NEW YORK (CNN) -- Veteran anchorman Dan Rather sent a memo to his CBS News colleagues Tuesday calling for "a renewed dedication to journalism of the highest quality."

"Lest anyone have any doubt, I have read the report, I take it seriously, and I shall keep its lessons well in mind," Rather said.

Rather returned to the anchor chair of the "CBS Evening News" Tuesday, after being absent Monday.

But he made no reference to the report or the Bush Guard story.

In his memo to the CBS News staff, Rather said the panel's report was "a necessary process to deal with a difficult issue, at the end of which four good people have lost their jobs."

"My strongest reaction is one of sadness and concern for those individuals whom I know and with whom I have worked," he wrote.

"We should take seriously the admonition of the report's authors to do our job well and carefully, but also their parallel admonition not be be afraid to cover important and controversial issues."
