I urge you to support the funding levels in the President's budget request for $116 million for nuclear waste disposal, and $38.5 million to restart the licensing process with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

It is an honor to not just be the ranking member, but to be a partner with you at this Committee that has such a history of bipartisanship.

I actually appreciated the White House's infrastructure proposal.

I appreciate what my colleagues on this committee are doing to urge the Navy and urge our military to investigate what caused these tragic accidents.

I appreciate your service, I appreciate your recognition of the issues, and I look forward to working with you.

I appreciate your regret. I appreciate your willingness to work together.
