deputy administrator after learning America's Clean Water Foundation

"has become the subject of scrutiny.""While my service on the

board of that now-dissolved organization is not the subject of the

scrutiny, I believe the energy and environmental challenges facing our

nation are too great to delay confirmation for this position, and I do

not wish to present any distraction to the agency," Cannon said in a

statement released by EPA.His withdrawal marks the latest round

of problems for the Obama administration's personnel team -- it lost its

initial picks to head the Commerce Department and the Department of

Health and Human Services.Cannon didn't offer other details about

the group or who may have taken issue with his role in the nonprofit.

The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee had scheduled a

confirmation hearing for tomorrow on Cannon's appointment.In 2007, the EPA inspector general issued a <a href="http://www.eenews.net/public/25/10304/features/documents/2009/03/25/document_pm_04.pdf">report</a>

(pdf) questioning more than $25 million in federal grants awarded

between 1998 and 2003 to America's Clean Water Foundation for

environmental studies of agricultural production facilities, as well as

other Clean Water Act monitoring efforts.The report found that

the Clean Water Foundation had not complied with federal grant

regulations and had given a contract to a member of its board of

directors, Washington consultant Charlie Grizzle, in violation of

conflict of interest provisions.In an interview, Grizzle,

president of the Grizzle Co., expressed surprise about Cannon's decision

to withdraw from consideration for the EPA job."I encouraged Jon

to join the board," Grizzle said. "It's like anything else. You're a

volunteer to meet a couple times a year for a nonprofit. But it doesn’t

excuse any of us from proper oversight."Grizzle acknowledged that

the group had misused funds and had poor accounting, though he added

that its work was for "a good cause," trying to to stem pollution from

large confined animal feeding operations. He added, "But I think those

issues were addressed and put to bed."The EPA inspector general

has completed all of its audits of America's Clean Water Foundation,

according to IG spokeswoman Eileen McMahon.Matt Dempsey, a

spokesman for the Senate Environment panel's ranking Republican, Sen.

James Inhofe of Oklahoma, said committee staff had raised the issue of

the investigation of Cannon's former group during a meeting on Monday."But

this announcement came to us as a surprise," Dempsey said of Cannon's

withdrawal. "Senator Inhofe had every intention of supporting him in

this process."Staff to committee Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) referred questions on Cannon's withdrawal to EPA.In

a statement, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said, "I'm disappointed

that Jon Cannon will be unable to serve as deputy administrator, and I

thank him for his many years of dedication to the EPA. The

administration will move quickly to identify a new candidate who can

help us carry out our mission to preserve environmental sustainability

and create green jobs as we transition the nation to a clean energy

economy."Betsaida Alcantara, an EPA spokeswoman, declined further

comment on Cannon's decision. "The statement speaks for itself," she

said. A White House spokesman also declined comment.Cannon worked

at EPA under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush before

spending three years as the agency's general counsel under President

Bill Clinton.In 1998, Cannon authored a controversial, six-page

memo on the agency's authority to establish greenhouse gas regulations

under the Clean Air Act -- a document that led to a lengthy series of

legal petitions and ultimately the landmark 2007 Supreme Court decision

on climate change in Massachusetts v. EPA.At EPA, Cannon

also held a variety of senior management positions, including deputy

general counsel for litigation and regional operations, deputy assistant

administrator for civil enforcement, deputy assistant administrator for

the Solid Waste Emergency Response Office, and chief financial officer.Between

stints at EPA, Cannon served as senior counsel at the environmental,

land use and litigation law firm Beveridge & Diamond. He most

recently taught law at the University of Virginia.

Ruckelshaus was born in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indianapolis,_Indiana" title="Indianapolis, Indiana" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Indianapolis, Indiana</a>, to a distinguished family with a long history of practicing law in Indianapolis and serving in Republican Party politics.

He attended parochial schools until the age of 16, then finished high school in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portsmouth,_Rhode_Island" title="Portsmouth, Rhode Island" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Portsmouth, Rhode Island</a>, at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portsmouth_Abbey_School" title="Portsmouth Abbey School" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Portsmouth Abbey School</a>.

