Political career
The Senate
The younger Baker began his own political career in 1964, when he lost an election to fill the unexpired
term of the late Senator Estes Kefauver to the liberal Democrat Ross Bass. In the 1966 Senate election,
Bass lost the Democratic primary to former Governor Frank G. Clement. In the general election, Baker
capitalized on Clement's failure to energize the Democratic base, specifically Tennessee labor, and won.
He thus became the first elected Republican senator from Tennessee since Reconstruction. (Newell
Sanders, a Republican who represented Tennessee in the U.S. Senate from 1912 to 1913, had been
appointed by Republican Governor Ben W. Hooper when Democrat Robert Love Taylor died in office.)
[1]
In 1971, President Richard Nixon asked Baker to fill one of two empty seats on the U.S. Supreme Court.
[2] When Baker took too long to decide whether he wanted the appointment or not, Nixon changed his
mind and decided to nominate William Rehnquist instead.[3]
[3]
Baker was re-elected in 1972 and again in 1978, and served from
,
January 3, 1967, to January 3, 1985. For the last eight of those years,
y , , y , g y
he led the Senate Republicans, with two terms as Senate Minority
p , y
Leader ( (1977–1981) and two terms as Senate Majority Leader (
) j y (1981–
1985). Baker was also the influential ranking minority member of the
) g y
Senate committee, chaired by Senator Sam Ervin, that investigated the
, y , g
Watergate scandal. He is famous for having asked aloud, "What did the
g g ,
President know and when did he know it?", a q
, question g given him to ask
by his counsel and former campaign manager, future U.S. Senator Fred
y
Thompson.
Baker was frequently mentioned by insiders as p
q y y possible nominee for
Vice President of the United States on a ticket headed by incumbent
y
President Gerald Ford in 1976 and, according to many sources, a front-
, g y ,
Senator Baker runner for this p
post. Ford, however, in a surprising move, chose Kansas
Senator Bob Dole.[4]
Baker ran for President in 1980, dropping out of the race for the GOP nomination after losing the Iowa
caucuses to George H.W. Bush and the New Hampshire Primary to Ronald Reagan. Baker's duties as
Senate Minority Leader prevented him from campaigning heavily in these important early test races.

However, as a testament to his skill as a negotiator and honest and amiable broker, Reagan tapped him
to serve as Chief of Staff during p of his second term (
g part ) y
(1987–1988). Many saw this as a move to mend
, p ,
relations with the Senate, which had deteriorated somewhat under the previous Chief of Staff, Donald
Regan. (Baker had complained that Regan had become a too-powerful "Prime Minister" inside an
g ( p g p
increasingly complex Imperial Presidency.) In accepting this appointment, Baker chose to skip another
bid for the White House in 1988.[5]
In 2001, the Howard H. Baker, Jr. Center for Public Policy was set up at the University of Tennessee in
honor of the former senator. Vice President Dick Cheney gave a speech at the 2005 ground-breaking
ceremony for the Center's new building.
Baker is currently Senior Counsel to the law firm of Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz.

policy. Baker also holds a seat on the board of the International Foundation for Electoral Systems', a

Personal life
Baker has been married to the daughters of two prominent
Republicans. Since 1996 he has been married to former U.S.
Senator Nancy Landon Kassebaum, the daughter of the late Kansas
Governor Alfred M. Landon, who was the Republican nominee for
President in 1936. Baker's late first wife, Joy, who died of cancer,
was the daughter of former Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen.

