WASHINGTON, April 17 (UPI) -- White House aides were warned Monday U.S. President George Bush's new chief of staff is planning to shake things up.
In his first meeting with staff since taking over the job Monday, Joshua B. Bolten told aides anyone who was thinking of leaving should quit now, The Washington Post reported.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters Bolten, former director of the Office of Management and Budget, wants staffers energized and "charging ahead" for the next two and a half years until Bush leaves office, the newspaper said.
Bolten did not ask for anyone's resignation and no one announced any intention to quit, McClellan told The Post.
The newspaper said some Republican lawmakers have called for White House staff changes to improve both relations with Congress and Bush's popularity with the U.S. public in preparation for the November midterm elections.
