But Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer of California said Horinko has been the point person in EPA's refusal to respond to lawmakers' questions about Bush's environmental programs. "It is disappointing, but not surprising, that this administration would choose an individual to head the EPA who has spent the last two years stonewalling Congress," Boxer said.
Horinko supervised the on-scene emergency coordinators who were sent to help assess the environmental health risks and cleanup after the World Trade Center collapse in New York, where the debris left thousands complaining of lung, ear, nose and throat problems.
She also directed EPA's three-month decontamination of Capitol Hill offices and examination of 10,000 samples from 26 buildings after the anthrax attack of October 2001. It stemmed from an anthrax-laced letter opened in the office of then-Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D.
And earlier this year, emergency responders from her office played a leading role in the search and recovery of debris that could provide clues to what caused the space shuttle Columbia's destruction.
Before her current job at the EPA, Horinko was president of Clay Associates Inc., a public policy firm that deals with hazardous waste issues. From 1989 to 1993, she worked as a legal adviser in the EPA office she now supervises.
Johnson is a career EPA employee who has held several top-level jobs in the agency.
