I say to the gentleman from Oregon [Mr. DeFazio], the point you make I think is really important. The city of Portland has invested $750 million in cleaning up any pollution site and they are happy to live by the rules of the EPA. I am just shocked to find the nuclear Navy, this Federal facility, is not held to the same standards. I think it is really great that the gentleman brought it to our attention. I certainly support the amendment and hope my colleagues will do so, too.
