29 Seton Hall L. Rev. 18 (1998-1999)
Remarks by Senator Robert Torricelli at Seton Hall University School of Law

handle is hein.journals/shlr29 and id is 28 raw text is: Remarks by Senator Robert Torricelli at Seton Hall University School of Lawt Let me start by thanking not only the Dean but Professor Poir- ier and Professor Gorman for giving me this opportunity today, as well as a couple of other people: Lillian Barone who is the Director of the Port for the Port Authority, one of the great public officials that I've worked with in my career who is directly responsible for, in my judgment, the cleaning, the salvation, and the economic vitality of the Port of New York; Ed Lloyd who was from the Rutgers' Envi- ronmental Clinic;Jessica Lerner who was a student of this law school, but more than that, has been very high standing in life, who was a former intern in my office in Washington (I am the only person in Washington still introducing their interns and I am pleased to do so); Ella Filippone who is on the Passaic River Coalition, who has been a driving force in cleaning the Passaic River through these years, mostly by driving those of us in public life nuts, but it is a strat- egy that has worked, and her work has been tremendous. There is another person to mention who has done such a tremendous job. I can honestly say that if there is one individual, without whom the dumping of oils and dredge spills in the Atlantic Ocean would not have stopped, it is Cindy Zipf. She is directly responsible for stop- ping the dumping in the oceans. And finally, to Andy Willner from New York/New Jersey Baykeepers, who is also a critical part of that coalition and we are very proud of his work. I looked forward to this today not only because it is a chance, after all these years, to come back to this law school knowing that no professor is in a position to directly attack me, question me, or as- sault me and to be on the other side of the podium, but because it is an interesting program in which to share some perspective on the environmental movement in our country at what really is a critical time of redefinition of the environmental movement itself. This movement has gone through so many phases in the twentieth cen- tury, beginning with Theodore Roosevelt's observation in 1910 that conservation policy and the quality of rural life cannot be separated. t This keynote address was delivered at the Environmental Symposium held on March 30, 1998, at the Seton Hall University School of Law.
