I strongly believe that ATF is consistently understaffed and underfunded, despite your assertions that DOJ will prioritize investigating and prosecuting gun crimes.

I really hope we can get something passed to get all of these nuclear waste sites put into some permanent facilities.

How can the NRC be confident about the safety of waste, hot waste, stored a hundred or a thousand years from now at 77 reactor sites across 33 States?

As part of its response to Fukushima, it's my understanding the NRC asked all nuclear plants for information regarding seismic and flooding hazards.

I don't understand what the Department sees is the need to do this.

We have tried now for some 6 years to get past a nuclear waste policy act which would enable the money harbored by the Federal Government to be spent for proper nuclear development.

By when do you expect the rulemaking will conclude?

For example, Los Angeles County reported the largest increase in veteran homelessness in the country, documenting 1,748 more homeless veterans in 2017, an increase of 64 percent from 2016.

By delaying funds or providing insufficient funds to an ongoing construction project, the total cost of that project is going to go up.

It is because of their powerful and deeply personal stories that I first began working on the Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act.

the Administration's budget request represents a $2 billion or 30 percent cut. That is devastating.

California needs more storage, and that is certainly true. We are waiting and we have waited for 15 years now for Reclamation to complete the feasibility studies on sites Los Vaqueros and Temperance Flat.

This represents a $1.2 billion or 56 percent cut, Mr. Chairman, from the fiscal year 2018 omnibus.

This is an extremely important and bipartisan issue, and I am very grateful to both the Chairman and the Ranking Member for giving it the attention it deserves.

California communities represented seven of the ten largest increases in homelessness nationally since 2016.

the 2017 Point-In-Time (PIT) Count from your Department found approximately 553,700 individuals' nationwide experiencing homelessness on any given night in January 2017, a net increase of 3,800 people experiencing homelessness as compared…

I will never forget the Sunday afternoon just over a year ago when we heard that the collapse of Oroville Dam's emergency spillway was imminent. It would threaten 180,000 lives if it collapsed.

We owe it to them, and all of the other survivors, to continue to shed light on the failures of those who were meant to protect them, and bring justice to those who have long deserved it.

fielding the B61-12 enables the retirement of the B83-1 bomb in mid to late 2020s.

I expressed concerns about the cost and management of the B61 Life Extension Program.

I can say that the B83 is the largest warhead in America's arsenal.

I have a letter here from former Defense Secretary Hagel and former Energy Secretary Moniz from 2013.

Times have changed since World War II. The world is more interconnected and knowledgeable about nuclear weapons.

Maybe the first one.

the Trump Administration's Nuclear Posture Review jeopardizes the Executive Branch's end of the bargain by proposing new nuclear weapons
