“As we indicated yesterday, this matter is on the floor for one reason and one reason only. That is the nuclear power industry. That is the reason we are here. There is no other reason. The fact of the matter is that the situation here is the same as it was last year. What I indicated, Mr. President, yesterday, and it was confirmed by the chairman of the committee, we are not here because of science. We are here because of politics. We underline and we underscore that. What I said I would do yesterday I want to do today. That is, indicate to the Members of the U.S. Senate that there are approximately 200--I repeat, 200--environmental groups opposed to this legislation.”
