VERMONTY HAUL
Explaining his motivation to leave the Republican Party and become an
Independent, U.S. Sen. James Jeffords (Vt.) this morning listed
"energy and the environment" as two of the "fundamental issues" where
he disagreed most strongly with President Bush. Jeffords is known as
an environmentalist and was one of six founders of the Congressional
Solar Energy Coalition. Reports are that Jeffords will be the next
chair of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee under an
agreement with the new Democratic leadership. If so, Jeffords, with
an 81 percent rating from the League of Conservation Voters in the
last session of Congress (the second highest rating among all
Republicans), would replace Sen. Bob Smith (R-N.H.), who received a 6
percent rating.
