"We've been working hard to try & find those places where there is strong support for energy going forward. And, actually, the state of Alaska is somewhat unique with its approach to ANWR, because they do strongly support the ANWR proposal in Alaska.

Gail Norton, Sec'y of the Interior, on Hannity & Colmes, 3-4-02. |
"The predicate of the Oregon Health Plan is we're trying to get the full insurance & instead of offering a Cadillac to a few we're saying we can give you a Chevrolet for everyone & I really think that may be a way we can get closer to full insurance."
