I am offering an amendment, Mr. Chairman, at the request of the Department of Energy that says we can live with 15 percent over 5 years. We are going to be doing that as part of the mandates by Congress, but if we go beyond that, at 30 percent, then we are cutting science, we are cutting 14,000 people. It is a meat-axe approach.

Perhaps a vaguer statement that says tensions are less and the war is over, OK. Maybe. But not as a tradeoff unless there is substantial denuclearization.
Russia needs to get tougher and they are not doing it. I think these U.N. sanctions were the strongest that we have ever had.
But the sanctions that have, I think, bitten--that bite the most have been the coal, the uranium, the oil sanctions that are imposed now by the U.N.
We absolutely need them to keep enforcing sanctions or the pressure on North Korea will deteriorate.
