Final answer:
The question asks for the year in which Ray Watts was appointed as president, but the reference information provided only discusses James Watt and unrelated topics, making it impossible to answer the original question based on the given context.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student has asked about the appointment year of an individual named Ray Watts as president. However, the reference information provided does not mention any person named Ray Watts or his appointment as president. The information focuses on James Watt, a Reagan appointee who was Secretary of the Interior in the 1980s, and unrelated historical and investigative topics. Without the correct context or additional information about Ray Watts, it is not possible to provide an accurate year of appointment for this individual. Therefore, I am unable to answer the student's question accurately based upon the information given.
