One final thing because I am going to run out of time here, but is it also true that MGM has attracted more business because of the investments you have made in water efficiency?

Can you just put it in perspective? How many rooms does your property have in Southern Nevada?

Thank you. Welcome to all of the panel members.

Thank you. I know my time is running out. Does anybody else have any comments with respect to that discussion, concerns, or disagrees with it?

And so, because I appreciate your lessons learned, and one of the things you had talked about was possibly mandating vehicles be repaired prior to registration or renewal of registration.

And this system is to be up and running or online. Do you have a time-frame for it?

So it is illegal for them to do that if they know it is subject to recall?

I have concerns about anybody who has a child or anybody who is driving these vehicles and they cannot get a replacement immediately.

Those Zones, can you tell me how they are identified? Are they identified by highest risk to the consumer?

What I am hearing is not quite when it comes to recalling and making sure that individuals in our communities, that have these vehicles, are aware that there is a concern for their safety.

Like others on this Committee, unfortunately, this is also personal to us in Nevada, in Las Vegas.

I want a final plan. I want to know how the money is being spent. I want an analysis. I want an assessment.

And if you are going to make a budget request to restart licensing for a facility that requires such expensive, innovative engineering, wouldn't it be more appropriate to lay all of these considerations before Congress before asking for…

Has the Department of Energy done a consideration or analysis based on that, to put costs associated with it?

Are you aware that this report also indicates the Department of Energy will need $13.5 billion, again, in 2007 dollars, and 10 years just to obtain a construction authorization and license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission?

In 2007 dollars, about $96 billion, and it has not been adjusted for inflation.

I cannot at this time make an assessment about the time and cost associated with the Yucca project, but I am committed to learning more about the project and helping to resolve this national problem.

Would you commit to giving this letter your attention and providing a quick response within the next two weeks?

I think we all know that we have to do better.

Had that question been asked of the Tribal witnesses, the committee would have heard an unambiguous 'Yes.'

I also hear from our tribes that it is difficult to get that treatment.

I will say that as somebody who worked in my State in law enforcement.

I will take that as a yes.

Would you agree that a special behavioral health program for Indians... might be an answer to addressing these substance abuse needs?

I believe in it. I think not only do we need culturally-appropriate but we need trauma-informed treatment as well.
