While we salute and celebrate this progress, we cannot afford to gamble with the bears' future. The Yellowstone grizzly bear is an irreplaceable part of America's natural heritage, an icon of all that is wild and free.

We have accomplished a great deal in 1998 and have made enormous progress in laying the foundation for solid future performance. The performance of our lodging operations for the fourth quarter remains strong and ahead of our expectations.

I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.

I say let's not gamble with American jobs and America's future.

People need to see the progress being made. They need to know that we're taking care of the future of Iraq. Soon, our security forces will allow us to live and prosper all over this great country of ours. We will have more and more project openings and the ceremonies will get bigger and better.
