Regarding the Nevada test site, I referenced this as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. I am very familiar with the important work previously done at this site.

So I ask the chairman of the Energy Committee, is this the location proposed to serve as the interim storage facility under the Murkowski- Craig bill?
