Her ideas created the new Explorer SportTrac
And a media frenzy.
She wanted to develop new materials for automotive uses. She ended
up developing a brand new automotive category.
Candy's ideas played a key role in the development of the tonneau
cover for the all-new Explorer SportTrac. She worked with suppliers
to develop the concept. She designed the parts. She conducted
testing. And she even worked with Ford assembly on installation.
And when the SportTrac was introduced to the world, so was
Candy. The media actually mentioned her by name in several
publications. Of course, at Ford Motor Company we've always
believed that credit should go where credit is due. And in the
case of the new Explorer SportTrac, Candy deserves all
the credit in the world. Imagine where your ideas could take you
when you explore the world of Ford Motor Company.

THE BATTALIO
Senate confirms new EPA heai
By John Heilprin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The
Senate confirmed Utah Gov.
Mike Leavitt as head of the
Environmental Protection
Agency on Tuesday, filling a
four-month vacancy with a lop
sided vote that did not reflect the
efforts by some Democrats to
turn his nomination into a refer
endum on President Bush’s envi
ronmental policies.
By a vote of 88-8, senators
backed Bush’s choice of the Utah
Republican to head the nation’s
lead agency for enforcing envi
ronmental rules. Leavitt said he
will start the job at EPA on Nov.
6, a day after he resigns as gover
nor. His first task, Leavitt said,
will be to earn the trust of EPA’s
18,000 employees.
“I continue to be very opti
mistic that I can make a contri
bution,” he told reporters from
Salt Lake City, where he learned
about the midmorning vote
while working out at a down
town healthclub. “I accepted
this responsibility because 1
believe the president is commit
ted to substantially more
progress on the environment,
and doing it in such a way that
does not compromise our place
in the world competitively.”
The nominee was helped by
his three terms as governor, dur
ing which he gained a reputation
as an affable and competent man
ager and molded alliances among
Senate Democrats who are
Westerners or fonner governors.
Just after the vote. Sen. James
Jeffords, I-Vt., who had once
tried to delay the confirmation
vote, shared a laugh with and, in
a congratulatory gesture, twice
patted the shoulder of Sen. James
Inhofe, R-Okla., who chairs the
Senate Environment and Public
Works Committee.
Despite weeks of Democratic
efforts to block or delay the vote,
including a boycott of one of
Inhofe’s committee meetings,
only eight voted against Leavitt.
One, Sen. Frank Lautenberg of
New Jersey, led the charge
against the nominee on the
Senate floor.
“Despite his commentary
about balance and stewardship.
Gov. Leavitt’s record ... reveals a
disturbing tendency to place
shortsighted economic gain of
regulated industries above pro
tecting the long-term health of the
public,” Lautenberg said.
“The last three years have
been the darkest hour of our
nation’s commitment to environ
mental protection since EPA was
created,” he said. “This White
