With my long speech basically ended, what I am saying is that I'm appealing to members not to support this, because we need to be able to differentiate between the trivial and the substantive when it comes to scientific issues.
Everywhere we go, there's radiation around us. There's background radiation. Every industrial plant of any size has leaks and spills and so forth if they do anything. From what I've heard of the testimony, what Mr. Allen read, the accounts I've seen, and the people I've talked to who were here at the meetings, this does not qualify as a substantive event.
Instead of concentrating on something trivial like this, we need to move on to our report and actually get something accomplished instead of having one-off sessions that don't actually lead to any report.
