What does 'Reno-era' policy mean?
I saw the following sentence in today's Washington Post article. What does 'Reno-era' policy mean? It's a new word to me. Can somebody tell?
Reno-era policy kept Jared Loughner off FBI gun list. An old policy memo from the Clinton administration paved the way for accused Arizona gunman Jared Loughner to buy his first firearm.
"Reno-era" refers to the time when Janet Reno was the Attorney General of the US.
The second sentence of the Washington Post article mentions "then-Attorney General" Reno
Put in place by then-Attorney General Janet Reno, the policy prohibited the military from reporting certain drug abusers to the FBI, which manages the national list of prohibited gun-buyers, federal officials said.
From Wikipedia
