Defense Secretary Robert Gates wants to retire sometime next year, a Pentagon spokesman confirmed Monday.
Gates was quoted in a Foreign Policy article saying he wanted to step down before the end of 2011.
Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said references in the article to Gates' desire to retire next year "accurately reflect the secretary's thoughts."
