Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld dropped plans to join President Bush at a NATO summit this month in Latvia, in light of his announced resignation, a Rumsfeld spokesman said.
The Pentagon will be represented at the meeting by Eric Edelman, the undersecretary of defense for policy, according to Lt. Col. Karen Finn, a Pentagon spokeswoman.
The NATO summit is Nov. 28-29 in the Balkan nation's capital of Riga.
Pentagon press secretary Eric Ruff reaffirmed that Rumsfeld plans to remain at his post until the Senate confirms his successor.
