It is good news that we can move immediately to consideration of S. 104 starting tomorrow afternoon. I think it also portends what we all know here, that S. 104 has a substantial majority support in this Senate and the Senators from Nevada recognize, and we appreciate their recognition of the fact, that this is an issue that is of national scope. While I understand and appreciate their strong defense of Nevada, I also can recognize the need to speak nationally about a national problem and the responsiveness of States, like yours and like mine, who wish to find safe, sound, environmentally recognized storage locations for both high-level waste and nuclear spent fuel, to seek that location in the Yucca Mountain facility that is currently under investigation.
