   TOKYO - Nissan Motor Co's nominating committee will discuss Chief
   Executive Hiroto Saikawa's resignation and possible successors at a
   meeting on Monday, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.

   Saikawa has expressed his desire to resign from the troubled automaker
   and is not "clinging to his chair", the source said, declining to be
   identified because the information has not been made public.

   The Nikkei newspaper earlier reported that Saikawa told reporters on
   Monday he wanted to "pass the baton" to the next generation as soon as
   possible. The executive has come under pressure since admitting last
   week to being improperly compensated.
