Jeff Bingaman: “I am concerned about the issue of whether the Department of Labor is not the best place to carry out the compensation…”

We ought to be encouraging that. That should not be something that we just do for 3 years or 5 years.

We fully support Chairman Bingaman's caution that any temporary storage facility must not become a permanent one.

I think there's an agreement that we need a permanent geologic repository.

The President, in my view, could not have chosen a better nominee for the position than Mike.
