John Tanner said "I appreciate that because I am concerned about the funding levels in the decontamination and decommissioning account, which funds environmental cleanup and decontamination and decommissioning activities at the Portsmouth, OH, Paducah, KY, and Oak Ridge, TN gaseous diffusion plants, and the nondefense environmental restoration and waste management account. GAO, I would note, identifies more than $40 million in leftover unneeded funds to cancel construction projects funded in the environmental and waste management account. May I ask if the chairman believes that at least a portion of these carryover funds could be used to fund needed projects in the decontamination and decommissioning account and the nondefense energy restoration and waste management account?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
