On the recordApril 17, 2002
I was hoping the minority leader would respond by asking me a question. Having been there exactly a year ago today, with Senator Bingaman, who left his gloves at home and we had to find a pair of socks for him--we later found him a pair of gloves--and Gale Norton, Secretary of the Interior, it happened to be 77 below zero in Barrow. That gives some idea of the contrast between Washington, DC, and Alaska.
