Quote
1
[on the two party system]: Republicans and Democrats, we all worked together.
2
On bipartisanship in recent years: Republicans and Democrats, we all worked together. We were losing the bipartisanship in the environmental area. Trying to transform our society to a clean energy and clean job society.
3
On the environmental and land-protection statutes: That was a wonderful time and it carried through into the Nixon administration, into the Ford administration, into the Cater administration. It lasted for 20 years. I don't remember a big fight between Republicans and Democrats in the Nixon Administration or President Gerald Ford and so on. There was a consensus that the country needed more conservation projects of the kind that we were proposing.
4
On remaining as Secretary of the Interior after President Kennedy's assassination in 1963: I think probably part of that was Lady Bird. She treasured me and we were wonderful friends.
