The Nation : SBA Chief to Resign Post

James C. Sanders, head of the Small Business Administration since 1982 and a foe of the Reagan Administration’s continuing efforts to abolish his agency, said he will resign his post. “I have pretty much completed all the things that we set out to do. I am very proud of what the SBA has accomplished,” Sanders said in an interview. “It is not my job to determine what agencies get cut,” Sanders said. He said his decision to step aside was not prompted by his differences with the White House budget office. “I have always supported the Administration’s position and I support the President’s final decisions.”
