Senator Jeffords is blocking the confirmation of four Bush appointees to the Environmental Protection Agency. Jeffords is insisting that the EPA release internal documents relating to various administration policy decisions, proclaiming he is concerned with “truly life-and-death matters.” Yet while Jeffords insists he does not oppose the nominees themselves, some enviornmental groups hope he maintains his holds, Grist reports. Some nominees the greens oppose, such as Interior Department lawyer Ann Klee, would sail through the Senate were Jeffords to release them.
