On the recordApril 10, 1997
I would answer my friend's question. We have made, since this bill came up, we have made $21 billion for the country. The figure was originally $80 billion. You heard the remarks of the proponents of this legislation. They said it is down to $59 billion. The truth is it should be down in the low millions, because to store this substance onsite costs almost nothing. The average cost per site is $5 million. Let us say we have 100 sites. We have 109 sites. We are talking about $50 million or whatever it is. Significantly less than $59 billion.
