Is there any other use for fly ash, or market for fly ash beyond concrete?

I would like to thank Lamar Alexander for calling together the TVA Caucus to meet with TVA and for the first time for me, to be able to see those who were damaged by this spill.

I think that is important for us to note in this whole CR question, too, of course, it ultimately always is taxpayers' money, whether the utility is paying it, they got it from the taxpayer, or the taxpayer does.

It would seem like although you regulate and don't advocate, it would seem like a MOX facility to reprocess spent fuel and reduce the waste by 90 percent would be something we ought to be investigating as a Nation.

I would just suggest to the Chairman, that seems like a technicality we need to correct.

For the record, I just thought the record ought to reflect, I thought I heard you saying it in your answer, Mr. Jaczko, this was not a safety or environmental violation, which is why it didn't rise to the level of a fine.

I understand. I think that needs to be in the record.

Thank you, Senator Carper.

We have to re-earn it continually, so although we have had good support, we need to continue to earn your trust and confidence.

I support the Chairman's testimony regarding the budgetary resources.

But there is no question in my mind that without a robust nuclear energy program for electric energy, we can never get to where we need to get in terms of reducing carbon and having reliable energy at an affordable rate for the people of…

That is right, $3,500 a year for each of the first 2 years you occupy it as a resident.

So what you are doing, you leave targeted the stimulus to absorb the foreclosed properties, but you add a stimulus for first-time home buyers in the marketplace?

I express my appreciation to him, Chairman Baucus, on the hard work that has been done on this particular legislation, in particular, the tax credit on foreclosed homes, and to praise his staff for the late night concentrated hours Tuesday…

I think that ties in to what Secretary Miller said about the increase.

I understand the privacy concerns.

Thank you, Secretary Peters, for being here.

First of all, the Levin-Reed amendment specifically calls for a withdrawal beginning 120 days from now and completed by the spring of next year. Unconditional, notwithstanding whatever action may be taking place on the ground, what…

I rise for the third time in 2 years and 5 months to talk about the most significant issue facing the United States of America as far as domestic policy is concerned. Our borders to the south have been leaking far too long and in too great…

In conclusion, this water resources bill represents a long overdue step forward in the investment to protect our water resources, enhance our environmental restoration, and spur economic development. It is an investment in the future of…

I am glad the President vetoed the war supplemental with timelines for withdrawal. It is absolutely wrong to tie the money to support our troops to arbitrary timetables that have nothing to do with success or failure but only to do with…

I will never, hopefully, debate or question any individual's judgment and morality. I admire it in everybody, and I admire the Senator from Iowa and his principles. The President has made his statement and has said what he would do. My…

The President issued that directive in August of 2001. He established that date of August 9. The White House has now said that in the case of S. 30, had the stem cells survived from the naturally dead prohibition, they would live. That is…

Those embryos developed in in vitro fertilization would in all cases be eggs fertilized for the purpose of creating a viable embryo.

If that is the case, when the Senator made the statement that I was only talking about those used in in vitro, which is different from in utero, which I guess meant implantation, both bills do exactly the same thing. You would never create…
