On the recordApril 14, 1999
The bill approved by the House Energy and Power Subcommittee today is an environmental and fiscal travesty with absolutely no chance of enactment. I urge Congress to once again reject this misguided and dangerous legislation. I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Record an article that appeared in the Las Vegas Review-Journal dated March 28, 1999, which outlines the dreadful prospect that the nuclear power industry has for any future, based upon the economics as I outlined in my statement.

There are no maps. That will give you some indication of what a shoddy, moving target this has been as we have tried to debate and expand on it. It is simply indefensible public policy. I urge my colleagues to vote against it.
