Wonder what this is all about. He's gotten himself in a bit of hot water as a result of his stock ownership, etc. Guess he wasn't making enough money to satisfy him as Treasury Secretary ;)

Treasury Secretary O'Neill to Quit Post
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASHINGTON (AP) -- Paul O'Neill, whose outspokenness won him praise as a captain of industry but often landed him in hot water as President Bush's treasury secretary, announced his resignation Friday.
A spokeswoman said would become effective "in the next few weeks."
"It has been a privilege to serve the Nation during these challenging times. I thank you for that opportunity," O'Neill said in a brief letter to President George W. Bush.
