| Randall Tobias, head of the Bush administration's foreign aid programmes, has abruptly resigned.
Tobias' name had surfaced in an investigation into a high-priced call-girl ring, said two people in a position to know the circumstances of his departure.
The State Department has put out a statement announcing Tobias' resignation, saying he ''informed Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that he must step down as Director of US Foreign Assistance and US Agency for International Development Administrator effective immediately.''
''He is returning to private life for personal reasons,'' the statement said.
Tobias held two titles: director of US foreign assistance and administrator for the US Agency for International Development.
His rank was equivalent to deputy secretary of state.
Rice named Tobias to head the two programmes in January 2006. He had been the White House's coordinator for global AIDS relief.
