Reclaiming my time, I intend for Yucca Mountain to be fully funded, and our bill does just that. As a matter of fact, I have gone head to head with the Senate since I have been the chairman of this subcommittee to ensure that the nuclear waste disposal program receives as close to the budget request as possible. The gentleman is absolutely right that the ratepayers are not getting what they paid for because DOE has not fulfilled its statutory and contractual obligation to accept spent fuel for disposal. I have ratepayers in my own State who also have not received value for what they have paid into the Nuclear Waste Fund. We are not intending, and I want to be very pointed about this, we are not intending to divert or diminish attention to Yucca Mountain.
