“Again, I appreciate the importance that the gentleman places on securing nuclear material. I share his view. I still am very concerned, for example, that terrorists will obtain--and we know they would use--nuclear material if they have the opportunity. The concern here is that we are doing things for Russians with American taxpayer dollars so they need not do it for themselves. In fact, what they do for themselves is build more capability that threatens us. We can't continue down that road. I oppose the amendment, and I urge Members to do likewise. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Larsen). The amendment was rejected. Amendment No. 26 Offered by Mr. Rogers of Alabama The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 26 printed in part B of House Report 114-569.”
