YUCCA MOUNTAIN
(Mr. DUNCAN of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. DUNCAN of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I have prepared remarks
today, but I want to talk about Yucca Mountain.
We've heard a lot of talk this week about the Presidential candidates
and Yucca Mountain. America needs to realize that South Carolina, on
the Savannah riverside, is currently holding all of the legacy weapons
product material that came out of the Nonproliferation Treaty--
plutonium, sitting in my State, in my district, that is slated to go,
under past agreements, to Yucca Mountain. It's the right place.
America needs to bring Yucca Mountain back online. And let's take the
legacy weapons products out of South Carolina and put them in a long-
term storage facility.
