Statement Of Roger Zion, Honorary Chairman, 60 Plus Association, To Senate Energy And Natural Resources Committee, U.S. Senate
“In 1973, I served as the Chairman of the House Republican Task Force on Energy and Resources.

Now it’s over 60%.”

And he’s making good on that promise now.
New Drug Survey Shows That It Pays To Shop Around
