I want to say that I wholeheartedly agree with Senator Bingaman. Just 2 rac{1}{2} years ago, we decided we needed LNG so much in the future that we wanted an orderly process that did not give the Governors of each State the right to veto. This one is even broader. This gives Governors a 15-mile radius around the opportunity to veto. I don't think we should change the law so quickly. I think we should leave it alone for a few years.
