I appreciate that point by the Senator from Nevada. Again, based upon this very series of questions and discussion I have had with the Senator from Nevada, it demonstrates there has been a tremendous history and knowledge over dealing with the nuclear issue in the State of Nevada. The millions and billions of dollars that have been directed to the State of Nevada by the Federal Government to deal with this Federal issue is well documented. And certainly Nevada has demonstrated that it has the expertise that is there to deal with this issue and is well suited, I believe, to help solve the nuclear issue for the Nation.
