I really do not know what it all means. It seems to me the Congress has an ability, too, to add money and that we should.

Will you commit to keep this committee informed if California's waiver comes under review in the future?

I was glad to see you testify that California's waiver is 'not currently being reviewed,' but has a firm decision been made not to re-open the waiver in the future?

I have taken the position that Yucca does have faults.

I'm going to raise my favorite subject, which is the most difficult, and you touched on it, and that's the spent nuclear waste that's piling up all over this Nation.

I think, Mr. Chairman, that you are a ten.

No. We can look into whatever we want to look into.

The Administration's goal to create jobs and wealth, I will suggest to you, are centered in the Department of Energy and the things that we have the capability of dealing with.

Russia has decided to weaken us through covert influence rather than brute force.

I was encouraged that the FDA recently announced the full implementation of Guidance for Industry #213.

I rise to introduce a resolution recognizing and heartily commending the Golden State Warriors for their dazzling season and 2017 World Championship victory. After going 16 and 1 in the postseason, earning the highest win percentage in NBA…

In the December 2016 Defense Science Board report, they called for integrating nuclear and non-nuclear capabilities for something called cross domain deterrence.

I remember the pictures in the San Francisco Chronicle and other papers when we dropped the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I agree we need safe and modern facilities for workers and we need robust scientific capabilities so we do not have to test our nuclear weapons.

I look at the fact that to do nothing is to take on a horrendous additional cost that is really not necessary to do.
