Amongst the prestige roles revealed today in Belfast for the UN: suggesting people who can serve on the Iraqi Interim Authority
Q Mr. President, what is -- what exactly is the vital role for the U.N. that you both mentioned? How do you explain what is a vital role? And are we going to see the same U.N. debate over postwar Iraq that we saw before the war?
PRESIDENT BUSH: Well, I view a vital role as a agent to help people live freely. That's a vital role. That means food, that means medicine, that means aid, that means a place where people can give their contributions, that means suggesting people for the IIA
Will these suggestions get the same weight that suggestions from conservationists were given in Dick Cheney's Energy Task Force?
[from Natural Resources Defense Council]
The March 21, 2001, memo from a Dept of Energy official, Margot Anderson, to another DOE staff member, Peter Karpoff, asks Karpoff to review any submitted proposals [from environmental groups] and "recommend some we might like to support that are consistent with the Administration energy statements to date." Although NRDC was not among the 11 environmental groups listed in the memo, we did receive a call around this time from a DOE staff member, who gave us 24 hours to provide recommendations to the task force.
