Richard Doege ’63 reports: “As Legislative Counsel in the U.S. House of Representatives, I was a staff resource for members of Congress from my home state of Washington. I worked on environment and energy-related legislation, with emphasis on Superfund, endangered species, utility deregulation, conservation lands, fisheries and forest management. In 1999, I took a sabbatical from Congress at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. Over time, my views on environmentalism have changed significantly, with the view that important environmental improvements in the future will derive more from local and regional actions than from federal mandates.

“I have moved to a new think tank that will be active on this frontier. We will focus on facilitating regional efforts to address environmental issues. The institute, affiliated with Harvard and operating in both Cambridge and Washington, seeks federal policies to help regional initiatives through government partnership, collaboration, and assistance. Working in Congress was a wonderful part of my career. I am looking forward to a new challenge and another chance to make a difference for our nation and its global neighbors.”
