"I think it is important that we do what we can to increase production on our public lands and thus increase revenues to our Treasury because production is up."

"Let me talk a little bit or let us have a discussion here about where we are with the contaminated lands..."

"So not necessarily new leases but on existing leases, you are seeing increased production."

"So saying that we can do a better job I think belies the obvious."
