BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- Idaho Sen. Larry Craig will announce his career 
plans Saturday after widespread calls from fellow Republicans to 
resign over a men's room sex sting, his spokesman said Friday.

Dan Whiting, Craig's spokesman, said the senator would hold a news 
conference in Boise Saturday but would not say whether he will step 
down. Idaho Gov. C.L. ''Butch'' Otter already appears to have settled 
on a successor: Lt. Gov. Jim Risch, according to several Republicans 
familiar with internal deliberations.

Craig has been out of public view since Tuesday, but Republican 
sources in Idaho said he spent Friday making calls to top party 
officials, including the governor, gauging their support.

There has been virtually none publicly.

Asked Friday at the White House if the senator should resign, 
President Bush said nothing and walked off stage.
