Now that the CalFed Bay-Delta Authorization is extended through 2014, will the administration be providing a Cross Cut Budget document showing expenditures and accomplishments, either this year or in the fiscal year 2012 budget request?

California is still recovering from 3 years of drought, and the water situation is likely to remain critical, or near critical, for years to come.

The President has requested $11.2 billion for the National Nuclear Security Administration, a 13.4 percent increase from fiscal year 2010.

My interest, on the military side, is really to see that we do not become proliferators

What does that mean, in terms of this year and the budget?

So, we're going to do that this year.

Yes, so was fusion energy.

Is that included in the $481 million----

Do you believe that Lawrence Livermore would need additional funding to develop a baseline design for the technologies required to translate successful demonstration of ignition, on NIF, into a practical powerplant for supplying…

Lifetimes of today's nuclear warheads could be extended for decades with no anticipated loss in confidence, by using approaches similar to those employed in LEPs to date.

JASON finds no evidence that accumulation of changes incurred from aging and LEPs' lifetime extension have increased risk to certification of today's deployed nuclear warheads.

I strongly believe that the United States of America should not be a nuclear proliferator.

That's not what it says.

I stand ready to work with my colleagues and the administration to craft a sensible, bi-partisan nuclear weapons policy that will keep Americans safe and will reduce the danger of a nuclear war or a nuclear attack.

I also appreciate President Obama's support for ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, a critical component of any U.S. nuclear nonproliferation regime.

I am hopeful he will use the upcoming Nuclear Posture Review to craft a new nuclear weapons policy that will help stop the spread of nuclear weapons and chart the course for their elimination from the Earth.

Together, we have eliminated funding for the Advanced Concepts Initiative, the Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator, the Modern Pit Facility and the Reliable Replacement Warhead program.

Everything I have seen says he would have a high chance at being successful in--because he is an American, and that seems to me to be a heavier prior right.

I think that has really fueled the Arizona law, which I think is an unfortunate law, but nonetheless, I understand the fear that people have.

I happen to believe will be the result.

I want to ask a question in my capacity of Chairman of the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control.

I believe that this is an appropriate role for NASA, and I share the Presidents belief that these changes will also create jobs and benefit the domestic U.S. space industry as a whole.

What is the Commerce Department planning to do to address the many other stressors in the Delta, including predator fish, toxic discharges such as ammonia, and pesticides such as pyrethroids?

It is concerning to me that some of the hardest-hit areas of the country... have been entirely left out for funding.

California is at the center of the home foreclosure crisis.
