I don't see anything there that suggests the intervention of Clinton or any other elected executives. The person quoted is "associate director at the U.S. Department of the Interior's National Park Service". That's a career bureaucracy position: a "member of the administration" to the extent that the Park Service is a part of the executive branch, but the working bureaucracy of the Park Service doesn't change with administrations, and I doubt that a change of administration would change that opinion. If the bill was vetoed, I would call that interference by the administration, but the opinion of a mid-level administrator in the Park Service hardly qualifies.

What I see is a quarrel between Native American groups and scientists, which is gradually being thrashed out through judicial and legislative processes. I don't see anything sinister about that.
