He said the Interior Department's delay brought a welcome respite to the controversy and would "give Oregonians a chance to reconsider the kind of state we wish to be."In a recent U.S. House floor speech with overtones of 19th century populist William Jennings Bryan, Wu said of the idea for the Gorge: "We should not sacrifice our national treasures, our communities or our souls upon the altar of Indian casino gambling."
