On the recordOctober 12, 2000
I commend him for the fervor with which he has taken the interest of these very vital laboratories, some of which are in his State, and spent inordinate amounts of time in his Senate career trying to strengthen them and look after the employees. I know how difficult it was for him to work through the complicated case which was recently disposed of. I worked with the Senator in the creation of this new entity in the Department of Energy. I am about to get some new documents. Once I get them, I want to show them to you and we may find a little time to amplify this record. But I am advised, subject to the documents coming, we did take into consideration the concerns the Senator has expressed, and we do have a letter from the individual primarily responsible for security saying they could work with this proposal, this language.
