Thank you very much. Mr. Chairman, thank you very much.

Mr. D'Agostino, for fiscal year 2011 you are proposing to initiate a study on the Minuteman III W-78 warhead.

Dr. Triay, I understand that most of the stimulus funds will be used to clean up the old plutonium operations facility at Los Alamos or TA-21.

Dr. Triay, what activities does the EM program conduct that support the mission of the NNSA?

Dr. Triay, Los Alamos is a National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) site and the NNSA directs the cleanup operations there. Does this pose a difficulty for you?

Mr. D'Agostino, do you support replacing the aging facilities for the NNSA service center at Kirtland Air Force Base?

I think the most important thing is our desire to get DOE's reputation back on track, with respect to large facilities.

Dr. Triay, will EM meet its milestones at WIPP and Los Alamos?

My understanding is that for this year the effort will examine principally the non-nuclear components.

Dr. Triay, the NNSA fiscal year 2011 budget request lists the demolition and decontamination of the old Chemistry and Metallurgy Research (CMR) Replacement facility between $200 to $350 million.

Mr. D'Agostino, you list out-year cost estimates of the B-61 gravity bomb totaling approximately $1.68 billion.

We recommend that all of these bills be grouped together and reported out of Committee on a bipartisan basis.

You testified to this subcommittee, last year, that the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSC) was an important tool to help maintain the stockpile.

There has been a lot of interest and concern there in northern New Mexico about this issue of possible contamination of water.

We canceled the approach that the lab was proposing to the Federal Government, which was a third-party-financed approach.

I expect, in calendar year 2012--whether it bridges into fiscal year 2012 or 2013--I'd have to double check.

We thank Senators Bingaman, Murkowski, Menendez, and Kohl for introducing these bills and moving the discussion forward.

By 2020, the program that the Department of Energy has in place related to appliance standards will have reduced national electric demand 12 percent below what it otherwise would be.
