Mitch McConnell: “I expect the Department to make decommissioning and decontamination at Paducah a top priority.”

I still have unfinished business to complete on your behalf, and I have every intention of finishing the job you elected me to do.

Elaine and I are grateful for the many well wishes and support from friends, colleagues, and Kentuckians, and for the attentive care I've received from excellent doctors, nurses, therapists, and hospital staff.

But rest assured that, in the meantime, I’m not taking a break from the Senate business that matters to you.
