Today I was lecturing on the mixed nature of US leadership in international 
environmental law, and used the example of how unilateral decisions by the US 
led others to change their behaviors, such as with CITES, magnuson act, and 
double hulled tankers.  But I realized I don't know the domestic story of what 
led to the US reversal on double hulled tankers.  Can anyone illuminate me?  
Thanks
