- Apparently there is now a heated battle erupting over the Department
- of the Interior appointment...the environmentalists and the Hispanics
- are fighting over it. Environmentalists want Bruce Babbitt; Hispanics
- are demanding Bill Richardson of New Mexico, who is of Hispanic
- descent.
-
- Richardson has a decent environmental record, but the environmentalists
- say it's not good enough.
-
- Babbitt has a good environmental record, but the Hispanics want one of
- their own; they're angry that Clinton has appointed only one Hispanic
- (Henry Cisneros).
-
- Meanwhile, Clinton is reportedly surprised at his sudden attack of
- acute laryngitis. "Forgive my voice," he gasped at his press conference
- yesterday. "I'm trying to meet my Christmas deadline. I just can't
- sleep very much...My doctor checked me out Friday and said my voice
- was completely healed. I'm just completely stunned by this."
-
- Maybe if the partisans would shut up, we could hear him.
