Secretary Rumsfeld stepping downPresident taps ex-CIA chief Gates to replace embattled defense secretaryNBC, msnbc.com and news servicesupdated 5:39 p.m. ET, Wed., Nov. 8, 2006
WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld stepped down as defense secretary on Wednesday, one day
after midterm elections in which opposition to the war in Iraq contributed to heavy Republican losses.
President Bush nominated Robert Gates, a former CIA director, to replace Rumsfeld at the Pentagon.
Asked whether his announcement signaled a new direction in the war that has claimed the lives of more than 2,800U.S. troops, Bush said, Well, theres certainly going to be new leadership at the Pentagon.
Bush lavished praise on Rumsfeld, who has spent six stormy years at his post. The president disclosed he met withGates last Sunday, two days before the elections in which Democrats swept control of the House and possibly theSenate.
Military officials and politicians dissatisfied with the course of the war had called for Rumsfelds resignation in themonths leading up to the election. Last week, as Bush campaigned to save the Republican majority, he declared thatRumsfeld would remain at the Pentagon through the end of his term.
Source: Cheney stuck by RumsfeldBut a source told NBC News military analyst Bill Arkin that prior to the election, Vice President Dick Cheney arguedwith other politicians over whether Rumsfeld should stay. White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and others saidRumsfeld should be removed, the source said. Both sides agreed the decision would be made after the election,when Bush would make the final call based on how Republicans did.
According to the source, Bush agreed Rumsfeld should be removed after seeing election results favoring Democrats.Cheney then lost another argument, protesting Gates nomination as Rumsfelds replacement.
Rumsfeld, 74, was in his second tour of duty as defense chief. He first held the job a generation ago, when he wasappointed by President Ford.
Whatever confidence Bush retained in Rumsfeld, the Cabinet officers support in Congress had eroded significantly.Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., the House speaker-in-waiting, said at her first postelection news conference that Bush
should replace the top civilian leadership at the Pentagon.
And Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, who had intervened in the past to shore up support for Rumsfeld, issued astatement saying, Washington must now work together in a bipartisan way Republicans and Democrats tooutline the path to success in Iraq.
The Pentagon offered no date for Rumsfelds departure.
Appointee a close Bush family friendGates, 63, has served as the president of Texas A&M University since August 2002, and as the universitys interimdean of the George Bush School of Government and Public Service from 1999 to 2001.
The school is home to the presidential library of Bushs father. Gates is a close friend of the Bush family, andparticularly the first President Bush.
He served as deputy national security adviser from 1989 to 1991 and then as CIA director during the first Iraq war,from 1991 until 1993.
Gates joined the CIA in 1966 and is the only agency employee to rise from an entry level job to the seventh-floor
directors office. He served in the intelligence community for more than a quarter century, under six presidents.
Bush has considered Gates for jobs before, including in 2005 when he was searching for a candidate to be thenations first national intelligence director.
His nomination must be confirmed by the Senate.
Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo., who is expected to chair the House Armed Services Committee next year, said Rumsfeldsresignation presents an important opportunity for our country to begin a new policy direction in Iraq and in the waron terrorism.

Publishers Abuzz Over PossibleRumsfeld BookBy GARY SHAPIRO, Staff Reporter of the Sun
June 27, 2007
THE PUBLISHINGWORLDISABUZZOVERTH EN EWSTHATAFORMERDEFENSEsecretary, Donald Rumsfeld, may write a memoir justifying the militarystrategy for the war in Iraq. While a deal has not yet been struck, Mr. Rumsfeldhas toured New York publishing houses with an outline of his book in an effortto gauge how much information he would have to disclose in the memoir inorder to justify a large cash advance.
A principal for the publicity firm Shirley & Banister, Craig Shirley, said such abook would have a better-than-fair shot of becoming a bestseller if it wasproperly marketed, well-written, and contained interesting new content. Inaddition, the publisher of the conservative imprint Regnery, Marji Ross,estimated the former secretary would command at least a six-figure advance.Someone like Mr. Rumsfeld, who has a loyal following and yet sparks a lot ofcontroversy, is good for book sales, she said.
A former spokesman for Mr. Rumsfeld, Lawrence di Rita, who is familiar withthe former defense secretary's activities, said the primary focus of Mr.Rumsfeld, who resigned from the Bush administration last year, has been theplanning of a new educational foundation, and that the ex-defense chief has notmade a final decision about whether to write a book.
Nevertheless, the Web site Galleycat reported a sighting last month of Mr.Rumsfeld visiting Penguin books, whose Sentinel imprint specializes inconservative subjects, and he is believed to have spoken with five or six otherNew York-based publishers to test the waters and learn more about theprocess. Mr. di Rita said it would be i naccurate to describe Mr. Rumsfeld ashaving a book proposal.
The publisher of Sentinel, Adrian Zackheim, declined to discuss Mr. Rumsfeld,but he said books by high-profile Cabinet officials "don't come up very often."
Asked if a book by Mr. Rumsfeld would draw large press attention, a long-timeeditor at Random House, Robert Loomis, said, "Yes, it will." Mr. Loomis saidhe heard that Robert Barnett of Williams & Connolly, who represents manysimilarly prominent figures, is involved in exploring the possibility of aRumsfeld book.
Mr. Barnett declined to comment, citing client confidentiality.
Mr. Shirley of Shirley & Banister said press attention to Mr. Rumsfeld'sbook likely would exceed that of a recent book by a former director of centralintelligence, George Tenet. (Nielsen BookScan reports the Mr. Tenet's book hadsold 95,946 copies through last week, an estimated 70% of likely total sales.)
Mr. Shirley said all the Sunday morning news shows would "jump throughhoops" to be the first to interview Mr. Rumsfeld, and he said one of the formerdefense secretary's goals would be to correct the factual record "so that he can
sleep more gently."
Mr. Shirley said a first-run estimate could be at least 300,000 copies.
The founder of PublicAffairs books, Peter Osnos who is publishing abiography of Mr. Rumsfeld and also published the bestselling mea culpamemoir by the Johnson administration defense secretary and Vietnam Wararchitect Robert McNamara said he doubted whether Mr. Rumsfeld wasready to be as blunt as Mr. McNamara had been. "People don't want to read ajustification of the war all over again, but who knows?" Mr. Osnos said.
The publisher of Talkers Magazine, Michael Harrison, said Mr. Rumsfeldwould be in great demand as an interview subject, but that he would morelikely go on shows that have been supportive of him and the Iraq war. "He'smore likely to go on Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity than on Lionel or AlanColmes," he said.

