Abramoff lobbied DeLay's office to organize a June 10, 2003 letter to Interior Secretary Gale A. Norton endorsing a view of gambling law benefiting the Coushattas. The Letter was signed by DeLay,House Speaker J.Dennis Hastert (R-IL),Majority Whip Roy Blunt (R-MO) and Deputy Whip Eric I. Cantor (R-VA), group of people who do not weigh in on Indains issues.
