 * "Among them will be a justice on the Texas Supreme Court, Al Gonzales, as Bush's White House counsel, officials close to the process said.


 * "Gonzales has told court associates that he had been offered the job of White House counsel and had accepted it, those GOP officials said Friday.


 * "'I've had discussions with the Governor about working in Washington but any final decision and any announcement of that decision will have to come from him,' said Gonzales, who wouldn't confirm he got the job.


 * "Gonzales, 45, was the second Hispanic to serve on the Texas Supreme Court. Before Bush appointed him to the high court, he served as secretary of state and as the Texas governor's staff general counsel."
