As we speculated here last week, J.D. Crouch it is, for deputy national security advisor. Here's Chris Nelson tonight:

Gossip...the new Deputy National Security Advisor was formally announced today...he’s Amb to Romania, and arms controller Jack Dyer Crouch the 2d, National Security Advisor Hadley’s principal deputy in Bush 1. Crouch will chair the Deputies’ meetings, while Elliot Abrams will be one of several lower ranking NSC deputies to be named this week...

Update: Dave Meyer has more. Al Kamen has more on possible successors to Douglas Feith.
