Senate holds confirmation hearing for Interior nominee Salazar

The U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources held a hearing Thursday on the confirmation of U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo., to be secretary of the Interior.

At the hearing, Salazar vowed to "clean up the mess"at the scandal-plagued agency and to reform the nation's mining laws.

If confirmed, Salazar will oversee the Bureau of Land Management, which administers vast acreage in Colorado, as well as the nation's national parks.