9. Appendices

10. Letter from the Sponsoring Organizations
The initiative for a bipartisan, independent, forward-looking “fresh-eyes” assessment of Iraq
emerged from conversations U.S. House Appropriations Committee Member Frank Wolf had
with us. In late 2005, Congressman Wolf asked the United States Institute of Peace, a bipartisan
federal entity, to facilitate the assessment, in collaboration with the James A. Baker III Institute
for Public Policy at Rice University, the Center for the Study of the Presidency, and the Center
for Strategic and International Studies.
Interested members of Congress, in consultation with the sponsoring organizations and the
administration, agreed that former Republican U.S. Secretary of State James A. Baker, III and
former Democratic Congressman Lee H. Hamilton had the breadth of knowledge of foreign affairs
required to co-chair this bipartisan effort. The co-chairs subsequently selected the other members
of the bipartisan Iraq Study Group, all senior individuals with distinguished records of public
service. Democrats included former Secretary of Defense William J. Perry, former Governor and
U.S. Senator Charles S. Robb, former Congressman and White House chief of staff Leon E.
Panetta, and Vernon E. Jordan, Jr., advisor to President Bill Clinton. Republicans included
former Associate Justice to the U.S. Supreme Court Sandra Day O’Connor, former U.S. Senator
Alan K. Simpson, former Attorney General Edwin Meese III, and former Secretary of State
Lawrence S. Eagleburger. Former CIA Director Robert Gates was an active member for a period
of months until his nomination as Secretary of Defense.
The Iraq Study Group was launched on March 15, 2006, in a Capitol Hill meeting hosted
by U.S. Senator John Warner and attended by congressional leaders from both sides of the aisle.
To support the Study Group, the sponsoring organizations created four expert working
groups consisting of 44 leading foreign policy analysts and specialists on Iraq. The working
groups, led by staff of the United States Institute of Peace, focused on the Strategic Environment,
Military and Security Issues, Political Development, and the Economy and Reconstruction.
Every effort was made to ensure the participation of experts across a wide span of the political
spectrum. Additionally, a panel of retired military officers was consulted.
We are grateful to all those who have assisted the Study Group, especially the supporting
experts and staff. Our thanks go to Daniel P. Serwer of the Institute of Peace, who served as
executive director; Christopher Kojm, advisor to the Study Group; John Williams, Policy
Assistant to Mr. Baker; and Ben Rhodes, Special Assistant to Mr. Hamilton.

The Honorable Patrick Leahy, Chairman
Senate Committee on the Judiciary
United States Senate

Washington, DC 20510
RE: Letters in support of Mr. Puryear's nomination from David Randolph Smith,
Thurgood Marshall Jr., Wallace W. Dietz, Michael L. Dagley, Jonathon Cole,
Gary C. Shockley, Robert J. Walker, Hannah K.V. Cassidy, James F. Sanders
and Lisa Ramsey Cole
Dear Chairman Leahy:
According to a recent news report, there has been a "renewed public relations push highlighting
the support" of both Democrats and Republicans who have endorsed the pending nomination of
Mr. Gustavus A. Puryear IV.
These supporters include attorneys with the firms of Bass Berry & Sims, Baker Donelson et al.,
Neal & Harwell, Walker Tipps and Malone, and Lewis King Krieg & Waldrop, as well as CCA
Board member Thurgood Marshall, Jr. and plaintiff's attorney David Randolph Smith.
Frankly it is good to see bipartisan support for any nominee. I am of the personal opinion that
partisan politics should play no part in the selection of judicial candidates, whose nominations
should be based primarily on qualifications, experience and fitness for a lifetime appointment to
the federal bench. Those who support Mr. Puryear, however, tend to share financial, political
and/or professional relationships with his employer, Corrections Corp. of America (CCA).
Wallace W. Dietz and Michael L. Dagley, of Bass Berry & Sims, have endorsed Mr. Puryear's
nomination. Bass Berry & Sims lists CCA among the firm's clients, and has represented CCA in
connection with public securities offerings. The firm hired former CCA senior director Leslie
Hafter to head its lobbying efforts. Also, Bass Berry & Sims partner Lee Barfield II is a brother-
in-law of former Senator Bill Frist, who employed Mr. Puryear as his legislative director.

