I hope we will reflect on the NRC's position here and help to achieve a culture of independence, objectivity, and public interest over corporate interest.

I want to say I have respect for all of my colleagues who are concerned about nuclear proliferation. We all ought to be concerned about nuclear proliferation. We can start with our own country. Right now we've set the stage for continuing…

I will once again yield time to a colleague who I may disagree with, but he is entitled to 3 minutes, and I will yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Sherman).

I ask unanimous consent to place in the record a staff report called Regulatory Meltdown.

I thank the gentleman. After $5.3 billion was spent in the 2008 Federal elections, I never heard anyone utter a word that said the problem we face today in Washington is that we need more private money in politics. Never has anyone said to…

Is it also true that Nagle Toledo has been involved in two Department of Transportation reported truck crashes over the past year and five in the past 2 years; is that correct?
