NAACP Chief to Step Down

White would not say why Mfume was stepping down and said Mfume would not comment until the midday news conference.

Mfume, 56, has been president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People since 1996. Before that, he was a congressman for nine years.

Last month, the organization's chairman, Julian Bond, announced that its tax-exempt status is under review by the government in an investigation he contends stems from a speech he gave that criticized President Bush. Bond said IRS agents were investigating his keynote address July 11 at the NAACP's annual convention in Philadelphia.

For an organization to keep its tax-exempt status, ``leaders cannot make partisan comments in official organization publications or at official organizational functions,'' according to an Oct. 8 letter to the NAACP from the IRS office in Louisville, Ky.
