obviously, I do not want a monument erected to me in Kentucky. But I do appreciate the Senator from Kentucky indicating his commitment to help get these nominees approved if some accommodation could be found for his concerns. As I say, I have no knowledge of this particular issue. I do not know whether the request the Senator from Kentucky is making is within the realm of possibility. We will certainly go as far as to investigate the issue and try to get a response back to the Senator as to the Department of Energy view on this issue. That much I can certainly commit to the Senator from Kentucky. But I appreciate his willingness to discuss this issue on the Senate floor. I also very much, as I said before, appreciate his commitment to help us get these nominees approved if some accommodation of his concerns can be agreed upon. I yield the floor.
