On the recordOctober 7, 1998

It is going to attempt to take 50 percent of the moneys that are now flowing into the Federal Treasury from offshore oil and gas revenues-- which have been very significant; $120 billion since 1955--and redistribute those revenues in a smarter way, in a better way, and in a way that our country can be proud of.
