Carter quotes his inability to find a replacement as capable as Lance, while noting an orderly transition. Deputy James McIntyre and aides Bowman Cutter and Harrison Welford would run ongoing operations until a new leader is chosen. Republican critics, including Sen. Charles Percy, reflect on the decision with mixed emotion amid broader Lance-related banking and ethics topics.
