Interior Secretary Gale Norton won't comment about the priorities of the next Bush administration because she doesn't know if she will be sticking around for another four years.
Norton was asked by The New York Times to talk about her department's upcoming agenda. But the paper said she declined to be interviewed "until Mr. Bush decided who would serve in his new cabinet."
Some of Bush's Cabinet members are expected to leave in the coming months. Norton hasn't stated her plans but some department officials say she will resign, along with Deputy Secretary J. Steven Griles.
