    E&E News Biden taps N.M. Rep. Deb Haaland for Interior secretary Michael Doyle, E&E News reporter Published: December 17, 2020 at 2:53 PM Rep. Deb Haaland (D-N.M.) on Capitol Hill in June. Francis Chung/E&E News President-elect Joe Biden will nominate New Mexico Rep. Deb Haaland (D) to serve as Interior secretary, three sources tell E&E News. If confirmed by the Senate, the 60-year-old avowedly progressive lawmaker will be the first Native American to head the sprawling department whose responsibilities range from tribal affairs to the management of some 500 million acres of public land. A member of the Laguna Pueblo tribe, Haaland has posted a green record during her single House term representing an Albuquerque-based congressional district. She was comfortably reelected last month 58% to 42%. Several congressional Democrats, including House Natural Resources Chairman Raúl Grijalva of Arizona, openly advocated for Biden to nominate Haaland (E&E Daily, Nov. 20). Chairwoman of the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands, Haaland served on Biden's climate engagement advisory council and is a co-sponsor of the Green New Deal and related aspirational legislation. 1 Her "Environmental Justice Legacy Pollution Cleanup Act," H.R. 8271, introduced in September, would provide $100 billion to clean up legacy pollution and would prohibit granting major source air pollution permits in communities already suffering from air pollution (E&E Daily, Sept. 18). "In my own Pueblo of Laguna, I know families who have to haul water because theirs is contaminated," Haaland said at the time, adding the bill would "stop polluters from taking advantage of communities of color and areas living in poverty." She is an original co-sponsor of the "American Public Lands and Waters Climate Solution Act," H.R.

    Stewart Udall and the Politics of Beauty A documentary film We need your help to make a feature length film designed for Public Television broadcast profiling political leader Stewart Udall, who left a profound legacy of conservation and environmental justice as Secretary of the Interior during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. More importantly perhaps, Udall called on all Americans to move away from our emphasis on economic growth and consumerism and toward quality of life, and a new politics centered on beauty, frugal living, appreciation of nature and the arts, and a recognition of the Earth’s limits. This film will be widely used by activists and in the classroom to inspire environmental stewardship, social justice and the less polarized approach to politics that Udall successfully pursued. We hope this power point will give you a sense of the film, and the quality of our advisors and production team. Udall’s story offers an example of courage and visionary thought that will move many Americans to reflection and action. Who Was Stewart Udall? Stewart Udall was America’s Interior Secretary during the Kennedy/Johnson administrations. He successfully advocated for the creation of many national parks and monuments.

  • Response to 2004 GAO Report (2008)
    SUSANA MARTINEZ GOVERNOR SAMUEL L. OJINAGA ACTING DIRECTOR RICHARD E. MAY CABINET SECRETARY STATE OF NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION LOCAL GOVERNMENT DIVISION Bataan Memorial Building, Suite 201 ♦ Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501 (505) 827-4950 ♦ FAX No. (505) 827-4948 The New Mexico Land Grant Council has printed this document, prepared by David Benavídez and Ryan Golten for the New Mexico Attorney General in August 2008, because it considers it to be one of the most important documents on the legal history and contemporary issues faced by community land grants. It is a response to another document, a report prepared by the U.S. General Accountability Office (GAO) in June 2004, which has received far greater circulation. As stated in the GAO’s letter to Senators Jeff Bingaman and Pete V. Domenici, and to then Congressman Tom Udall, the report was prepared at congressional request and sought to describe the confirmation procedures by which the United States implemented the property protection provisions of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo with respect to New Mexico community land grants, and to assess the results of those procedures. It also identified and responded to concerns regarding those procedures, as implemented between 1854 and 1904, and identified options Congress could consider in responding to the remaining concerns among community land grant heirs. The GAO report concluded that the procedures employed to confirm community land grant claims between 1854 and 1904 did not violate due process. Also, the GAO purposely did not express an opinion on whether the United States fulfilled its Treaty obligations as a matter of international law.

  • Breaking the Phoenix Gender Barrier in 1969
    NO ONE KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT: Breaking the Phoenix Gender Barrier in 1969 The Honorable Mary M. Schroeder 1968 was not a good year for the world, for the United States, or for my husband, Milt, and me. The Vietnam War and public reactions to it were going so badly that in March, President Lyndon Johnson announced he would not stand for re-election in the fall. In April, Martin Luther King was gunned down in Memphis, sparking nation-wide riots including unrest in our Capitol Hill neighborhood in Washington, D.C. The ruckus drove Milt and me out of our little house at 8½ E Street Southeast and into the Virginia countryside while military units descended on Washington to keep order. Things became even worse when, in June, our great hope for the future, Bobby Kennedy, was shot in Los Angeles in a hotel kitchen, and died a few days later. That summer, the Democrats held a fiasco rather than a convention in Chicago, and in November, Richard Nixon was elected President of the United States. By Christmas of 1968, Milt and I had tentatively decided to move so that he could go into law school teaching. Our decision became firm in January 1969, when a number of what appeared to be highly unqualified men took over the top slots in the Department of Justice, where I was a trial attorney in the Civil Division. They tried to reform the Department by making it more like the private sector. One “innovation” was to have all Justice Department attorneys keep time records like lawyers in private practice.
