Sayers remained at the Bureau of Mines until a new interior secretary replaced him in 1947. While still in office as a lame duck, and (according to the syndicated newspaper columnist Drew Pearson) without checking with his superiors, Sayers sent Lewis a letter that the Mine Workers president used to justify a national coal strike.37 A few months later, he was rewarded by Lewis with the position of chairman of the medical board of the union s newly established health plan, which in the following years resisted recognition of black lung disease.38...

The gases and protective equipment were produced at Edgewood Arsenal in Maryland and New York City, respectively (Skolnik Reese, 1976).

The leader of Reagan s attack on environmentalism was James Watt, his first secretary of the interior, one of the legal thinkers behind the Wise Use Movement. Watt openly despised the Endangered Species Act and refused to list a single endangered species for 382 days straight—a record that would endure for a quarter century. 

An investigation by the center revealed how the administration pressured scientists and falsified data in order to deny or overturn protections for endangered species. The scandal revolved around a deputy secretary of the interior, Julie MacDonald, whose job seemed to be to limit or eliminate protections for endangered species, all over the nation and the world. A farmer and civil engineer from California with no training as a biologist, MacDonald—according to the Interior...

In January 1917, the Ministers of War and of Education countersigned the license. This was repeated in late summer, using the date 24 January 1917, since both the Imperial Office of the Interior and the Ministry of Justice insisted on countersigning. Even before these bureaucratic hurdles were overcome, the Berlin Academy had indicated its willingness to collaborate. Its secretary, the classical philologist Herman Diels, was elected the KWKW s administrative director, and its administrative office was established in the rooms of the Academy at 38, Unter den Linden. Its scientific board members - i.e., the chairs of the expert committees -were elected by the Academy, and received the Kaiser s confirmation.
