Senate Confirms Rey

On September 26, the Senate confirmed Mark Rey in the position of Undersecretary of Agriculture for Natural Resources and the Environment by unanimous consent. Most recently a staff member on the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Rey spent 18 years with the American Forest & Paper Association and its predecessor organizations, working on federal policy and racking up a reputation as an astute advocate for resource access. For a sample of Mr. Rey's views on the environment, public land policy, local involvement in resource issues, and man's relationship with nature, a lengthy address he delivered to the University of California at Berkeley's College of Natural Resources last year is highly recommended: www.cnr.berkeley.edu/forestry/rey.html.