Anthony Ziccardi, the vice president and deputy publisher of Threshold aconservative imprint at Simon and Schuster said Mr. Rumsfeld's book wouldbe highly anticipated, and he estimated that it would have a six-figure printrun.
"At the end of the day, it comes down to what he's going to say and how muchof an insider's account it would be," said Mr. Ziccardi, who this fall will publisha book by a former American ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton.Mr. Ziccardi said he has not met with Mr. Rumsfeld about the memoir.
The editor in chief of conservative book club American Compass, Brad Miner,said Mr. Rumsfeld would have to express himself provocatively, giving opinions
of those in the administration and military.
He said of all those except the president and the vice president, Mr. Rumsfeld isthe Bush administration figure whose views people would be most interested inreading. Mr. Miner said the war has gone sour in the minds of so many, andnobody has forgotten Mr. Rumsfeld's early press conferences with hisplainspoken manner and irascibility.
Mr. Miner estimated that a print run could be at 250,000 or more, but a gentlernarrative would cut that initial print run in half.
The founder of Maximum Impact Public Relations, Max Pulsinelli, said a lot ofMr. Rumsfeld's job has been performed behind closed doors and that readerswould be interested in understanding the inner workings of the Pentagon,especially while the nation is at war. Ms. Ross likewise said timing was a factor,cautioning that books that come out while an administration is still in office areoften more circumspect about criticizing colleagues who are still ingovernment.
Michael Link the operations manager of a Washington, D.C., bookstore,
Politics and Prose said more people in the capital would line up to take Mr.Rumsfeld to task than to buy his book. Mr. Shirley said Mr. Rumsfeld"probably won't do any book signings at any mosques around the U.S."
The founder of Times Books, Thomas Lipscomb, who edited a book byPresident Nixon's chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman, said a problem with politicalbooks today is that few want a moderate, beautifully reasoned book. They wanteither "Ann Coulter in full cry or Barack Obama screaming for social justice,"he said.

Rumsfeld Setting Up Service Foundation
SECTION: WASHINGTON DATELINE
LENGTH: 352 words
DATELINE: WASHINGTON
Now that he's out of government, former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld
is setting up a foundation to attract others to public service.
"His whole focus is getting this foundation organized," said Lawrence Di
Rita, once Rumsfeld's spokesman at the Pentagon and still authorized to speak
for him. "He's deep into that."
While Rumsfeld did stints as an investment banker and pharmaceutical
executive, the 75-year-old Republican spent most of his life in public service,
including two separate tours as defense secretary, four terms representing
Illinois in the House of Representatives and various other posts in four
different GOP administrations.
In May, Rumsfeld visited some New York publishing houses and generated rumors
in the publishing industry that he might be contemplating writing a memoir. ButDi Rita said he's undecided about that.
"He's been told by a lot of people they'd be interested in a book discussing
the whole span of his public and private career, not just the current topics of
the day," Di Rita said. His visits to publishers were merely part of a learning
process "to see how that would work and how he would organize it if he decided
to do it."
The only decision Rumsfeld has made is that any book proceeds would help
finance the foundation, Di Rita said. Book or not, Rumsfeld intends to finance
the foundation himself.
There's no target date for launching the foundation, but Rumsfeld has decided
it would not be attached to any particular university. Grants would go directlyto individual scholars at the graduate and postgraduate level, Di Rita said.
"If he finds a promising young scholar developing expertise on public policy
matters, he wants to see what he can do to encourage that and to give that type
of scholar an opportunity to continue his studies with an eye to public
service," Di Rita said.
With the foundation to work on, Rumsfeld hasn't joined corporate boards or
hit the lecture circuit, Di Rita said. He's only spoken at some informal

seminars.
He lives in St. Michaels, Md., and is "enjoying his family," Di Rita said.

Stanford Report, September 12, 2007Rumsfeld appointed distinguished visiting fellow at Hooverprintable version
Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, who resigned from the position last year after
coming under increasing fire for his management of the war in Iraq, has been appointed a distinguished
visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution.
Rumsfeld, who was appointed defense secretary by President George W. Bush in 2001, will serve on a
task force of scholars and experts that will focus on "issues pertaining to ideology and terror," the research
institute announced last week.
"I have asked Don to join the distinguished group of scholars that will pursue new insights on the direction
of thinking that the United States might consider going forward," institution Director John Raisian said in a
statement.
Raisian noted that Rumsfeld has been involved with the institution since 1989 and has served as a
member of its Board of Overseers and as a member of the board's executive committee.
Bush announced Rumsfeld's resignation on Nov. 8, 2006, the day after midterm elections gave Democrats
control of the House of Representatives amid growing voter dissatisfaction with Republican leadership andpolicies on the war.
