clean up and restore a former chemical weapons manufacturing site on the 
outskirts of Denver, the attorney general announced Thursday.

Shell Oil Co. has agreed to provide $21 million in cash and land for 
clean up at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, where the Houston-based company

remarks prepared for delivery provided to Legal Newsline.
