Clinton to Block Bush EPA Nominee Sat September 6, 2003 10:49 PM ET By Tim Ahmann WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Saturday she would block President Bush's choice for a top environmental post, ratcheting up pressure on the White House to answer questions on whether New Yorkers were misled on health risks after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. "I will personally block the nomination of the president's new choice for the Environmental Protection Agency," the New York Democrat said, referring to Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt, who Bush tapped last month to take the helm at the agency. Clinton has been pressing the White House for details on how it may have downplayed the possible adverse environmental and health impact of the attack on the World Trade Center. A report released by the EPA's inspector general on Aug. 22 said the White House Council on Environmental Quality persuaded EPA to "add reassuring statements and delete cautionary ones" from news releases the agency sent out after the attack. "That was wrong. That was inexcusable," Clinton told a gathering marking the 100th anniversary of the Teamsters union. "I want to know exactly what happened." The White House said Clinton's threat to block a Senate vote on Leavitt's nomination smacked of politics. The Senate must approve the nomination before Leavitt can take the post. "It is unfortunate that Senator Clinton would seek to politicize such a qualified nominee as Governor Leavitt. He has consistently made inroads on environmental policy," White House spokesman Taylor Gross said. Clinton and Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, a Democratic presidential hopeful, had written to Bush four days after the EPA report was released to ask for a thorough accounting of White House involvement in the drafting of the EPA news releases. The two senators had asked Bush to respond by Sept. 5, but Clinton said no answer had been received. In a statement on Saturday, Lieberman said he supported Clinton's decision to put a "hold" on Leavitt's nomination. "The Bush administration's silence in response to our request for information ... is unacceptable," Lieberman said. Under Senate rules, any senator may place a hold on a nomination to prevent it from coming up for a vote.
