Well, as of this moment, Donald Trump is out of business in New York because all of his business certificates, business licenses in effect have been cancelled.

Trump is just behaving lawlessly.

We need to have an independent look at Donald's finances.

Donald has a long history of, you know, cheating, lying under oath, presenting false documents.

since 1973, my first year in the Senate, I have spent a great deal of time and energy on issues affecting Puerto Rico. I rise today to voice my concern for our fellow citizens in Puerto Rico, who have been greatly affected by our recent…

As my good friend from New Mexico, the chairman of the Energy and Water Development Subcommittee and many other Members are aware, the subcommittee continues to support a strong Fusion Energy Sciences Program. As noted in the report…

The University of New Orleans has developed an entrepreneurship program designed not only to assist in the development of skills, but also to assist in the creating of individual, family, and small businesses in our inner cities. The two…

I rise today to speak to the merits of a program that has done great work in the field of medicine. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, or ATSDR, funded through the Environmental Protection Agency, has addressed the…

today I am introducing the DOE Reports Elimination and Streamlining Act of 1996, to implement a number of recommendations that have been received from the administration for the repeal of requirements for unnecessary or obsolete reports to…

If I may answer that, because the Senator is a very thoughtful Senator and it is a fair question. First of all, let me say, on the issue of reprocessing, you would need a central facility for reprocessing anyway. So that does not solve the…

the Government cannot violate contractual rights. The second question is what is the duty of the Federal Government with respect to nuclear waste? It so happens that the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has decided that very…

What is the difference in liability between having the duty to dispose of and in taking title?

I want to briefly reply to a statement that was made a little earlier by the Senator from Nevada, quoting me a few years back saying that nuclear powerplants were running out of space. The fact of the matter is, that statement was true…

The Nation has more than three decades of experience transporting both civilian and DOE-owned spent fuel. In 1997, 471 shipments were made, 444 of which were by truck. In the 1980's, 100 to 200 such shipments were typically made each year…

This is sort of a version 2 of the Wellstone amendment, in that it seeks to take the rights of utilities and, secondarily, the rights of ratepayers of utilities, and abolish those by legislative fiat--which simply cannot be done. The…

I have not said the fund is sufficient. DOE has said the fund is sufficient. And many nuclear utilities do not believe it is sufficient. But the sufficiency of the fund has nothing to do with the damages to which a utility would be…

And the Senator would not disagree you can't take away that right legislatively, can you?

Then how in the world can the Senator say they are transferring the duty of disposing of nuclear waste from the Federal Government or the taxpayers and giving that to the utilities?

I would like to commend the Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee on its committee report which provides funding to complete the final development of the Vessel Traffic System [VTS] 2000. This is a system that is necessary to enhance…

Thus, we hold that the Nuclear Waste Policy Act creates an obligation in DOE to start disposing of the spent nuclear fuel no later than January 31, 1998. Is there any disagreement with what I read in the decision?

The decision of the court of appeals makes clear that they have a vested right to the title passing as of the time that the nuclear repository is built and not until that time, but they have the duty to dispose of the waste January 31…

Mr. President, what the Senator is saying is so illogical. We have established that the Federal Government has the duty to dispose of spent nuclear fuel, and the Senator is saying that that duty carries with it no responsibility to pay…

Let us take this one at a time. You agree with me the Government has no right to take away vested rights, and would be liable for the violation?

nuclear waste traveling the country is, first of all, solid in form. It is sealed in a cask that, as I say, if you get a direct hit by something 30 times more powerful than an antitank weapon, what do you get? You get a third of an ounce…
