Every now and then, we have a day when it reminds us why we ran for Congress. Today is one of those days.
Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Upton), the former full committee chairman and the current subcommittee chairman of the Energy Subcommittee.
I don't want to speak for the Department of Energy, but the draft legislation allows, without going through the appropriation process, funds generated by using this facility for private purposes to be used for maintenance of the facility.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I want to thank you, sir, for appearing voluntarily without subpoena and standing or sitting there all by yourself.
