WASHINGTON (AP) -- Louisiana Sen. John Breaux, a leading Democratic centrist during three terms in office, has told fellow lawmakers he intends to retire next year rather than seek re-election, officials said Monday. Breaux' retirement would make him the fifth southern Democrat to step down in 2004, further compounding the party's difficulties in its struggle to gain a Senate majority. Breaux, 59, scheduled an announcement in Baton Rouge. Several officials speaking on condition of anonymity said he informed several fellow lawmakers of his intentions. Republicans hold a 51-48 majority in the Senate, with one Democrat-leaning independent. Apart from Breaux, four other southern Democrats have announced plans to retire in states where President Bush figures to run strongly next year. They include Sens. Bob Graham of Florida; John Edwards of North Carolina, Ernest Hollings of South Carolina and Zell Miller of Georgia. AP-ES-12-15-03 1319EST
