Recommended Posts

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell has submitted his resignation to President Bush, the White House said on Monday.

 

National security adviser Condoleezza Rice is the "likely" choice to succeed Powell, a senior U.S. official told CNN.

 

Rice is "the president's choice," and an announcement is likely this week, another senior U.S. official said.

 

Powell is the most prominent of four Cabinet officials whose resignations were announced Monday by the White House.

 

The others were Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman, Education Secretary Rod Paige and Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham.

 

Powell told his senior staff that he planned to stay on until a replacement was confirmed, State Department officials said.
