Thus, any proposal to block the flow of raw materials currently needed to produce medical isotopes, as does H.R. 3276, represents a serious threat to the health and treatment of U.S. patients.

I support the goals of H.R. 3276 to promote U.S. domestic production of medical isotopes and phase out the current process necessary to provide raw materials for the production of medical isotopes.

However, H.R. 3276 fails to address fundamental issues necessary to ensure that cancer patients moving forward are guaranteed to receive the medicine they need to diagnose and treat their illnesses.

I know Senator Murkowski is on her way as well and will be here shortly.

We must learn from their difficulties and maintain our focus on the demonstration of commercial-scale Mo-999 production

I thank Senator Bingaman and the committee for your continued leadership in supporting this legislation

Chairman Bingaman, Ranking Member Murkowski, and Committee Members, thank you for the opportunity to testify

the National Association of Energy Service Companies (NAESCO) recognizes your leadership in developing the next generation of national energy policy.

I've long supported trying to put in place a cap-and-trade mechanism to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