Gary C. Shockley and Jonathon Cole of Baker Donelson, et al. have submitted letters in support
of Mr. Puryear's nomination. Baker Donelson represents CCA as a client. Representatives from
p
both CCA and Baker Donelson sit on the boards of Bethlehem Centers and You Have the Power,
d
two Nashville non-profit agencies. The law firm, which includes former Senator Howard Baker,
p
Jr. as senior counsel, also has strong connections with Senator Lamar Alexander – in fact, Baker
counsel, g
Donelson is listed as Sen. Alexander's 4th largest campaign contributor from 2003-2008. CCA
n g p g
was the Senator's second largest contributor over the same period of time. Senator Alexander in
g p
turn has very strong connections with CCA that go back over 20 years, including a longstanding
y g g y , g g
relationship with CCA co-founder Tom Beasley, who once served as his campaign manager.
Robert J. Walker, a partner with Walker Tipps and Malone, has endorsed Mr. Puryear. Walker
Tipps and Malone has represented CCA as a client, including in the Estelle Richardson lawsuit
as well as securities litigation. It was another partner at the firm, J. Mark Tipps, formerly with
Bass Berry & Sims, who recruited Mr. Puryear to work for then-Senator Fred Thompson. Mr.
Tipps later recommended Mr. Puryear to then-Senator Bill Frist and subsequently introduced
Mr. Puryear to CCA CEO John Ferguson, who hired him as CCA's general counsel. Both Mr.
Puryear and a Walker Tipps and Malone attorney serve on the board of the Exchange Club.
Hannah K.V. Cassidy, of Reno & Cavanaugh, is supportive of Mr. Puryear. According to the
D.C. office of Reno & Cavanaugh, the firm represents CCA as a client. Until several months ago
Ms. Cassidy was a partner at Stites & Harbison, and knew Mr. Puryear from his employment at
that firm in the 1990's. CCA is listed as a client of Stites & Harbison. Another former partner at
the firm, Steve Groom, currently serves as CCA's deputy general counsel. Stites & Harbison and
CCA both have representatives who serve on the board of CASA, a Nashville non-profit.
Attorney James F. Sanders of Neal & Harwell provided the Committee with a supportive letter
on February 26. As noted in his correspondence, Mr. Sanders represented CCA in the Estelle
Richardson lawsuit. Additionally, Neal & Harwell and CCA both have representatives on the
advisory board of the Nashville chapter of the Salvation Army.
Lisa Ramsey Cole of Lewis King Krieg & Waldrop has sent a letter to the Committee in support
of Mr. Puryear. CCA is a client of Lewis King; further, the firm has a representative on the board
of Love Helps Inc., a Nashville-based non-profit that receives financial support from CCA.

In regard to Thurgood Marshall, Jr., who also has endorsed Mr. Puryear's judicial nomination,
Mr. Marshall joined CCA's board of directors in 2002. According to SEC filings, as of August
2007 he owned 7,000 shares of CCA stock either directly or through options to purchase. He
thus has a substantial financial stake in CCA's continued success and, of course, has a duty as
a board member to be supportive of the company and its officers, including Mr. Puryear.
I am sure that the persons discussed above, who have expressed support for Mr. Puryear, have
a genuine liking for him both personally and professionally as indicated in their correspondence.
However, to the extent that they all also have interconnected professional, financial or business
ties with CCA, including paid client relationships, their support of Mr. Puryear, which serves to
strengthen those ties, should be taken into consideration by the Committee members.
Further, much has been made of a letter sent to the Committee by David Randolph Smith, the
plaintiff's attorney in a lawsuit filed against CCA by Estelle Richardson's family. Mr. Smith, a
Democrat, strongly endorsed Mr. Puryear's nomination; further, Mr. Puryear cited Mr. Smith's
comments in his written answers submitted to the Committee.
I spoke with Mr. Smith last February and we had a candid conversation as to why he wrote his
letter. As that was a private discussion, until recently I have not disclosed Mr. Smith's underlying
motivation as it was relayed by him to me. In fact, when PCI provided the Judiciary Committee
with its Response to Mr. Puryear's written answers in a March 7 letter, I stated as follows:
"Mr. Puryear cited a letter from David Randolph Smith, one of the attorneys who
represented Ms. Richardson's family in the lawsuit against CCA. I spoke with Mr.
Smith and he related to me the underlying reasons why he sent his letter to the
Committee. I am not at liberty to disclose those reasons as communicated to me
during our private conversation; it is up to Mr. Smith to inform the Committee as
to the true motivation behind his letter."
On April 10, the Nashville City Paper, a free local daily, published an article which cited Mr.
Smith's letter and, based on an interview, quoted his stated reasons for endorsing Mr. Puryear's
nomination. As Mr. Smith went on the record, I am now free to do so myself.

In my conversation with Mr. Smith, he stated to me – twice – that he supported Mr. Puryear's
nomination because he did not want a "right-wing religious nutjob" confirmed in his stead. He
felt that Mr. Puryear was more of a moderate and feared who might be endorsed by Tennessee's
Republican Senators if Mr. Puryear was not confirmed. Mr. Smith made it clear to me that he
preferred not to have a Republican judicial nominee period, but that Mr. Puryear was the least
objectionable candidate.
Mr. Smith has acknowledged that he used the phrase mentioned above – which was, in part, a
motivating factor for the letter he sent to the Committee – in an on-the-record conversation with
the managing editor of the Nashville Scene, an independent local weekly publication. Mr. Smith
further stated that he liked Mr. Puryear both personally and professionally.
Certainly, the Committee members should look at the totality of the statements and evidence
they have received relative to Mr. Puryear's nomination, and weigh it accordingly. In order to
do so with accuracy, I believe the information presented in this letter will be helpful.
Sincerely,
Alex Friedmann

