Here's some more:

All the resignations were over President Clinton's decision to sign a welfare bill that the officials thought would be a disaster for the poor and the country. Even more remarkable: Two of these officials chose not only to make a statement of principle but to do so in a way that was about as loyal to Clinton as they could be under the circumstances. They did not quit until after the Democratic National Convention, thus minimizing the political damage their resignations might cause the president. Clearly these were people interested in making a point, not in garnering maximum publicity for themselves.
