In his letter, Mr. Pitt said he would leave "as soon as I can help your staff ensure a smooth transition of leadership."

Among the people being considered to succeed him are Richard C. Breeden, a former S.E.C. chairman under the first President Bush; Michael Chertoff, the assistant attorney general in charge of the criminal division at the Justice Department; James Doty, a securities lawyer who was S.E.C. general counsel under Mr. Breeden and represented George W. Bush before he became governor of Texas; Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former New York mayor; Joseph A. Grundfest, a former S.E.C. commissioner who now teaches at Stanford Law School; Gov. Frank Keating of Oklahoma; and Frank Zarb, the former chairman of Nasdaq.

Mr. Pitt is only the second chairman of the S.E.C. to resign abruptly because of political turmoil. In 1973, G. Bradford Cook resigned 74 days after taking office during part of the Watergate-related scandals. He had been accused of deleting references from an S.E.C. injunction to a secret $200,000 cash contribution made by the financier Robert L. Vesco to the Committee to Re-elect the President.
