Bill. Al Gore's father set on OXY's BOD. He worked for a subsidiary of OXY and had close business relations with A. Hammer. I just now read the article in today's WSJ. There was a brief mentioning of the OXY share controversy between Al Gore and the environmentalists on CNBC earlier. There was another little tidbit in this WSJ article. Al Gore's father owned some land with a mine on it and sold it to Al Gore, his son. The mining company was cited in the past for polluting a nearby river. I guess Al Gore only owns the land. I don't know about the mine itself. The article says that he receives royalties from it. But we know that he owned the house where he refused to fix the toilette for his tenants until IT became a controversy. About this drilling by OXY. I just read that the site is in Columbia and there is a big to do about it with some natives. They are threatening to walk off a cliff if drilling begins. I guess they probably just wanted the lease royalties but not the drilling, if it was theirs to collect. Maybe you get to read the article in the WSJ. It's an interesting article. It says that those oil shares have been an ongoing embarrassment to Al Gore. I am def. not begrudging his family those shares. But it does strike me funny when I hear his ticket going after Bush/Cheney on this subject. Oil. Especially when his father set on an oil company board. Tobacco was the same situation. Sonny
