I think we have no apologies to make. We were in a state of global rivalry with a global adversary.

We clearly do have, I think, an obligation. Not because of something we did in the past, but because of who we are today and who we want to be in the future -- to see to it that ... the people of Zaire have a chance for a decent future.

We have to be realistic. The state, we think, can help some. It's not going to be able to do it all.

The state, I think, needs to just be a little bit more proactive -- monitor the bridges more often and do something about it, not wait until these disasters happen all the time.

The state should be an ally with mineral producers rather than an adversary. Mineral producers have 14 different agencies that we have to fight with. We're plugging an average of four oil wells a day in Wyoming. Oil production is dropping. There's plenty of oil in the state, but no incentive to drill.

There's no other way to describe it.
