I must say, based upon a previous statement that the Speaker made with respect to the same House Member in 1996, when he indicated at that time no action would be taken on the temporary nuclear waste bill. In 1996, the Speaker was good to his commitment and did not do so. I presume that he would be in the same vein committed to honor the commitment he has made. I say to my friend from Alaska, I have no reason to challenge that. I have seen nothing from the Speaker to indicate that the Congressman's statement is inaccurate.
