A  Letter From the Director
As the new director of the Executive Office for United States Attorneys, I am pleased to present
this edition of the United States Attorneys' Bulletin. In the six months of my service as EOUSA
director, I have met and spoken with many hardworking, highly-dedicated Assistant United
States Attorneys who strive every day to carry out the mission of their offices in an effective yet
even-handed way.  I have been tremendously impressed by the high quality and the wide
variety of the litigation pursued in our 94 United States Attorneys' Offices. As EOUSA
director, it is my job to insure that you have all the tools - both legal and technical - that you
need to do your job in the most productive way possible. I hope that you find the Bulletin to be
one of the many resources that you can use to perform your important litigation tasks more
efficiently.
This edition, which examines natural resources, is the second in a two-part series focusing on
environmental issues. As an Assistant United States Attorney, I appreciate the often complex
and time-consuming litigation - both civil and criminal - that arises from environmental
issues and real-life events. Those who work in this area should be proud of their critical roles
in the protection and preservation of the environmental quality of our surroundings and are to
be congratulated on their successful efforts.
I wish to thank Assistant Attorney General Lois Schiffer and all of the contributors from the
Environment  and Natural Resources Division who have thoughtfully committed their insights
and guidance to paper, making this edition of the United States Attorneys' Bulletin a most
valuable and informative resource.
Sincerely,


Mary  H. Murguia
