“I think it’s a very different administration … compared to the Clinton days. They’re going to go out of the way to make sure that they are not courting special favors to lobbyists and to special interests. They’ll only agree to things on strict merits. From a good government point of view, that’s very refreshing. From a lobbying point of view, it’s obviously more of a challenge." - - - indicted Republican lobbyist, Jack Abramoff, March, 2003
