  William Ruckelshaus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Doyle Ruckelshaus (born July 24, 1932) is an attorney and civil servant in the United States.
In a 1973 event known as the "Saturday Night Massacre", Ruckelshaus and his boss, Elliot Richardson, famously resigned their positions within the Justice Department rather than obey an order from President Richard Nixon to fire the Watergate special prosecutor, Archibald Cox, who was investigating official misconduct on the part of the president and his aides.
Ruckelshaus was appointed by President Bush to serve on the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy, mandated by the Oceans Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-256), authorized by Congress and appointed by the President.

 State: Jumble of policies, laws governs oceans
ST. PETERSBURG -- The nation's laws and policies on the oceans are so overlapped and entangled that a new federal agency might be needed to bring some order to the mess, according to William D. Ruckelshaus, a former administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
In an interview, Ruckelshaus, who heads the commission's working group on governance, said a recommendation for a new federal agency "is clearly on the table." A new agency might be combined with one that already exists, he said, but he emphasized that no such decision has been made.
Retired Adm. James D. Watkins, former chief of naval operations and chairman of the commission, agreed, calling current laws, regulations and policies "byzantine." Some kind of "new structure at the federal level" probably will be required, he said.

The risk assessment-management bifurcation is unjustified, both by intuition and policy that requires recovery priority rankings to consider the degree of conflict with development.
And while Ruckelshaus makes the correct point that normative politics should be excluded, risk assessment does require positive input from both the physical and economic systems that provide the means of choice.
Species are more likely to be endangered the greater the conflict with development activities; species are less threatened the greater the conservation efforts.
