Mayor Bob Foster's efforts to clean the air at the Port of Long Beach, improve water quality and "green" the city seem to be paying off -- not in the environmental sense, but in a political way.

Foster has been appointed to chair the U.S. Conference of Mayors' environmental committee, Foster's office announced today. The Conference's president, Manuel Diaz, appointed Foster to the one-year term.

One of the first functions of the former head of Southern California Edison will be as a featured speaker in a forum Thursday called "Environment and Energy" during the Conference's annual meeting in Miami.
