“today I wish to discuss Senate amendment No. 3021, which would enable research and development of advanced nuclear energy technologies. I support this amendment but was not present when the Senate voted to adopt it 87-4 on Thursday, January 28, 2016. Had I been present, I would have voted in favor of the amendment, and my vote would not have changed the outcome of this amendment. Research and development into the next generation of innovative energy technologies are important to our Nation's all-of-the-above energy strategy. Thank you. ____________________”
