*His work on correcting our over damming of our national water flow was excellent (and still praised)
*He is ON THE RECORD as the only Secretary of Interior to invite ALL interested parties into debates
*He's the first guy to require non-renewable resource corporations to document their "intentions"
*His Forest Lease re-assessment was much heralded by everybody except Weyerhaeuser while Universal and Deltic praised his work
The guy was the best we've ever had period
