Remarkably researched; my compliments!

I've not anything to add except for a quick footnote. Ann Gorsuch was apparently quickly replaced by Bill Ruckelshaus, who had been Nixon's first EP administrator. From the dawn of EPA to the 1990s, according to a recent On The Media episode, the environment was more of a people vs. big business issue, and not a Democrat vs. Republican issue. Gorsuch's son now sits awaiting a confirmation to the Supreme Court. It is difficult to imagine him being a staunch defender of the environment, although none of us shares our parents' views entirely.

Yes, I thought that name sounded familiar when I saw it in headlines. An image search for "Neil Gorsuch outdoors" returns a million photos of him wearing jacket and tie walking down corridors or standing behind a lectern. But he's a really nice guy!

It occurred to me that I had never noticed EPA offices in downtown D.C., and just discovered that their spacious campus is tucked between two awkward neighbors.

thenewgreen, when should I make that reservation at Central?

It is very likely that I'll be spending some significant amounts of time in DC during late April, early May.
