Every dollar governors are forced to cut out of our budgets is a dollar that's not going into the economy. . . .

The atmosphere there is the best I've seen in 15 years,
They have won breathing room for negotiations to take place to maintain a slightly reduced presence.
they would be willing to have the U.S. participate in the fuel cycle at the front and back end.
This is inexcusable; I'm outraged, ... It's incomprehensible what happened. I'm going to take action. I'm going to get to the bottom of this. There's going to be accountability.
I want to send a message to all lab employees, every single one of them, that security is important, that I want your attention, that I want you to permanently give your attention to security so we don't have leaks anymore,
