摘要:2005 is in the books, and in terms of the climate in Washington,
it was a roller coaster ride. The war, natural disasters, energy
prices, a lobbying scandal, top administration aides in legal
trouble, and numerous other contretemps combined to make
the year one to remember, or forget, depending on your point of
view. There were big doings in the public policy arena, also.
Major legislation approved by Congress and signed into law
included a new energy policy act; reauthorization of the transportation
bill, which contained several provisions important to
historic preservation; and massive aid packages for the victims
of the storms in the Gulf Coast region.