After passing the Indiana bar exam, Ruckelshaus joined the family law firm of Ruckelshaus, Bobbitt, and O'Connor.

Starting at age 28, he was Deputy Attorney General of Indiana from 1960 through 1965. For two years he was assigned to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indiana_Board_of_Health&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Indiana Board of Health (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Indiana Board of Health</a>. As counsel to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indiana_Stream_Pollution_Control_Board&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Indiana Stream Pollution Control Board (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Indiana Stream Pollution Control Board</a>, Ruckelshaus obtained court orders prohibiting industries and municipalities from heavy pollution of the state's water supply. He also helped draft the 1961 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indiana_Air_Pollution_Control_Act&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Indiana Air Pollution Control Act (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Indiana Air Pollution Control Act</a>, the state's first attempt to reduce that problem. He then spent two years as Chief Counsel for the Attorney General's Office.

Ruckelshaus then began a political career. He ran in 1964 as a moderate Republican for an Indiana Congressional seat, losing in the primaries to a candidate from the conservative wing of the party. He then spent a year as Minority Attorney for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_State_Senate" title="Indiana State Senate" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Indiana State Senate</a>.

He then won a seat in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_House_of_Representatives" title="Indiana House of Representatives" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Indiana House of Representatives</a>, benefitting from an up year for Republicans overall. He became Majority Leader of the House in his first term, serving in that capacity from 1967 to 1969.

He won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in 1968, but lost in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_elections,_1968" title="United States Senate elections, 1968" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">general election</a> 51%-48% to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birch_Bayh" title="Birch Bayh" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Birch Bayh</a>.

Although many people were mentioned as possibilities for this new position, Ruckelshaus got the nod based upon the strong recommendation of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S.Attorney_General" title="U.S. Attorney General" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">U.S. Attorney General</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_N.Mitchell" title="John N.

Ruckelshaus laid the foundation for the EPA by hiring its leaders, defining its mission, deciding priorities, and selecting an organizational structure. During his early tenure in the EPA, the agency issued a ban on DDT, against the advice of the EPA hearing examiner, Judge Edmund Sweeney.

He also served as a director of American Water Development with, among others, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Strong" title="Maurice Strong" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Maurice Strong</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Belzberg" title="Samuel Belzberg" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Samuel Belzberg</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Crutchfield" title="Alexander Crutchfield" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Alexander Crutchfield</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Lamm" title="Richard Lamm" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Richard Lamm</a>.

In 1983, with the EPA in crisis due to mass resignations over the mishandling of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superfund" title="Superfund" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Superfund</a> project,<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Ruckelshaus#cite_note-1" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">[1]</a> President <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan" title="Ronald Reagan" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Ronald Reagan</a> appointed Ruckelshaus to serve as EPA Administrator again. This time it was White House Chief of Staff <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Baker" title="James Baker" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">James Baker</a> who was Ruckelshaus's champion in asking him to return to the agency. The White House acceded to Ruckhelshaus's request to allow him maximum autonomy in the choice of new appointees.

Ruckelshaus attempted to win back public confidence in the EPA, a challenging task in the face of a skeptical press and a wary Congress, both of whom scrutinized all aspects of the agency's activities and some of whom interpreted a number of its actions in the worst possible light. Nonetheless, Ruckelshaus filled the top-level staffing slots with persons of competence, turned the attention of the staff back to the agency's fundamental mission, and raised the esteem of the agency in the public mind.

On November 28, 1984, Ruckelshaus announced that he would be retiring as EPA head, effective January 5, 1985, around the start of President Reagan's second term. In actuality he stayed on until February 7, 1985.

I've had an awful lot of jobs in my lifetime, and in moving from one to another, have had the opportunity to think about what makes them worthwhile. I've concluded there are four important criteria: interest, excitement, challenge, and fulfillment. I've never worked anywhere where I could find all four to quite the same extent as at EPA. I can find interest, challenge, and excitement as [board chair of a company]. I do have an interesting job. But it is tough to find the same degree of fulfillment I found in the government. At EPA, you work for a cause that is beyond self-interest and larger than the goals people normally pursue. You're not there for the money, you're there for something beyond yourself.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Ruckelshaus#cite_note-2" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">[2]</a>
