I do share the concerns of my colleague from Illinois. That is why I commit to her and the rest of our Great Lakes colleagues that I will work in conference, I am sure with my ranking member, to see that the Corps receives the funding and…

I want to assure him that I will work with him to insert acceptable language into the Statement of Managers to accompany the conference report to encourage the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to address the recommendations found in the May…

I am pleased to enter into a discussion with the chairman of the Committee on Resources, and would tell him that I understand the need for this important project, and I will commit to my friend from California to do the best I can to…

This bill directs the Department of Energy to determine the potential cost savings and threat level reduction by placing spent fuel into a dual-use cask rather than separate storage and transportation casks. By reducing both the handling…

Yes, that is true. What has happened is some of the material has been transferred to concrete stationary casks after it has been in the pool for the appropriate time, but this radioactive fuel will have to be carefully removed and…

The Federal Government signed an agreement with the utility companies to dispose of this nuclear material by 1998 at the Yucca Mountain repository in Nevada. Unfortunately, Yucca Mountain is not scheduled to open until 2010.

I believe there are 103 nuclear power stations in the United States. At those installations, less than half the spent fuel is held within the reactor wall in giant water-cooled pools.

Clearly the Military Construction, Army National Guard account is a project that plans and designs an aviation support facility at the Fort Stewart/Hunter Army airfield in Georgia, which I might add I have landed at. The amount listed in…

Affordable housing is a critical issue, not just at Fort Ord but around the country. Where valuable assets are being given outright to communities as they are under base closure circumstances, those assets ought to be used in a manner that…

Section 130 limits the ability of the Army to prepare documents having to do with the transfer of land at Fort Ord that is planned for housing development.

If we can get the things done that are necessary to make it so, we can put it in a supplemental. We will certainly attempt to do that. I am sure the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Olver) will also be interested in doing that. But we…

I can make the gentleman from Georgia this assurance. I will make sure all the T's are crossed and the I's are dotted because I think this is a good model.

I am very sensitive to this. I happen to be pursuing a similar Buy American situation in another bill right now, which I plan to talk to the gentleman about at a later time. Mr. Chairman, I want the gentleman to know I am very sympathetic…

I visited this hospital in Corpus Christi, along with a number of other members of my subcommittee, and I really believe that the available capacity at that hospital and certainly the need of the veterans in that area would lend itself to…

I want to congratulate the ex-chair for coming forth with this amendment. I think it is very timely and very needed. As my colleague knows, one of the things I hope will be in this study is that the Governor of the State of Ohio has been…

Thank the gentleman from California for his clarification. I think we both agree that this issue is one of vital importance to our communities and law enforcement officials, and I appreciate the gentleman's assistance in this matter. Mr…

I will vote to impeach the President because by committing perjury he has violated his oath to uphold our Constitution and has undermined the rule of law, which is the foundation of our society

I oppose this because there is not a date certain for ending this committee. We had an agreement that it would be in writing on the 21st. This merely just takes out the 21st date and leaves an open end so this committee can go on forever…
