PTSP Home Annual Retreat Reports Introduction Michelle Woodward ... Adjourn University of Colorado President's Teaching Scholars Program Spring 2001 Retreat Report Bill Richardson Shea then introduced Bill Richardson, Vice President and General Manager with SUN Educational Services, who gave SUN's perspective on the day's topic. He explained that SUN Microsystems had moved its headquarters to Broomfield four years ago in part because the company wanted to be in a place where the work force would be well-educated. SUN considered relocating to Austin, Boston, the Silicon Valley in California and to Boulder. The presence of the University was an important factor in the decision to come to Boulder, he said. "A couple other reasons might be the skiing and the quality of life here," he added. Richardson noted that an educated work force is important to the company because currently the industry is experiencing a 10 percent shortage in trained information technology workers. Higher education is producing more, but the need for IT professionals is growing faster, he said. Richardson then described how SUN Educational Services operates. SUN's tag line was "the network is the computer," he said, and it was an Internet of computers. "Now we are looking at an Internet of embedded CPUs," he said, with people connecting through cell phones, palm pilots and laptops anywhere. The tag line has changed to "the computer is the network."

BOB MILLER Governor STATE OF NEVADA EXECUTIVE CHAMBER Capitol Complex Carson City, Nevada 89710 TELEPHONE Fax: (702) 687-4486 December 4, 1998 The Honorable Bill Richardson Secretary of Energy 1000 Independence Avenue SW Washington, D.C. 20585 Dear Secretary Richardson: I concluded my November 14, 1989 letter as follows: "In light of your responsibilities as the federal official charged by law with implementation of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act and prudent administration of the ratepayer-funded Nuclear Waste Fund, I believe you are compelled now to exercise your duty under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act and inform the Congress, and the Governor and Legislature of Nevada, that you have removed the Yucca Mountain site from further consideration as a high-level nuclear waste repository." Secretary Watkins' response, in essence, was that any conclusions about the suitability of the Yucca Mountain site for development as a repository were premature, pending completion of detailed site characterization. Now, nine years later, with site characterization data collection said to be nearly complete, I reiterate: The Yucca Mountain site is not suitable for development as a high-level nuclear waste repository. It should be immediately removed from consideration for a repository because it meets the conditions of the Department's guidelines for disqualification with respect to the rapid flow of groundwater from the proposed repository to the adjacent environment. (Rapid groundwater travel time also is noted in the most recent [November 1998] report to you and Congress from the Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board.) According to the Department's site selection guidelines, the existence or likely existence, whenever discovered, of a disqualifying condition requires that the Secretary immediately disqualify the site.

Welcome to our game! Judith Levine Elmurod Yunusov Character Profile: Bill Richardson Secretary of Department of Energy The U.S. Senate swore in Bill Richardson as the Secretary of Energy on August 18, 1998 following his confirmation. Upon nominating Richardson to the energy post, President Clinton remarked, "If there's one word that comes to mind when I think of Bill Richardson, it really is energy." Richardson is the top "energy man" in the US. His department controls all military nuclear stockpiles and the research related to them. He is the main negotiator with the OPEC countries on behalf of the United States. IN his short term in office, Richardson has beefed up national nuclear security within the entire Department of Energy (DOE). He has also implemented a series of oil and gas initiatives to increase domestic production, this is very important to lessen the US dependence on imported oil. Richardson has a strong background and good experience in foreign affairs. From February 13, 1997 to September 10, 1998, he was the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations. While he was in that position, he dealt with many international conflicts and problems and emerged as an unofficial diplomatic troubleshooter. Richardson worked to free political prisoners in Iraq, Sudan, Cuba, and North Korea. He also worked extensively with Congress to get out legislation to pay the US debt to the UN. As a member of the national Security Council, he helped to develop American policy on Iraq's refusal to comply with UN resolutions. Richardson was President Clinton's special envoy on many sensitive diplomatic missions to the countries like Bangladesh, Burma, Cuba, Iraq, North Korea and Sudan.

For Immediate Release: January 17, 2001 Contact: Aine Cryts Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson to Teach at Kennedy School CAMBRIDGE, Mass – U.S. Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson will teach a course at Harvard's John F.

