Nuclear Energy Assembly

Washington, D.C.
May 23, 2001


Good morning…Thank you all for being here on the second day of the Nuclear Energy Assembly.

I would particularly like to thank Senators Domenici and Voinovich for their insightful comments…

And, more importantly, for their continuing support of our industry.

As you have already heard over the course of this conference…

Nuclear energy is being appropriately recognized for what it is—a safe, environmentally sound, competitive and indispensable component of our national energy mix.

That recognition is in no small measure due to the leadership of these two distinguished Senators, and…

A number of their congressional colleagues on both sides of the political aisle.

And, as we have seen in recent weeks, the Bush administration.

I am proud that our industry has always been able to rise to the occasion.

When faced with a challenge—a call to arms, if you will—we have always responded with a boldness born of the leadership and determination of those of you here today.
