Victims' families are lobbying for the appointment of former New Hampshire Republican Senator Warren Rudman to head the inquiry, but the White House is unlikely to tap him. Sources tell TIME that one of the Administration's top choices to replace Kissinger is another Republican veteran, David M. Abshire, ambassador to nato during the Reagan years.
