In your judgment, what would be the amount of acre-feet that these administrative changes could provide?

If you can't achieve ignition, that becomes a very big deal in terms of testing of weapons.

Could we please see the results of your pit-aging studies?

I want to speak about the termination or delay of two projects after spending a $1.5 billion on them.

I think Senator Alexander mentioned that we had that meeting. I remember it well on December 14 with you and the two chairs of the BRC, and the four of us resolved that we would work together, the authorizers and the appropriators.

It's wrong. It's just plain wrong. I've been here for 20 years. I've never seen anything like it.

It's a good idea, Senator. And I'd be very pleased to participate.

But if it is not safe and if we cannot do anything with the fuel other than store it next to a reactor, count me out.

That's $1.5 billion essentially wasted.

And this will not increase the cost of the W76?

Our ports are so far behind in infrastructure that it's scary.

I think we have to find a way, and right now, I'll tell you, I don't know what that is.

Before we fund something, we ought to know where things are.

You are saying there is a likelihood we will achieve ignition by the end of the year?

In order to sustain the program, it is critical that the WAP maintain adequate funding.

In 2009 when we had a similar situation, you had 45 percent unemployment.

So it is not fair to say that we have ample supply for current demand.

California, I should say, America's largest agriculture State is California.

We are nowhere close to modern.

Okay. I'd like to see it.

Well, I've asked GAO to take a look at this.

I don't know how they're functioning. I don't know how they're paying for functioning.

We made an offer to the House. The House turned it down.

So, in terms of Fresno, which is a community that is very upset about it, it will be a substitution, and as far as the community is concerned, there will be a continuation.

Well, not if you get flooded. And, you know, the chances of it getting flooded are much greater than ever having to use the W61 warhead.