President Obama nominates David Michaels to lead
OSHA
Alert
Search
by Mary LeAnn Mynatt
July 31, 2009
On July 28, the White House announced that President Obama had selected epidemiologist David
Michaels, Ph.D, MPH, to head OSHA as Assistant Secretary of Labor. Mr. Michaels must be
confirmed by the Senate. He has prior government experience, serving as the Department of
Energy Assistant Secretary for Environment, Safety and Health during the Clinton Administration.
One of his achievements at DOE was to aid the passage of the Energy Employees Occupational
Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000, designed to compensate nuclear weapons workers who
developed illnesses as a result of exposure to radiation and chemicals in the workplace.
Dr. Michaels is currently a research professor and interim chair of the Department of Environmental
and Occupational Health at the George Washington University School of Public Health and Health
Services. There, his work includes studying the health effects of occupational exposure to toxic
chemicals, including asbestos, metals, and solvents. In testimony before a Senate committee in
2007, Michaels expressed concern about several issues, including the underreporting of workplace
injuries and illnesses, lack of new standards promulgated by OSHA, insufficient use of OSHA's
General Duty Clause as an enforcement tool, and the outdated health standards still in place. Mr.
Michaels' nomination has been hailed by Democrats. U.S. Representative George Miller (D-Cal.)
stated that Mr. Michaels will help OSHA "restore vital health and safety protections for America's
workers."
Dr. Michael's nomination comes at a particularly pivotal time for OSHA. Perhaps more so than at
any time since its creation in April 1971, labor and Democratic leaders are clamoring to enhance
enforcement and increase the promulgation of new regulations concerning workplace standards.
The proposed Protecting America's Workers Act (HR 2067) would, among other things, expand
OSHA's coverage to include more workers. It would also allow felony prosecutions against
employers under certain conditions, raise civil penalties, and set mandatory minimum penalties for
violations resulting in death. Following eight years of relative quiet - fewer OSHA regulations were
promulgated under the Bush Administration than any other president - such changes would
reinvigorate the agency. As a result, there's a backlog of initiatives to track, including combustible
dust, diacetyl, new health standards, and a possible resurrection of the ergonomics standard.
Representative Lynn Woolsey (D-Cal.) stated that OSHA will be able to "issue long overdue safety
standards and bring back more vigorous enforcement of workplace safety and health standards."
Given the renewed emphasis on workplace conditions, employers should pay strict attention to
matters that could be deemed administrative in nature, such as properly maintaining OSHA 300
Logs for Injuries and Illnesses. In addition, during this economic downtown, disgruntled ex-
employees may be even more prone to claiming retaliatory discharge following allegations of health
and safety violations in the workplace. Employers should also expect more OSHA attention and
resources devoted to inspections and enforcement. OSHA routinely tracks not only the number of
inspections but those that result in of citations, with a goal of issuing a citation with every
inspection. Finally, employers should carefully evaluate their workplaces for hazards, regardless of
whether a specific regulation addresses a particular hazard, given Dr. Michaels's stated desire to
increase the use of the General Duty Clause as an enforcement tool.

safety teams, safety departments and line employees, and have advised clients, including an

sector organization in Lima, Peru that are subject to the buyer obtaining financing and other conditions.
There is no certainty that these contracts will be consummated. One is for composite structures, the other
to be fabricated from metal. The first contract is for a minimum of 36,000 basic structural units over three
years, utilizing composite material, and a minimum sales value of $67.5 million. The second contract is to
purchase 22 million square feet of the metal system over a year for a total of $121 million. The Export-
Import Bank of the US expressed interest in financing the two contracts. Daedalus staff visited Peru and
planning continues a pace toward commencement of production and for support from government users,
banks, and local officials. In addition to the foregoing, Daedalus has a letter of intent from an Argentinean

Daedalus is currently negotiating contracts to construct basic shelter and low-cost housing in various

