	SAAweb - Repatriation
		In a letter dated September 21, 2000 US Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt conveyed his decision that the remains of Kennewick Man are Native American under the meaning of NAGPRA and that these remains are culturally affiliated with five claimant tribes.
		On September 25, 2000, the Department of the Interior (DOI) released a letter dated September 21, 2000 from Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt to the Honorable Louis Caldera, Secretary of the Army regarding the Department of the Interior's assessment of cultural affiliation for Kennewick Man in connection with the Bonnichsen et al.
		The Secretary's involvement in the case results from the Department of the Army's delegation of its authority to DOI (accepted in March, 1998) to determine whether the Kennewick remains are Native American under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and to decide on the appropriate disposition of the remains.

	08/22/01 -- US groups call on government to save grizzlies
		By DUANE A. Eight environmental organizations have called upon US Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton to reinstate the Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan, a plan to save grizzlies across the region of Idaho and Montana called the Selway Bitterroot Ecosystem that they claim Norton abandoned, the National Wildlife Federation reported.
		According to the NWF, Secretary Norton announced that she was "abandoning" a November 2000 Grizzly Bear Recovery plan that was adopted by the US Fish and Wildlife Service in favor of a "no action" alternative.
		The President of the Society for Conservation Biology, Reed Noss, reportedly said his organization, "urges the Secretary of the Interior to implement the Record of Decision adopted in November 2000 to restore grizzly bears, as scientific studies overwhelmingly suggest this action is essential to recovery of this native carnivore in the lower 48 states."

		Although the US has only one vote, and as of December last year (Kyoto meeting of the WHC) is no longer on the Bureau, it is by far the most influential member of the Committee.
		The US delegate voted with the rest of the Committee last year, to place Kakadu on the 'in Danger' list, pending yet another decision which will take place in July 12 at an extraordinary meeting of the WHC in Paris.
		However, there are indications that the position of the US delegation may be at best wobbly, and they have been far too inclined to listen to the Australian delegation, who want to mine uranium in Kakadu without it being listed as' in Danger'.

	Interior secretary to face prosecutor
		Attorney General Janet Reno formally requested February 11 the appointment of an independent counsel to investigate charges of corruption and perjury against Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt.
		This event was the turning point in Babbitt's political career, catapulting him to national prominence as a right-wing "New Democrat," like his fellow governor from Arkansas, and leading to an abortive presidential bid in 1988, followed by his selection as Secretary of the Interior by Clinton.
		Babbitt has denied any direct involvement in the casino decision, which was made by a lower-level Interior Department official, and in sworn testimony before a Senate subcommittee last year he denied that White House pressure, based on the anticipated campaign contribution, was responsible for the outcome.
