I want him to know, however, that the House and Senate have accepted legislation dealing with this from a structural standpoint. Those issues are in committee right now and should be resolved in the authorization bill. I also appreciate the chairman's willingness to work with us to ensure that the savings reached in the new Hanford contracts which are in my district can be used to compensate for the Department's plan to transfer $185 million in cleanup into an insurance fund. I appreciate his work on this because this is critical to my district, and, Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for his consideration.
