Political Quotes

“Among those that are opposing this legislation are the Physicians for Social Responsibility, Clean Water Action, the Students Environmental Action Coalition of the University of Northern Iowa, Eco- Action of Penn State University, Southwest Research and Information Center, Snake River Alliance, Alliance for Survival, San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace, Los Alamos Study Group, Desert Citizens Against Pollution. These are only a few, Mr. President, of the organizations that oppose this legislation. There is not a single environmental group in the United States of America that supports this legislation. We heard yesterday and we have heard time and time again, Mr. President, that the State of Nevada had nuclear testing, therefore, why do we not have open-armed acceptance of storage of nuclear waste? I say, Mr. President, some have said that since the Nevada desert has already been degraded from nuclear weapons testing, it is a logical place to store nuclear waste. Somehow, this logic seems to contradict the old saying that two wrongs do not make a right. The suggestion assumes that these two activities have something in common. The only thing they have in common is posing danger to Nevada citizens and its environment.”
