As
a fifteen-year veteran of the U.S. Congress, Pete McCloskey was one
of the lead authors of many of today's major environmental laws. Known
as an outspoken "Teddy Roosevelt" Republican, he was a Co-Chairman
of the first Earth Day in 1970, served six years as Congressional
Delegate to the International Whaling Conference, and was Congressional
Advisor to the Law of the Sea Treaty Delegation. McCloskey gained
international attention for making the first House of Representatives
speech calling for the impeachment of President Richard Nixon for
obstruction of justice, and he ran for the Presidency in 1972 challenging
Nixon's Vietnam War policies. He has taught Legal Ethics and Political
Science at both Stanford and Santa Clara Universities, and has served
as a Trustee for the Monterey Institute of International Studies and
Population Action International. He speaks on law and bare knuckles
environmental politics from the point of view of a seasoned veteran,
and he expresses his strong concern about the state of the global
environment and about our nation's "backsliding" in the
struggle to protect it.
