Andrew P. Hunter said "Over the last 2 weeks, largely as a result of his leadership, the Department of Energy has identified a need of $370 million in required work to keep the project on schedule in fiscal year 2001. What the gentleman from Washington basically asked us to do was to keep this thing going and make sure that the design and engineering work continued, that the procurement that was necessary was allowed to take place and that we had a contingency fund available so that we could keep the project moving forward and keep the commitments that the Federal Government has made to Washington State. As a result of the gentleman's leadership and direction, we put those numbers together and indeed did come up with the $370 million requirement that is going to be needed to keep the project going for the next 12 months." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
