Domestic Policy Aide to President Resigns
The White House on Thursday announced the resignation of Kenneth T. Cribb as domestic policy adviser to President Reagan and said he would be succeeded by former aide Danny Crippen.
Cribb, 40, a one-time White House associate of then-presidential counselor Edwin Meese III, went to the Justice Department to serve as chief of staff to Meese when he became attorney general in early 1985. Cribb returned to the White House last year.
Crippen, 36, resigned his White House position as a deputy assistant to the President on July 31 and had been doing private consulting work since then, White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said. Crippen worked primarily on economic and trade policy during his earlier White House stint.