Ducks Unlimited Mourns the Loss of a
Conservation Leader
The Ducks Unlimited family mourns the untimely passing of a paragon of conservation,
and our friend, Jim Range.
Jim Range was a strong and accomplished proponent of countless conservation initiatives
especially, but not exclusively focusing on public policy work. His commitment to wetlands and
waterfowl habitat was legendary. He served as Secretary on the Ducks Unlimited Board of
Directors, was a major donor, a charter member of the Ducks Unlimited Feather Society, and was
the co-founder of the Ducks Unlimited Federal City Chapter – the first and only Ducks Unlimited
chapter in Washington, D.C.
Jim was also an active supporter of Ducks
Unlimited’s Wetlands America Trust, where
he served on the Board of Directors from
1993-1998 and again from 2000-2006. He
served as Secretary of that Board from
1995-1998.
Jim was involved in the leadership of many
other conservation organizations, most
notably as founder and Chairman of the
Board of the Theodore Roosevelt
Conservation Partnership.
In his professional life, Jim was a Senior
Legislative Policy advisor for Baker,
Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell and Berkowitz
law firm, where he specialized in
conservation advocacy and environmental,
regulatory, and legislative policy. Earlier in
his career on Capitol Hill, Jim was
instrumental in the creation or
reauthorization of many of the nation’s
most important and notable conservation
laws.
Fittingly, a memorial service for Jim will be
held in Washington, D.C. at an area he liked
to frequent on the Potomac River, one of his
favorite pastimes while in Washington.
Please join us in remembrance and appreciation for a staunch advocate for, and friend of waterfowl,
waterfowlers and wildlife.
We pass appreciation for the life and work of Jim, along with our sympathies to his family.

James D. Range Obituary
James D. Range, 63, died peacefully, surrounded by family and loved ones, on Tuesday, January 20
at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota after an extraordinarily courageous battle with kidney
cancer.
Range was one of the nation’s most prominent champions of natural resource conservation. He was
known in Washington and throughout the United States as a skilled policy strategist with an
extraordinary bipartisan network of friends and contacts. Along with his political adeptness, he
possessed an oratorical gift and was known as someone who always spoke from his heart with
passionate conviction. A life-long outdoorsman, Range was instrumental in the conservation and
continued protection of many different corners of the American landscape and was a passionate
advocate for the country’s fish and wildlife and their habitat. Perhaps best known as a long-time
advisor to former Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker, he also was known personally to countless
people as a beloved confidant, friend and mentor.
http://www.ducks.org/news/1731/DucksUnlimitedMourns.html 11/18/2009

24. Ducks Unlimited Mourns the Loss of a Conservation Leader Page 2 of 3
At the time of his death, Range worked as senior policy advisor in the law firm of Baker, Donelson,
Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz and served as Chairman of the Board of the Theodore Roosevelt
Conservation Partnership, an organization he co-founded in 2002. He was instrumental in the
founding of the Bipartisan Policy Center and worked as an advisor to that organization.
Mr. Range was chief counsel to Senator Baker during the period between 1980 and 1984 when the
senator served as Majority Leader. From 1973 to 1980, Range served as minority counsel to the
U.S. Senate's Committee on the Environment and Public Works. He was counsel to the National
Commission on Water Quality in 1972.
From 1984 through 1992, Range worked as Vice President of Government Affairs for Waste
Management, Inc., and from 1992 to 1994, Range served in the identical capacity for Rust
International, Inc., a subsidiary of WMX Technologies, Inc.
“Jim Range was a dedicated, loyal and trusted member of my staff who helped to fashion some of
this country's most vital environmental legislation,” Sen. Baker said. “Of all his efforts to promote
comprehensive oversight concerning clean air and clean water, Jim was especially helpful with a
project that was of particular importance to me. He was an essential part of the team that was
able to come up with a unique approach that allowed the creation of the Big South Fork National
River and Recreation Area located in Tennessee and Kentucky. Were it not for Jim Range and a few
others, this idea would have never been possible. Jim and I continued working together, outside of
our formal positions in government, to try to influence responsible care for our country's all
important natural resources in a bipartisan spirit. I will miss Jim’s counsel, but more importantly, I
will miss him.”
In his 1986 book “Running in Place: Inside the Senate,” James A. Miller described Range as “… a
legislative cowboy – a southern, tough-talking, Jack Daniels-drinking, boyishly handsome,
charismatic lawyer who long ago made the right connections on his way up north. … At 36, the
blustery Range has become one of a handful of key aides recognized by senators and staff alike as
an authoritative source of crucial information about the Senate’s agenda.”
Many of Jim’s beneficial contributions to natural resource law are well-known. He played an
instrumental role in the crafting and final passage of a string of landmark laws, including the Clean
Water Act, but his true cumulative influence on behalf of America’s fish and wildlife resources is
inestimable. Jim attributed much of the success he and his colleagues had in the policymaking
arena to their ability to work in a bipartisan fashion, putting America's outdoor resources above
party politics. He often paraphrased President Ronald Reagan, saying, “It’s amazing what you can
get done in this town when you don’t worry about who gets the credit.”
Aside from service as Chairman of the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership’s Board of
Directors, Range served on the Boards of Directors for Trout Unlimited, Ducks Unlimited, the
Wetlands America Trust, the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation, the American
Sportfishing Association, the American Bird Conservancy, the Pacific Forest Trust, the Yellowstone
Park Foundation, and the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust.
An original board member and Chair of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Range also was a
White House appointee to the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin, the Sportfishing
and Boating Partnership Council and the Valles Caldera Trust.
In 2003, Range received the U.S. Department of the Interior's Great Blue Heron Award, the highest
honor given to an individual at the national level by the Department. He was also awarded the 2003
Outdoor Life Magazine Conservationist of the Year Award and the Norville Prosser Lifetime
Achievement Award presented by the American Sportfishing Association.
Range was profiled by Time magazine in 2005 for his efforts to expand the availability of
conservation easements, and a Wall Street Journal story that same year highlighted Range’s
successful efforts to engineer the rollback of an excise tax that was unintentionally placing
American fly rod manufacturers at a huge competitive disadvantage. Of Range and Rod DeArment,
a former chief of staff to Bob Dole when he was Senate majority leader, the Journal reported, “The
men worked together to push through pillars of the Reagan agenda -- tax cuts in 1981 and the last
big reform of the Social Security system in 1983 -- but also were allies in a little-noticed 1984 law
that placed excise taxes on fishing gear and some motor fuels into a trust fund that sponsored state
programs to clean up rivers and improve fishing ecosystems.”
When still serving as chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Senator
Pete Domenici of New Mexico said of Range, "Jim Range has been one of those rare individuals who

