Statement From Madeleine K. Albright On H. Carl Mccall's Resignation From NYSE Board

I am saddened to learn of Carl McCall's resignation from the New York Stock Exchange Board. He deserves credit for providing critical leadership that resulted in the appointment of John Reed as Interim Chairman and ensuring ongoing day-to-day operations of the Exchange during a difficult time.

I trust that he has made a decision that he feels is in the best interest of the New York Stock Exchange. I have known Carl McCall for many years and he has always conducted himself with dignity and purpose, as he has done today.
