WASHINGTON, DC, Mar. 13 -- US Interior Sec. Gale A. Norton will leave her position at the end of March.
Norton, the first woman to take DOI's helm, was sworn in on Jan. 31, 2001, and held the job longer than all but six of her predecessors. She previously was Colorado's attorney general during 1991-99 and had worked at the Department of the Interior as an associate solicitor overseeing endangered species and public lands issues for the National Park Service and Fish and Wildlife Service.
