It's always a pleasure to be work with the Institute, which makes such an important contribution to environmental policy. And it's a special pleasure to be here this evening, honoring a good friend. C Mind you, when I first came to the Senate, I never guessed that John Chafee and I would develop a close relationship. We were junior members of the Finance and the Environment and Public Works Committees, sitting way across the dais from one another. Our states and our backgrounds were very different. Montana has ranches bigger than Rhode Island. And Montanans think that a "blue-blooded Brahmin" isn't o someone you elect to the Senate, but something you ride in a rodeo. Nevertheless, circumstance and seniority brought us together. And, over the years, working with John Chafee has been an unanticipated delight. O Environmental Leadership His greatest impact has been on the Environment Committee, where he has continued the distinguished tradition of New England environmental leaders like Ed Muskie, Bob Stafford, and George Mitchell. 1 He's been responsible for some of the our most important environmental laws. The Clean Water Act of 1987; the Clean Air Act of 1990; the Oil Pollution Act; and the C Endangered Species Act. But to me, what distinguishes John Chafee is not the laws he's written, but the personal qualities he brings to the work of legislating. Three qualities stand out. The first is his toughness. John Chafee has a very refined, genteel style. But when it comes right down to it, he has more grit and determination than anyone I know. The Clean Air Act debate was the best example. We sat there in S-224, a small room just off the Senate floor, for what seemed like an eternity. Night after night. C Facing wave after wave of unhappy Senators. Until two or three in the morning. Rumaging through George Mitchell's office looking for a candy bar or a stale donut. Listening to Alan Simpson tell the same joke for the third or fourth time. When we took the bill to the Senate floor, we faced some pretty tough votes. In C fact, to protect our compromise, we had to vote against amendments that we personally supported, knowing full well that Bruce Babbitt would use the votes to trash our LCV ratings. Through it all, John never flinched. He never lost his energy or good humor. C And he never lost his determination to push on and get the job done. The second quality is his willingness to put politics aside for the common good. John Chafee doesn't want to make a speech or score partisan political points. He he C: wants to pass good laws that help people. We saw that in the early eighties, when stood up against his own Administration when it tried to undermine our environmental laws. We saw it during the Clean Air Act debate, when he persuaded President Bush and the Republican Conference to support a strong bilL. And I am confident that will see it again these next few years. As we address the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act, Superfund, the Safe Drinking Water Act, and other environmental laws, John Chafee will not be trying to make speeches or score points. He'll be trying pass laws that protect the environment. The third quality is his deep commitment to the good old-fashioned conservation ethic. 2 I saw this first-hand back in 1985. We were having problems with the management of the grizzly bear population on Montana's Rocky Mountain Front. So John decided to learn about the problem first hand. We held a hearing in Great Falls. John presided. But he didn't just fly in, hold the gavel for a few hours, and fly out. After the hearing, he went down to the Pine Butte Nature Preserve, to learn more about grizzlies and their habitat. He rode into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. I must say that I have never seen anyone with more reverence and enthusiasm for the land and its natural beauty. In fact, at one point, John turned to me and said "Max, I wish Rhode Island had some wilderness, so that we could protect it." Conclusion C Rhode Island may not have any wilderness. But it does have a great environmental leader. Ironically, the words that describe John Chafee best may be words that he himself used in his first speech on the Senate floor, back in 1977. He was praising Vice C President Nelson Rockefeller. He said: When something needed to be done about mass transportation, you thought about it and did something about it. You thought about the need for clean water and did something about it. You thought about the need for additional parks ... and, you did something about it. So it goes, for better medical care, for [children]. On and on. Things that touch the ives [of people], not only today but for years in the future. The same words apply to John Chafee. He thought about the need to protect the environment. Then he did something about it. His good work will touch people's lives for years in the future. 3.

  • DETERIORATING NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE ROADS WOULD GET BOOST UNDER SENATE BILL -- March 12, 1998
    For release: March 12, 1998 Janet Tennyson 202-2 19-386 1 Peter Umhofer 202-208-60 11 DETERIORATING NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE ROADS WOULD GET BOOST UNDER SENATE BILL Thousands of miles of crumbling roadways in the National Wildlife Refuge System would receive a boost under a transportation bill passedtoday by the U.S. Senate. The new funding would help remedy the $158 million road maintenance backlog faced by world’s largest network of lands dedicated to wildlife. Under the Federal Land Highways Program of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), the reauthorization bill, S. 1173, provides for $20 million in new funding for wildlife refuge roads each year for the next 5 years. “The Senate’s action recognizes the important role the National Wildlife Refuge System plays in safeguarding America’s magnificent wildlife resources,” said Jamie Rappaport Clark, Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the agency responsible for managing the 92-million-acre National Wildlife Refuge System. “I applaud the Senate’s efforts to addressthe maintenance needs of the National Wildlife Refuge System,” said Director Clark. “I also want to recognize the tremendous leadership of SenatorsJohn Chafee and Max Baucus in making sure the legislation addressedthese needs. Receiving this funding under the Federal Lands Highways Program would help us ensure safe and accessible roads for the 30 million Americans who visit national wildlife refuges each year. It would also allow the Fish and Wildlife Service to target limited resources toward vital wildlife conservation programs on refuges.” (over) AMERICA’S NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGES... wherewddkfe comes wzt~~dly! -2- More than 4,200 miles of public roads and 424 bridges are contained in the 5 14 wildlife refuges and 38 wetland management districts making up the National Wildlife Refuge System.

