Senate approves Rey to oversee
land conservation programs
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The Senate on Wednesday
approved President Bush’s nom
inee to oversee national forests
and land conservation programs
at the Agriculture Department.
Mark Rey, now the
Agriculture undersecretary for
natural resources and the envi
ronment, said he has spent the
last month taking in information
and now will begin to meet with
outside interest groups.
“Tomorrow will be the first
day we sit down and go for
ward,” he said.
Senators confirmed the nom
ination without dissent.
Environmentalists were
quick to complain about Rey, a
former timber industry lobbyist.
“Mr. Rey, hand-in-hand with
his timber industry allies, would
like to take us down a path that
leads to more logging, mining
and drilling in our national
forests,” said Jane Danowitz,
director of the Heritage Forests
Campaign.
Since 1995, Rey has served
as a top adviser to Sen. Lair
Craig, R-Idaho, at a Sentt
forests and public land manaj
ment subcommittee. Befe
that, he also spent two decade
with forest product organize
lions, including the America;
Forest & Paper Association.
“Mark’s experiences bring;
much-needed common sens;
approach to management of on
public lands,” Craig said iiu
statement. “We are one steji
closer to restoring the health d
our national forest lands.”
Task Force

cameras to look for survivors. After the void was
deemed stable, the team members searched the
space by hand.
The task force carried out high-angle rescue,
scaling metal out-croppings that remained stand
ing at the site, splitting it into parts and safely
removing it. This opened new areas to be searched
and cleared.
TX-TF1 was the first team to find parts of one
of the planes that crashed into the WTC.
The team was one of the four FEMA Urban
Search and Rescue Teams on duty at the WTC site
from Sept. 19 to Sept. 25. The three other teams
were deployed from Utah and Florida.
Members stayed at the Jacob Javitz center in
New York City. During their 12-hour rest periods,
team members slept, ate and visited with celebri
ties who thanked them for their efforts.
The task force completed its final shift at the
WTC at 7 a.m. Sept. 25 and was then transferred
to Fort Dix, New Jersey before flying to Austin-
Bergstrom International Airport aboard a charted
commercial plane.
After lunch and a visit with their families,Ik
task members boarded a bus and headed back
College Station, where TX-TF1 is headquarterei!|
The team was met at the Brayton Fire Trainffi
Field by remaining family members, A&,\
System Chancellor Howard Graves and Boardo
Regents Chairman Erie Nye before being
debriefed.
Dr. Kemble Bennett, the associate viced®-
cellor for engineering and head of the U-Tfl
team, told his team that he was proud.
“You’ve made Texas proud,” Bennett A
“God Bless each and every one of you forihejA
you did up there. We took the tough jobs nobod;
else would take. Remember that.”
Fred Taylor’s sister Kathy Boykin was proud
of him and what he had done, but she was read;
for him to come home.
“We are relieved that he is coming home sale j
ly,” Boykin said. “He wasn’t gone long butwhiil
he was there they worked hard.”
Taylor said it was good to be back.
“We did a job, we did what we’ve been tntiij
ing for,” he said. “It is hard to describe whats;
did and saw. I don’t know if you can.”
