I will be candid with you, and I have been briefed a couple of times confidentially about what's going on, and the fact of the matter, is it frightens me how organized these people are.

I really feel that crime and corruption pose even greater dangers today in the countries that are out there than terrorism.

Do you think that the provisions of the electricity title in terms of siting, dealing with the NIMBY problem and the NEPA problem, are taken care of, or do you still think more is needed?

I think that we are likely to hear some arguments in opposition. They have to do with deregulation as being a problem.

I want to fix the problem, and we will talk about this investigation after they get the job done.

Further, I have introduced President Bush's Clear Skies Act, which will provide much needed relief to natural gas markets.

It is going to be public. We are going to have people in here and we are going to go over the report.

In other words, if the grid had been more robust, would that have had anything to do with this?

My concern is that if this bill is not passed, what are we going to do in the interim period of time?

If it is not passed now, that means we are in limbo until such legislation is passed.

I am prayerful that it is not filibustered so that we cannot move forward and get it done before we go home.

There has got to be some provision that says if that kind of thing happens, that somebody is going to step in and make it happen.
