Lee's death the following year brought Spencer W. Kimball to the church presidency, who retained Romney and First Counselor Nathan Eldon Tanner in their positions.
Tanner remained in this position for the presidency of Joseph Fielding Smith (1970–1972), and then became first counselor to Smith's successor Harold B. Lee, remaining first counselor to Lee and Spencer W. Kimball until his own death.
