It clearly would be a nice way to make some money.

Now, but I am concerned in this report of HHS, they speak about if there is early notification of shortages, there may be hoarding.

I understand the Coast Guard has the authority to use an alternative security program. Can we use an alternative security program?

I just don't know what to say.

How many have been fired? It is a pretty simple question if you only have 206 employees, and how many do you have on the chopping block?

If I concede the argument that your job is important for safety, it frankly seems not just an indictment of your organization, but it frankly seems to place my constituents at risk.

Obviously it paints a disaster in terms of acquisition, inventory management, attitudes, I mean, it is just a total indictment.

No one likes change, even from worse to better.

But, obviously, Senator Reid does not and he has effectively used his power to kill it.

Is it because of previous decisions made by, say, President Carter that we have not committed to reprocessing, or is there actually a technical barrier that our guys cannot embrace?

Now, I have read something by the CEO of AREVA, the French concern that does nuclear, they claim that now they reduce waste down to a quarter of what the waste would be with their reprocessing.

I am struck in your report that you are even pessimistic about the ability of a closed nuclear fuel cycle to make a difference right now.

Now, let me ask you, if--it does seem though if we are going to commit, as the President has committed, to building some new nuclear power plants, that one, it would be a logical time if we do have that technology to integrate the two.

It is hard to get the American people an honest answer.

If already, I think as Deutch said, it is on the chopping block because of the fiscal strain Medicaid is playing.

So once we put the imprimatur of government that this is an OK activity and therefore Google can run a sidebar...

Now, would this data be, could this data be or is this data, when it is connected, is it collated, correlated, da-da-da dated, in order to further target me in a more sophisticated fashion?

If I log on my phone, I register my phone, I pull it out of the box and I register it, it says hey, I am Bill Cassidy, I am da-da-da...

That is disturbing because again if we have a premise which I think you all agree with is that sometimes they are not given the complete picture.

I am struck how sometimes processes used to manipulate the response to the findings.

It would be incredibly time-intensive, resource-intensive to really do an adequate review.

I agree with Dr. Burke that there is indeed a threat to IRIS's reputation and I think we are seeing it in terms of an uncovering of how they present facts.

That is either suggesting incompetence or it is suggesting the pursuit of a political agenda.

But my concern is apparently they are not presenting the whole picture which in effect skews the----

Why in the world are we making decisions that affect an incredible number of jobs on something which doesn't have a plausible alternative explanation
