more info on USDA, Interior, and EPA transition teams

[Muttocracy]

From an email list I'm on, not sure about the original source, but some interesting details:

Members of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA),
U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), and U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) transition
teams for President-Elect Barack Obama have been
announced. Overseeing the efforts of all three transition
teams is David Hayes, chair of the Environment, Land
and Resources department at the law firm Latham and
Watkins. Hayes served as Deputy Secretary at DOI
during the Clinton Administration.

Chosen to lead transition efforts at USDA are Bart
Chilton, currently a commissioner with the Commodities
Futures Trading Commission, and Carole Jett, a former
NRCS employee. Chilton has previously served with the
Farm Credit Administration and was deputy chief of staff
to Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman in the Clinton
Administration, government relations staff for National
Farmers Union and an advisor to Senator Tom Daschle
(D-SD). Jett recently retired from NRCS after a 33-year
career with the agency. In her most recent capacity with
NRCS, she served as National Farm Bill Coordinator
where she oversaw the agency's efforts on the 2002
and 2008 Farm Bills.

Leading transition efforts at DOI are Keith Harper and John
Leshy. Harper is a member of the Cherokee Nation of
Oklahoma and practices Native American law with the firm
Kilpatrick Stockton. Leshy is a law professor at the
University of California, previously served as staff on the
House Natural Resources Committee and was a member
of the DOI transition team for the Clinton administration.

And leading efforts at EPA are Cecilia Estolano, Lisa
Jackson, and Robert Sussman. Estolano is currently
CEO of the Community Redevelopment Agency of Los
Angeles and has previously served as staff advisor on
air and radiation at EPA. Jackson is Commissioner of the
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and
previously managed Superfund in EPA's New York regional
office. Sussman is a Senior Fellow at the Center for
American Progress and previously served as Deputy
Administrator at EPA from 1993-1994.
