On the recordJuly 11, 1995
I think it is awfully important to understand that in this case there is no National Taxpayers' Union opposition to what we are doing here. There is no Citizens Against Government Waste opposition to what we are doing here. This has been authorized by the authorizing subcommittee, by the House Committee on Science itself, and then when it came over to the appropriators they did their job in cutting. I felt they cut too much, because it went down to $18 million. So the job has been done. It has gone through the process. You have a National Academy of Sciences report that deals with electrometallurgical processing, and the gentleman from Wisconsin is talking about one that deals with plutonium disposition options. We are not talking about plutonium disposition options. We are talking about a metallurgical process on spent fuel that the public, that the DOE, has created.
