Draft of Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.'s remarks nominating Governor Warner to serve another term as Chair of the Executive Council, 2003?

DRAFT OF GOV. EHRLICH’S REMARKS NOMINATING GOV. WARNER TO SERVE ANOTHER TERM AS CHAIR OF THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL I would like to take this opportunity to nominate Governor Mark Warner to serve another term as Chair of the Executive Council of the Chesapeake Bay Program. I do so for three important reasons: First, under his leadership, this organization’s has adopted some of the most ambitious water quality goals to date and embarked on revising the strategies for all the Bay’s major tributaries. Next, for the first time, Governor Warner has elevated Chesapeake Bay Program management to a cabinet office in the state of Virginia. Finally, his commitment to regional consultation and cooperation on Chesapeake Bay and other issues ensure that progress will continue. Therefore it is my privilege and honor to nominate Governor Mark Warner to a second term as Chair of the Executive Council.
