This accident at Three Mile Island brought home the need to assure that nuclear power is as safe as possible.
I wanted a strong, creative thinker who could take a new, fresh look at the way we educate our children.
I intend to nominate George W. Cunningham to be Assistant Secretary of Energy for Nuclear Energy.
This report will guide us all in learning about the accident itself and in assuring the higher degree of safety for our citizens.
