President Bush yesterday nominated Utah governor Michael Leavitt to head the Environmental Protection Agency replacing Christie Todd Whitman who resigned in May. Philip E. Clapp, head of the National Environmental Trust, said, “I can’t think of too many governors more hostile to government regulations than Mike Leavitt.” We’ll have more on this later in the show. Bush’s announcement came at the beginning of a three-week drive during which he hopes to bolster his environmental image. A Wilderness Society official in Montana, predicted Bush would attempt to “to do more environmental stuff in the next three weeks than he has done in the last three years”
