  William Ruckelshaus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Doyle Ruckelshaus (born July 24, 1932) is an attorney and civil servant in the United States.
In an 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.

 The Ruckelshaus connection (Seattle Weekly)
WILLIAM RUCKELSHAUS is probably best known for his role in the "Saturday Night Massacre." On October 20, 1973, Ruckelshaus quit his job as deputy attorney general under President Richard Nixon rather than carry out Nixon's order to fire Watergate special prosecutor Archibald Cox.
In the 25 years since Watergate, Ruckelshaus has remained in the public eye, serving as a top executive with Weyerhaeuser, head of the US Environmental Protection Agency under President Reagan, an associate of Seattle's largest law firm (Perkins Coie), and CEO of the nation's second-largest waste handler (Houston-based Browning-Ferris Industries).
What's different, though, about how William Ruckelshaus comports himself in the 1990s (as opposed to the '70s and '80s) is his new, low-visibility working style.
