Talk:United States Secretary of the Interior

A missing 'Acting' Secretary?
While working on other things, George W. Woodruff, popped up several places attached to the term Acting Secretary of the Interior, during Teddy Roosevelt's administration. It might have been a short stint (mid 1907), but with his other activities, it was at an important time in establishing the basis of current policy concerning use of and charges for natural resources. Other than the mention at his page, there are others, including;
 * The Milwaukee Journal - Feb 17, 1930
 * Indian Reserved Water Rights: The Winters Doctrine in Its Social and Legal ..., item 13
 * and others...

But then again, it might also be a mis-reference to the following quote from the Report of the Forester, 1907, by his friend Gifford Pinchot;
 * On March 22 Mr. George W. Woodruff, Chief of the Office of Law, resigned to become Assistant Attorney-General of the United States, assigned to the Department of the Interior. His work for the Service was of very great value, not only in purely legal matters, but also in solving administrative problems and important questions of policy, especially in the sections of claims, special uses, and settlement, which were under his charge. These sections, with status, were in April transferred to the new Office of Lands, under which their activities for the year will be reported, and the law officer and his force were transferred to the Office of the Forester.

Orphaned references in United States Secretary of the Interior
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of United States Secretary of the Interior's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "UnitedStatesCode|5|5312": From United States Attorney General: . From United States Secretary of Defense:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 06:13, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
