WASHINGTON — Condoleezza Rice (search) has been nominated to lead U.S. diplomatic efforts during President Bush's second term, replacing Colin Powell (search) as secretary of state, the commander in chief announced Tuesday.
"Condoleezza Rice is already known to all Americans and to much of the world. During the last four years, I've relied on her counsel, benefited from her great experience and appreciated her sound and steady judgment, and now I'm honored she's agreed to serve in my Cabinet," Bush said at the White House in announcing her nomination.
Saying the secretary of state is "America's face to the world," Bush said the international community, in Rice, will see the "strength, grace and decency" of the United States.
Asking for quick Senate confirmation, Bush added: "The nation needs her."

Powell, who Bush on Tuesday called "one of the most admired and effective diplomats" in America's history, announced his resignation on Monday, saying he had never intended to stay more than one term but would stay on until a replacement was named.
"He has been tireless and selfless and principled and our entire nation is grateful to his lifetime of service," Bush said of Powell.
