I think the bill that we marked up last year, the Lieberman-Warner Bill, and I think much of the provisions included in the Waxman-Markey Bill, encourages the type of activities that Senator Alexander was talking about, including the expansion of nuclear power, which I also support and believe is necessary for us to meet our energy needs and to accomplish our other goals.
Cardin supports nuclear power expansion for energy needs and job creation.

Thank you very much for holding this hearing on the implementation of Global Magnitsky sanctions.
