From a Department of Interior employee writing to Talking Points Memo:

Just wanted to let you guys know that there was an all-hands meeting with the new Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar, at 11am today.

The bullet points are:

- Ethical misconduct and criminal acts by Bush political appointees spoiled image of department.
- We want to be held to the highest standards of ethics and accountability.
- We will respect the scientific process.
- There is the possibility that we will form a basketball team and take on the White House. Though Sec. Salazar noted that he has to be careful, as he "serves at the pleasure of the president."
