“I have been following this issue with some interest and note the strong interest of the Senator and his colleague, Senator Bryan, with respect to this issue. Obviously, you have a very strong State interest. I have been attempting to understand the full dimensions of this controversy. I notice on my schedule that I have individuals from the utility in my region coming in to see me tomorrow or the day thereafter with respect to this question. I wanted to have the opportunity to be able to ask a few questions in preparation for that meeting, if you do not mind. The issue, as I understand it, is the question of an immediate storage capacity, and the question of whether or not you take the steps now to have that capacity located in the State of Nevada. Is that basically the question before the Senate?”
