Well, thank you, Secretary Chu. And because of the event in Japan and Chernobyl and Three Mile Island and other events, the news media certainly is focused on what is happening in Japan and the impact that that would have on nuclear power in America.
Whitfield acknowledges media focus on nuclear power due to recent international incidents.

Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from Texas (Mr. Flores), who is a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee and, I believe, a cosponsor of this legislation.
I want to thank Reps. Olson, Flores, Latta, Cuellar, Leader McCarthy, and Whip Scalise for their great work on this legislation...
I mean, some of you are having some problems in your States of meeting a Federal requirement.
And so we have a real problem and one comment I would make about Mr. Olson's legislation is some have suggested that we are mandating that only--it be reviewed every 10 years.
