William Bryan: “Absolutely. If you are looking at this in terms of the political consequences, there are four electoral votes in Nevada.…”

On the recordApril 10, 1997
Absolutely. If you are looking at this in terms of the political consequences, there are four electoral votes in Nevada. Many States have many more. So if it was a political calculus made, the President's math was poor indeed. He supported the position argued by not only those of us in Nevada, but those who were following the premise of the act, the Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board, and the point made by the Senator from Arkansas the other day that we ought not to be transporting this across the country until we have the permanent site. Does it make any sense at all? I believe that was the basis.
