Robert M. Gates takes charge at Pentagon Hourglass reports

Robert M. Gates was sworn in as the nation’s 22nd secretary of defense in a ceremony at the Pentagon Monday. After President Bush intro- duced Gates as “an experienced and thoughtful leader,” Vice President Richard B. Cheney ad- ministered the oath of offi ce. Gates was offi cially sworn in at the White House earlier Monday in a private ceremony. The following is Gates’ acceptance speech. It is an honor, and a humbling responsibility, to take the helm of this department in a time of war and to lead men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting our country. In the coming weeks, I will visit some of the key military posts and commands at home and abroad, as well as consult with this department’s senior civilian and military leaders and staff.