  • The Future of Life
    Second Annual John H. Chafee Memorial Lecture on Science and the Environment The Future of Life Dr. Edward O. Wilson Pellegrino University Research Professor, Harvard University December 6, 2001 THE NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR SCIENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT (NCSE) has been working since 1990 to improve the scientific basis of environmental decisionmaking and has earned an impressive reputa- tion for objectivity, responsibility, and achievement. The Council envisions a society where environmental decisions are based on an accurate understanding of the underlying science, its meaning, and its limitations. In such a society, citizens and decisionmakers receive accurate, understandable, and integrated science-based information. They understand the risks, uncertainties, and potential consequences of their action or inaction. Supported by over 500 academic, scientific, environmental, and business organizations, and federal, state, and local government, NCSE works closely with the many communities creating and using environmental knowledge to make and shape environmental decisions. The Council operates a range of innovative activities in the areas of: Promoting Science for the Environment The Council played an instrumental role in stimulating the National Science Foundation initiative to triple its annual budget for environmental research, education, and scientific assessment. The Council presents expert testimony to Congressional committees, consults regularly with key decisionmakers in government, and works to promote funding for environmental programs at numerous federal agencies. Enhancing Programs at Institutions of Higher Learning NCSE brings members of the academic community together to improve their environmental programs and increase their value to society through the University Affiliate Program, the Council of Environ- mental Deans and Directors, and the Minority Programs Office.

  • JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The
    JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The Personnel Series, consisting of approximately 17,900 pages, is comprised of three subseries, an alphabetically arranged Chiefs of Mission Subseries, an alphabetically arranged Special Liaison Staff Subseries and a Chronological Subseries. The entire series focuses on appointments and evaluations of ambassadors and other foreign service personnel and consideration of political appointees for various posts. The series is an important source of information on the staffing of foreign service posts with African- Americans, Jews, women, and individuals representing various political constituencies. Frank assessments of the performances of many chiefs of mission are found here, especially in the Chiefs of Mission Subseries and much of the series reflects input sought and obtained by Secretary Dulles from his staff concerning the political suitability of ambassadors currently serving as well as numerous potential appointees. While the emphasis is on personalities and politics, information on U.S. relations with various foreign countries can be found in this series. The Chiefs of Mission Subseries totals approximately 1,800 pages and contains candid assessments of U.S. ambassadors to certain countries, lists of chiefs of missions and indications of which ones were to be changed, biographical data, materials re controversial individuals such as John Paton Davies, Julius Holmes, Wolf Ladejinsky, Jesse Locker, William D. Pawley, and others, memoranda regarding Leonard Hall and political patronage, procedures for selecting career and political candidates for positions, discussions of “most urgent problems” for ambassadorships in certain countries, consideration of African-American appointees, comments on certain individuals’ connections to Truman Administration, and lists of personnel in Secretary of State’s office.

Unless firmly rooted in the needs of a constituency, the growth and ongoing development of a community organization may only last a short while. So it is with tremendous respect for the enduring value of Harriet Walzer Sheridan’s vision for professional development in higher education at Brown, that we salute the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the Sheridan Center. Her vision continues to inspire a growing cohort of faculty, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students, at Brown, across the country and internationally, to challenge themselves to think substantively about the purpose of education in a complex global environment. The endowment of the Sheridan Center by Frederick Lippitt is a testament to the commitment by both Dean Sheridan and Mr. Lippitt to the value of education in a democratic society and the need to support the professional development of its faculty, present and future. —5— A Definition of the Purpose of Education The origins of the Harriet W.

DESCRIPTORS Change Strategies; *Educational Change; *Governance; Government Role; *Government School Relationship; *Higher Education; Politics; *Public Policy; State Government IDENTIFIERS *ASHE Antrael Meeting; *State Governors ABSTRACT The popular image of the "Education Governor" was investigated, with attention to:(1) the extent to which the specific education measures proposed in inaugural and state of the state addresses of 20 "Education Governors" of the 1960s through 1980s corresponded with the subsequent actions of these officials; and (2) the specific personal attributes, professional goals and activities, and actual involvement in education that characterize these "Education Governors" of the 1960s through the 1980s. The roots of the "Education Governor" idea are traced to four turn of the century governors, one from North Carolina, tua from Virginia, and one from Alabama, all of whom held office between 1901 and 1911. The 20 recent governors and their states are as follows:. Jerry Apodaca (New Mexico); Reubin Askew (Florida): Edmund G. Brown, Sr. (California); John Chafee (Rhode Island); Bill Clinton (Arkansas); Winfield Dunn (Tennessee); Pierre S. duPont, IV (Delaware); Robert D. Graham (Florida); Clifford T.
