                             WILLIAM H. FRANK -- Envtl Atty

              7509 Westfield Drive, Bethesda, Maryland 20817
                    Telephone 202 260-5074 (office)
                              301 320-5779 (home)

     My name is William H. Frank, and I am interested in leaving
my position in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a senior
enforcement attorney for a position in the private sector advising
companies on how to comply with environmental laws and how to handle
environmental issues internally.

     I believe I have the experience, the qualifications, and the
talent to make a significant contribution to an organization with
environmental concerns.  I would bring to any organization high-
impact legal and communication skills, the ability to operate
effectively across a variety of functions, the entrepreneurial
will to seize opportunities, and the drive to succeed. I demand
of myself a high degree of integrity and flexibility.

     At present, I am a senior attorney in the Federal Facility
Enforcement Office, which is part of the Office of Enforcement
and Compliance Assurance, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 
In my present capacity, I assist in providing direction and
review of enforcement and compliance activities for air, water,
waste, pesticides, toxic substances, and radiation involving an
estimated 21,000 sites at nearly 2,000 facilities owned or
operated by the Energy and Defense Departments, as well as all
other Federal agencies. 

     Previously, I served as Chief of Staff to Tad McCall, who at
that time was Deputy Assistant Administrator for Federal
Facilities Enforcement and who is now Deputy Assistant Secretary
of the Air Force for Environment and Safety. I came to EPA at the
behest of former Assistant Administrator for Enforcement James M.
Strock as his Director of Communications. Mr. Strock is presently
California's Secretary of the Environment.

     One of my greatest strengths is to visualize and explain
complex legal and technical regulatory issues and to make them
understandable to a more general audience. My superiors have said
of me that I have the ability to discover the synthesizing themes
in policy matters that can bring together apparently diverse
interests in ecumenical solutions. As a negotiator, I have a
talent for finding common ground among competing interests so
that all concerned concur in settlement of difficult issues.
 
     In their appraisals, both Secretary Strock and Deputy
Assitant Secretary McCall said I was "an excellent strategic
thinker." My experience at EPA Headquarters has been in legal
oversight, strategic planning, communications, and coordination
of enforcement and compliance-related policy initiatives. The key
ingredient to federal facility enforcement issues of great
sensitivity is careful coordination with all stakeholders, and I
developed the approaches, rationale, and theory for coordination
of these sensitive issues with successful outcomes for EPA, the
citizens, and the environment.

My resume follows:

                             WILLIAM H. FRANK
