Senator Inhofe, thanks very much, thanks for your leadership and your continued strong participation.

Thank you very much. Again, my apologies to the Committee.

Do you think they have more of the tools that they need to meet an accident of this nature today, than maybe 30 years ago?

We have nothing to fear but fear itself.

I think we all found it just very interesting. All the testimony is very good, but it was just riveting the way you documented it.

Thanks. Your entire statement will be made part of the record.

We need a culture of safety in every single nuclear power plant that we have now and those that we are going to build.

I appreciate yours and the Committee's support on giving us the finances we need to make our decisions to protect the American people.

The two of you made a good team.

Mr. Denton, you are a little bit over 6 minutes. I am going to ask you to try to wrap it up here very shortly if you can, please.

This is a time to remain vigilant.

Only with a safety-focused nuclear industry can America reap the benefits of clean, safe nuclear power.

Just being able to communicate their work, their role, their concerns, their efforts to focus on safety.

Thank you so much, Dr. Lyons.

We need a first-rate Director of the Census Bureau and we need him or her right now.

the Secretary of Commerce wasn't very mindful of those responsibilities, his oversight responsibilities in terms of providing directional leadership for the Bureau of the Census.

That is a very good point.

We want to make sure that whoever is leading this operation has the resources to do the job as best we can.

I would like to ask each of you to send me two names by close of business tomorrow of somebody that you think would be an excellent Director of the Bureau of the Census.

I think maybe in each of those instances, certainly in IRS, the Department of Treasury, you have a Commissioner serving a 5-year term and the head of the Department is a political appointee who may not be there for 5 years.

we are going to be very aggressive about seeing that gets prosecuted, as aggressive as we can possibly be if the facts support those kinds of things.

Transparency is key. It helps ensure that the Census is on track.

We really need to look at what other approaches are out there that can either get better results or at least control the costs better.

These Race and Ethnic Advisory Committees are really very important, because they have members who come from diverse minority communities and work very well together.

We maybe ought to give serious consideration to whoever is going to be serving as our Census Bureau Directors in the future.
