EPA Statement on Jon Cannon

Contacts: Betsaida Alcantara, 202-564-1692 / alcantara.betsaida@epa.gov
Brendan Gilfillan, 202-564-2081 / gilfillan.brendan@epa.gov

(Washington, D.C. – March 25, 2009) Jon Cannon, nominee for Deputy U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator, released the following statement:

“Today I am voluntarily removing my name from consideration to be Deputy Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. It has come to my attention that America’s Clean Water Foundation, where I once served on the board of directors, has become the subject of scrutiny. While my service on the board of that now-dissolved organization is not the subject of the scrutiny, I believe the energy and environmental challenges facing our nation are too great to delay confirmation for this position, and I do not wish to present any distraction to the agency.”

EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson said: “I’m disappointed that Jon Cannon will be unable to serve as Deputy Administrator, and I thank him for his many years of dedication to the EPA. The administration will move quickly to identify a new candidate who can help us carry out our mission to preserve environmental sustainability and create green jobs as we transition the nation to a clean energy economy.”

It makes targeted, strategic investments that strengthen the economy and ensure economic stability over the long-term, reverses the Republican and Bush budget legacy of deficits and debt, and makes significant strides to restore fiscal responsibility.

I wanted to tell you about an exciting new feature just launched on the White House website called "Open for Questions."

Here's how it works -- President Obama is inviting everyone to ask a question about the economy and to rate other questions up or down.

On Thursday morning, the President will conduct an online town hall on the economy and answer some of the most popular questions live.

Watch a video of the President explaining this new feature and be a part of it now.

"Open for Questions" is an opportunity to open up the White House to all Americans.

It's an experiment designed to encourage transparency and accountability by giving you a direct line to the White House.

This first round will deal with the economy. Americans deserve to know what their government is doing to get our economy back on track. But it's up to you to participate and make this experiment a success.

Join the discussion now:

http://whitehouse.gov/OpenForQuestions

Thanks, and remember to check back Thursday to watch the President answer some of your questions live.

Hoyer Statement on Budget Committee Mark-Up

WASHINGTON, DC – House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today as the House Budget Committee considers the FY10 budget resolution:

“The budget resolution before the House Budget Committee today is a solid plan to build on Democratic efforts to restore our nation’s economy. It reflects the four priorities set forward by President Obama in his budget outline earlier this year: cutting the deficit by more than half by 2013, and making strategic investments in health care, energy, and education.

“I want to thank Chairman Spratt and our Members for working together to craft a strong budget that provides a blueprint for future growth. The Blue Dogs worked constructively with the leadership to ensure spending levels provide for investment in national priorities within a fiscally responsible framework. Our budget also respects the concerns of many House Democrats and the American public that we increase investment in areas that have been underfunded in recent years, including veterans, education, and the environment.

“This budget reaffirms our commitment to fiscal responsibility and advances the priorities of the American people, and I look forward to bringing it to the House Floor next week.”

China Military Power Report Released
Wed, 25 Mar 2009 08:13:00 -0500

I'm writing to you now because you have the opportunity to make a big impact on my efforts to bring about a lasting economic recovery.

Today I'm announcing my support for Scott Murphy, candidate for New York's 20th Congressional District.

On Tuesday, March 31st -- just one week away -- voters will have the chance to send Scott to Congress, where we'll work together to get our economy moving in the right direction.

Volunteer this week and help in the final push to send Scott Murphy to Congress.

Scott has the kind of experience and background we desperately need right now in Washington.

He's created jobs by building and growing small businesses while bringing people together to address difficult challenges. He supports the economic recovery plan we've put in place, and I know we can count on him as an ally for change.

To restore our economy and build a foundation for lasting prosperity, I'll need Scott's help. This week, Scott needs yours.

Sign up and pitch in to elect Scott Murphy to Congress:

What you do now can make all the difference as we work in the coming weeks and months to lead our country in a new direction.

Thank you,

President Barack Obama
