General William Shelton
“I've got civilians that are out taking a 20 percent pay cut for the remainder of the year…That is horrific. I stood in front of my civilians the other day and I apologized to them, and I said, `Your government has let you down.’ And that's how I feel about it. We have let them down. We have broken faith with our civilian workforce.”— General William Shelton, chief of Air Force Space Command, speaking Tuesday in Washington on the civilians he has had to furlough because of sequester-mandated budget cuts.
