On the recordSeptember 12, 1996
Mr. Speaker, I want join the chorus in paying tribute to our colleagues who are retiring, the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Myers] and the gentleman from Alabama [Mr. Bevill]. It was my pleasure to serve with them on their subcommittee for a couple of years, and they have been kind to me then and ever since. I think we all wish them good health and happiness in the years that lie ahead. I also appreciate their good work in this bill and particularly with respect to funding for nuclear weapons plant cleanup sites. I am glad that the conference report, like the House bill, provides for a separate account for so-called privatization projects at DOE sites such as the one in my area, Rocky Flats. My understanding is that this can be used for high-priority cleanup projects including both those that would involve construction of new treatment facilities and others that might not necessarily involve that sort of construction.
