I conclude by reminding members of some very pertinent facts. ANWR has more oil in it than the State of Texas. These are not made-up facts. This is Department of Interior, USGS. This is not insignificant quantities we are dealing with.

I would like to also have in the Record that the Alaska Federation of Natives, which is the federation of all the Natives in the State of Alaska, has passed a resolution in support of the opening of ANWR and urging the Congress 'to adopt…

I rise today to speak of the contributions and service to the Nation, the U.S. Senate, to my family and myself made by Dr. Lloyd J. Ogilvie as Chaplain of the U.S. Senate... Dr. Ogilvie has served us well as the sixty-first Chaplain since…

Since we are talking about seafood, I mentioned just very briefly in the opening that the seafood industry in Alaska is a key industry for us.

Unfortunately, our seafood seems to get lumped into the same kind of generic categories.

In Alaska we don't seem to have, at least with certain of our fisheries we don't seem to have the levels of mercury.

One could go on at great length relative to the contributions of Senator Strom Thurmond and Senator Jesse Helms. But one of the things outstanding in my mind is the tours that Senator Thurmond used to give when we had a social event here…

What those might will be determined by the licensing process. But I would encourage my colleagues to recognize the reality here: Do we want this waste to stay where it is or do we want to move it to one central repository? You don't get it…

This is an estimate. It is all it can possibly be at this time because, clearly, we do not ship this material. We have had experience in shipping in the United States. We had 2,996 shipments of spent fuel under the authority of the Nuclear…

Yes, I think that all utilities who substantially participate in the interstate wholesale electric power market should be under the same regulatory regime, and subject to the same oversight by the same regulator. But I also want to make…

No. Publicly-owned utilities are not subject to the same oversight of their rates and other activities related to sales of bulk electricity in interstate commerce as investor-owned companies.
