Bush Taps W.Vian For Leadership Post

Shepherdstown resident John Bresland could become the next chairman of the U.S. Chemical Safety Board if the Senate confirms his nomination by President Bush, The Associated Press reports.

Bush first appointed Bresland in 2002 to the five-member board, "responsible for making safety recommendations to the nation’s chemical industry," the AP article said. "It also is charged with investigating major chemical accidents."
