Political Quotes

“I have addressed this House several times in the last week and a half regarding a matter that is of great importance to this entire Nation, and that is the uranium enrichment industry which was privatized, an industry which was privatized 2 years ago. Just recently, this privatized company made the announcement that one of the two enrichment facilities in this country would be closed, thus displacing nearly 2000 workers from jobs, and, I believe, endangering the economic and the energy security of this Nation. I come to the House floor today because I want to share with Members of this House and with the country a letter which was sent to the CEO of this privatized company by the chairman of my committee, the Committee on Commerce. This letter was sent by the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Bliley). I would just like to read one paragraph from the letter, because I think it is relevant to what has happened with this industry.”
