It is my view. My visit to Hanford last year gave me a real appreciation for the need to treat the tank wastes at Hanford and protect the Columbia River from the groundwater contamination. The Department must be more forthcoming with information on its plans for the waste treatment plant, and this conference agreement requires a report on their actions to date by December 1 and quarterly reports beginning on January 1. So the gentleman has my assurance that we are on this; and, frankly, had I not visited and seen the problem firsthand, I might not have been as active and as strong on this; but I want to assure the gentleman and his State that we are going to be on top of this.
