<b>1981 July 15</b> A letter shows that staff from the tobacco industry's contractor '''Arthur D Little''' had a meeting with [[Joseph A Cannon]] at the EPA. He was then the '''Assistant for Regulatory Reform'''. They were dealing with the PSD requirement: they wanted a "grandfathering" clause that would exclude from EPA control any of the older plants.
President Reagan had just issued a new Executive Order requiring a Regulatory Impact Analysis before the EPA took action on polluters. <blockquote><I> Joe Cannon seemed very optimistic about the prospects of the Reagan Administration being able to push its Clean Air Bill through the Congress this year. We questioned him pretty strongly about this, but he remained unshaken.[https://www.industrydocumentslibrary.ucsf.edu/tobacco/docs/rmwl0041] </I></blockquote>

<b>1982 June</b> ''Environmental Health Letters'' reports that: <blockquote><I>EPA is going through a series of top-level management shifts, partly—but not entirely—resulting from the withdrawal of the nomination of Denver lawyer [[James Sanderson]] for the post of Assistant Administrator for Policy and Resource Management, the No. 3 post in the agency (behind Administrator [[Anne M. Gorsuch]] and Deputy Administrator [[John Herhandez]]).
Immediately after withdrawal of the Sanderson nomination, EPA appointed [[Joseph A. Cannon]] as Associate Administrator for Policy and Resource Management, where he has been acting since last September. It should be noted that the post of Associate Administrator does not require Senate confirmation; Assistant Administrator, for which Sanderson was to be nominated, does require it. <font color=green>
: Sanderson was an attorney representing [[Chemical Waste Management]], the Denver Water Board, and other clients including Chevron Shale Oil, Snowmass and [[Adolph Coors]] Co., while simultaneously serving as a paid Special Assistant/advisor to EPA Administrator Anne Gorsuch. The EPA was dealing with the Colorado Water Quality Standards issue at that time, and she must have been aware of his lobbying work.</font>[http://pwp.lincs.net/sanjour/Revolving.htm] [http://industrydocuments.library.ucsf.edu/tobacco/docs/qqpd0051]
{The) EPA sought to avoid the Sanderson flap by asking the White House to nominate [[John Daniel]], now chief of staff at EPA (which does not require Senate confirmation) to the post of Assistant Administrator, for which he presumably would have no trouble being confirmed. Then, according to our sources, Sanderson would be appointed to Daniel's post. The White House is understood to have rejected the plan.
Cannon will be responsible for policy analysis, regulatory reform, the budget, standards, regulations and management systems and evaluation. Cannon, 32, served in two Washington law firms before joining EPA in May 1981 as special assistant to the Administrator,</i>[http://industrydocuments.library.ucsf.edu/tobacco/docs/qqpd0051]</blockquote>
