 | | O'Neill, the former CEO of Alcoa, and Lindsey, a former Federal Reserve Governor and architect of the tax cut plan President Bush ran on in 2000, are the second and third major members of the administration's economics team to announce a departure in the last four weeks. |
 | | Possible successors for O'Neill include outgoing Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, and Charles Schwab, founder of the discount brokerage bearing his name, while top contenders for Lindsey's job are R. Glenn Hubbard, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, and Harvard University economist Martin Feldstein, according to political and economic experts. |
