Political Quotes

“this letter does not address the question of what the administration proposes as an answer if it does not like what we come up with. It simply acknowledges the two letters of the President. It indicates that: With respect to the proposal that we create an interim storage at Yucca Mountain, the Administration is conducting an internal policy review, as we do with all legislation pending in Congress. The Office of Management and Budget is leading this review, in its usual role. The Department of Energy is centrally involved, since it manages the nuclear waste program. All of which are self evident. The last paragraph addresses the issue in the following way: We expect to be in a position to communicate an Administration policy recommendation to you by the time you return from the Labor Day recess. And Ms. Rivlin apologizes for the delay. So here we started out in April, the first letter; August, the second letter to the President; third, we get a letter saying they are going to take it up after the recess. Time went by. Fall came. The leaves fell. Frost came. Snow came. Snow came down. Christmas passed. Then New Year's. One can only assume that the administration did not want to engage in this issue or try to solve the problem. So being somewhat consistent, on January 10, I decided I could wait no longer. So on January 10, I wrote another letter. Over the past 9 months--one can conceive a child in that timeframe.”
