Russell Train
node
A man can lead a private conservation group and then run a new government environment office, while the same private group's funders stay in the background.
Who they are
Russell Train, listed as a trustee in the record.
What they do
The record calls him a person moving between private conservation groups and public environmental roles.
How it works
Train was president of the Conservation Foundation from 1965 to 1969. Between 1970 and 1973 he was chairman of the newly formed Council on Environmental Quality. He was also a co-founder of the World Wildlife Fund and the second Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. The record notes that the Conservation Foundation had Rockefeller funding and that Train was a board member there. It also says the record does not establish that the Conservation Foundation controlled Train's official decisions or the CEQ, and does not establish that WWF funded or directed surveillance systems.
Why it matters
It shows how the same people can hold private conservation posts and public environmental posts, while the record stops short of saying the private groups controlled the public ones.
