commissioner of U.S. Customs on September 24, 2001. When the Department of Homeland Security was established, he oversaw the merger of three separate agencies and 42,000 employees into a unified border agency.

As indicated by a story in today's FederalTimes.com, Bonner's tenure as CBP Commissioner has evoked mixed emotions.