has dedicated his life to bringing opposing parties together to unite for a common good. He did it as
a senior staff in the United States Senate working on clean air, clean water, and wildlife issues. He
is still doing it in the conservation field now with the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership.
I truly believe that if extremists on both sides of the environmental spectrum could learn from Jim's
wisdom and work, the whole country would be better off."
Range enjoyed a wide variety of outdoor activities, but loved hunting and fishing the most. He
pursued both passions all over the world but ended up falling in love with Montana and its trout and
game birds. He spent as much time as he could at his property on the Missouri River in Craig,
Montana, the Flyway Ranch. Range graciously hosted many important events over the years for
leaders from political, business, non-governmental organization and media circles. It was his
personal bastion of respite as he found relief from his many commitments and busy schedule on the
waters of the Missouri River with a fly rod in his hands.
In addition to hunting and fishing Jim enjoyed pastimes close to home. Jim was an avid backyard
birder and loved tending to his perennial garden. He had a special place in his heart for orchids,
which he raised in a greenhouse dedicated to that purpose. He had a multitude of bird feeders that
he faithfully replenished throughout the year. Jim’s back garden in the springtime was a magical
oasis of colorful blossoms and birds, scent and song, where he loved to work in the early morning
and relax in the evenings. Jim was also a renowned gourmet cook. Friends far and wide were
drawn to his table, where they knew they would enjoy an exceptional meal—usually featuring fresh
game or fish—numerous libations and lively political debate that would last late into the early
morning hours.
Growing up in Johnson City, Jim learned his love of the outdoors in the mountains of Tennessee. He
was an Eagle Scout, acting as an aquatics instructor at Camp Tom Howard, attending National
Camping School and working at Philmont Scout Ranch. He attended Science Hill High School. Range
attained a B.S. degree at Tulane University, a M.S. in fisheries biology from Tennessee Tech, and
graduated from the University of Miami School of Law.
Jim is survived by twin daughters Kimberly Range Truesdale and Allison Range, both of Arlington,
Va.; his father Dr. James J. (Bud) Range of Johnson City, Tenn. and Marco Island, Fla.; brothers
Harry of Marietta, Ga., John Neel of Braselton, Ga. and Peter of Richmond Hills, Ga.; and friend
Anni Ince-McKillop and her two children, Greg and Jess McKillop of Washington, DC. Range was
preceded in death by his mother, Estelle Range.
