With all due respect to my colleague, I believe he is addressing the previous amendment. This amendment simply deletes language from the bill that prohibits DOE from closing Yucca Mountain. I would also remind him of the bipartisan bill that is in the Senate that would provide a solution for our nuclear waste problem, which is consent-based, bipartisan and consent-based. This policy has been a waste of time and money and, indeed, it is bad politics, not good science. I yield to my colleague, Mr. Horsford.
