“It sure is a States rights issue. I would be remiss if I didn't say this. I know my colleague has to leave. But in my first term as Governor, I had never heard of Mike Enzi. Who is this Mike Enzi guy? It turns out he is a great guy. He is one of our colleagues and a former mayor of Gillette, WY, and he has been pushing this as a Senator forever. Mike Leavitt, who succeeded me as chairman of the NGA, has been pushing this forever, a former Governor of Utah. So I give a shout out to both of them for their leadership. If we don't give up, sometimes we can get stuff done, and Mike Enzi doesn't give up and I know the Senator from Georgia doesn't. So I thank my friend.”
