As a Member of Congress, you have the most freedom to explore all the solutions to the problems that we are talking about today and to push for solutions, and particularly economic solutions.

Those solutions would require Congress to empower DOE to go further than just the studies.

If we cannot agree on Yucca or another site, an interim site--and when I say 'interim,' interim is 10,000 years.

The fact that Yucca is not currently the repository is a political decision made based on both Republicans and Democrats.

Our government owes the American people an effective plan to address our nuclear waste storage problem.

California, in spite of its great size and some remote areas, does sit on an earthquake fault.

Sometimes it pays to be a former government official. A little piece of history.

No matter what Southern California Edison does, they will never have as safe a storage place.

the operating plan both for a failure of the pooled storage and a possible catastrophic failure of one of the active reactors included a pretty massive withdrawal of more than a million people from the surrounding area.

I want to thank the Energy and Commerce Committee for giving me an opportunity to, one, speak in support of this bill; and, two, take just a couple of minutes to say what is wrong with this body on one bill that you won't see here today…

We go in there as a gift to the rest of the world for safety and security, and perhaps the Chinese have a different intent.

I would put my money on America every day.

If you teach someone how to fish they will be fed for a lifetime.

I watched us systematically sell out to the Chinese. I watched us systematically move our fabs to China.

What I like about the WTO process is that it gives plenty of time for people to think about it because it is slow as can be.

Isn't it true that if Google goes into China, complies with Chinese regulations, effectively, they become a Chinese company?

All of the Department's bank investigations conducted as part of Operation Chokepoint are now over. The initiative is no longer in effect, and it will not be undertaken again.

Egypt must do its part as well.

I would like to see better human rights. But ask a Coptic Christian which they'd rather have--the last regime that my previous President endorsed, or the regime today that's fighting ISIS and other enemies on all its borders while…

I believe that the--especially if Morsi would have continued the direction he was going, just the same direction Erdogan is going today, I think that leads to death, instability, and it leads to far less freedom in the long run.

unequivocally, we need Egypt as much or more than Egypt needs us.

I am looking forward to hearing what more we could do to dissuade the Egyptians from violating international law and partnering with North Korea.

We need transparency and visibility here in Washington, not only about the U.S.-Egypt relationship but the way in which the Sisi government treats its own people.
