On the recordApril 30, 2008
I hope that within the next few weeks, a bipartisan group of us from the Congress could meet with the National Academies and see what concrete proposals we might offer the new President and the new Congress, and that we complete that work this year. Democrat Bart Gordon, a Congressman from Tennessee and chairman of the Science Committee in the House of Representatives, was--along with Senator Bingaman, myself, and then-Congressman Sherwood Boehlert--one of the four original signers of the 2005 request to the National Academies that led to the America COMPETES Act. Congressman Gordon will join me in Oak Ridge on May 9, and he will address those who are there about clean energy independence.
