Jerry Lewis: “If it is accurate that no other State has downsized an interstate pipeline in order for it to be a California pipeline…”

On the recordAugust 1, 2001
If it is accurate that no other State has downsized an interstate pipeline in order for it to be a California pipeline, if that is an accurate statement, certainly the gentleman knows that California is by far the largest State in the Union, with the exception of one, in terms of territory.
