“I appreciate those remarks. The Senator from New Mexico has been an extraordinary leader in this field of nuclear energy. I compliment the industry. The Senator from New Mexico understands that the oil and gas industry has been, in the last couple of years, broadening its horizons and outlook in welcoming these new sources of energy. They are turning themselves from oil companies to energy companies, from gas companies to energy companies, opening up possibilities for new sources of energy. I commend the industry and hope this bill that Senator Domenici has worked on so hard will compliment the work in the private sector to help this country get to the freedom we need from imported sources so we can set our own destiny. I am proud to be a sponsor of this amendment and others like it.”
