Judd Gregg: “This is not a revenue bill, Mr. President. This is not a tax bill. This is a Patients' Bill of Rights bill. I think it…”

On the recordJune 21, 2001
This is not a revenue bill, Mr. President. This is not a tax bill. This is a Patients' Bill of Rights bill. I think it is perfectly reasonable to say that three, as long as they fit under the window, would be appropriate. I went from one to three. I kept asking the Senator from New Hampshire if we could reach agreement on numbers of amendments. No. We have a lot of amendments. Well, that is not what the bill is all about. I am willing to agree to three. I think that is reasonable. So, obviously, I cannot agree to something which is basically open ended.

The issue for nuclear is that, because it does these good things, like reduce carbon and have reliability and be part of the diversity mix, it gets no credit for this in the marketplace.
