Jimmy Carter actually said...

"I am establishing this Nation's first comprehensive radioactive waste management program."

"It is essential that all aspects of the waste management program be conducted with the fullest possible disclosure to and participation by the public and the technical community."

"We must proceed steadily and with determination to resolve the remaining technical issues while ensuring full public participation and maintaining the full cooperation of all levels of government."

"My paramount objective in managing nuclear wastes is to protect the health and safety of all Americans, both now and in the future."