76. An Open Letter To Secretary Of Energy Bill Richardson On 2 September 1999, I sent the following message to Secretary of Energy bill Richardsonand the directors of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Sandia http://www.humnet.ucla.edu/people/maschke/open_letter_to_DOE.html

On 2 September 1999, I sent the following message to Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson and the directors of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Mr. Richardson never replied. Nor did any of the lab directors. Since the time I wrote this letter, it has become publicly known that the polygraph screening format to be used by the Department of Energy is not the "probable-lie control" Counterintelligence Scope Polygraph test suggested by DOE in The Federal Register, but the "directed-lie" Test for Espionage and Sabotage. For a critique of this polygraph screening format, see "The Lying Game: National Security and the Test for Espionage and Sabotage" DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 1000 INDEPENDENCE AVE SW WASHINGTON DC 20585 Dear Secretary Richardson: I urge you to rescind your proposed polygraph rules and to use your discretionary authority to halt all polygraph screening of Department of Energy and contractor employees. In your notice of proposed rule-making and public hearings regarding polygraph policy dated Aug. 18, 1999, you invite the public to "comment on the balance [you have] struck in [your] proposal between legitimate national security interests and regulatory limitations to protect employees from inappropriate or imprudent use of polygraph examinations and the results of such examinations." Your proposed rules fail to protect both national security interests and employees. While you may indeed have struck some sort of "balance" by failing on both scores, I hope to convince you that your proposed rules are unwise and that you should not implement them. Your decision to rely on Counterintelligence Scope Polygraph (CSP) exams fails to protect our national laboratories from espionage because such polygraph screening is without validity. As Dr. Drew C. Richardson of the FBI Laboratory testified regarding polygraph screening before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary in 1997 (

Contact: Sharon Kerrick Outreach Department skerrick@ans.org ANS Comments to Secretary Bill Richardson on Restart of Fast Flux Test Facility LaGrange Park, IL-The American Nuclear Society has issued a statement in support of the restart of the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) if it does not affect the funding of other future looking nuclear energy programs. A letter from ANS President Andy Kadak was sent to Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson outlining the ANS position. In his letter, ANS President Kadak stated that a major concern "is based on the high degree of difficulty in obtaining even the small amount of money recommended by the President's Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) for the Nuclear Energy Research Initiative (NERI) and to continue to provide the needed support for our university research reactors." President Kadak also stated that "if nuclear energy is to continue to make a contribution to this nation's energy supply, we must look to the future and create a vision and opportunity for young people to come into the field." ANS supports NERAC recommendation that a restart of the FFTF should be made in the context of a "long-term strategy in Nuclear Energy." ANS thinks it is vitally important "to develop an integrated nuclear energy plan to include all research, development, and deployment missions." PCAST also supports this position. A copy of the complete letter is attached.

Richardson criticized the President's proposals for shortchanging conservation while advancing plans for increased production, most notably the controversial idea of drilling for oil in the Arctic National Reserve. "Republicans need to recognize that conservation is not just for sissies," Richardson said, describing the proposal as placing too much emphasis on increasing supply and production and devoting too little to conservation. "I've heard people say that the caribou like pipelines. I don't know about that, I've never asked them. I just think there are some places we should stay out of." Still, the former Clinton cabinet officer agreed that new domestic sources for production and distribution are vitally needed.

The passage into law of this bill is a huge victory for state workers who will now be able to negotiate for better wages, benefits and working conditions. Passage of the law marks an important step for state employees. Thousands of workers across New Mexico are now joining with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Council 18 as the next step in their march toward securing a strong and binding contract. Issues of top concern to many state employees include, participation in decision-making, fair grievance procedures, workplace safety, affordable health insurance and ending favoritism in hiring and promotions. "This collective bargaining law is just the beginning. We have taken the first step. Our next step is to unite and organize a powerful union so that we can go to the bargaining table and negotiate a strong contract that will end favoritism in the workplace and give us the wages, rights and respect we deserve," stated Ernie Padilla, an equal opportunity investigator with the Highway Department.

Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson to Deliver Commencement Address by Carrie Richards Senior editor of The Acorn The Drew community is used to having a high-ranking political figure on campus much of the time. But University President Tom Kean will have some competition on May 20 when Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson delivers the commencement address to the class of 2000. Richardson, whom Kean described as “one of the hottest commencement speakers. As head of the Department of Energy , Richardson has lately been immersed in talks with the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in an attempt to get those nations to increase their level of oil production. Recently, the Department of Energy estimated regular fuel will be 13 cents less per gallon by September and nearly 10 cents less by the summer, due to OPEC’s step-up in oil output. Richardson has also been credited with providing incentives for domestic oil producers, enacting programs — in cooperation with Russia — to hasten nuclear nonproliferation and aid communication in times of nuclear or environmental crisis. He is also credited with making the Department of Energy more efficient.
