President Bush on Wednesday named three new people for jobs at the Department of Interior.

Steven A. Williams is being tapped to run the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The agency manages the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska.

Jeffrey D. Jarrett is Bush's choice to head the Office of Surface Mining, Reclamation and Enforcement. Like Gale Norton, he is a former member of the Reagan administration under former and controversial Secretary James Watt.

Bush also named Craig Manson to be Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife.
