I am hoping that in any new infrastructure bill that is proposed that the cleanup issues will be also considered for inclusion.

the fact that you have named your port in memory of our dear Congresswoman Helen Delich Bentley gets my attention.

I urge you to work together and invite the President of the United States to your Reservations and to make sure that the infrastructure bill that they are considering over there... that they see you.

We do not have a flexible system to target. We do not have any program really that deals with this kind of economic transformation.

We cannot get the government of the United States to respond fast enough to what is occurring there.

In the region of the country that I represent nuclear energy is undergoing particular market pressure right now because of, I do not know whether one would call it an anomaly in the marketplace, but because of the movement of natural gas…

I was very impressed, Ms. Collins, with some numbers you provided for the region. Appalachia, I mean, just think about this, since 2000 has lost, counting manufacturing jobs and coal jobs, over 655,000 jobs.

I do want to make a comment about it. And I don't want us to be a country that is penny-wise and pound-foolish.

I think it is a mistake. And it is certainly a mistake to sell it at low prices.

And I really believe that the sort of current solution, which is let these sick fish fall on the States, isn't working.

we have real enemies. And we can't anticipate what will happen in the future.
