"Council on Environmental Quality nominee Kathleen Hartnett White, one of the White House's most controversial staffing choices, may be stuck in the Senate.

White cleared the Environment and Public Works Committee last year on a party-line vote, but strong Democratic opposition meant the White House had to renominate her this month. And her problem is not only with Democrats.

EPW Chairman John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) was cautious when addressing White this week. "We'll come back to committee, and we'll get her up for a vote again," he told E&E News."
