No. The bill simply allows the Secretaries of Energy and State to explore pathways to grant generally authorized status to countries other than having 123 agreements in place. The bill does not relieve those Secretaries of their statutory responsibilities to preserve standards for nuclear safety and nonproliferation in the export of nuclear technologies to any countries, including those designated as Generally Authorized Destinations.

Thank you for your passion, and I would ask that we spend the rest of this day dealing with this and seeing if we can't work this out.
People ask me what I am proudest of in my life, and I always say, raising three boys, with a big assist from their mom.

I am the last Vietnam Veteran serving in the U.S. Senate, and kind of relates to my great affection and interest in the postal issues.
