Off the floor, house and Senate Conferees will meet to negotiate the differences between the two tax reform bills passed separately out of each chamber. You can follow the house live here on cspan when members return at noon eastern. Right now, though, until they come back, well take you live to a Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on oversight committees at the Nuclear Regulatory commission. I was general counsel from early 2009 to 2012. They dont prohibit Foreign Ownership and uranium milling operations. It is again, milan as opposed. Go ahead. Mr. Burns yes.

An all of the above approach to american energy. For a country to continue benefit from Nuclear Energy we need the nrc to be an effective, efficient and predictable regulator. The nrc nrcs efficiency prince of good regulations states quote, the american taxpayer, the rate and consumer and licensees are all entitled to the best possible management and administration of regulatory activities.

When we looked at a fiveyear trend, we went from 15,000 in 2012 to 30,000 car break ins last year which is upward trajectory we need to turn around. Weve added some things to our reptoire, including standing up, a general crimes unit in november. That consisted of 48 investigators, 10 of which are dedicated to property crimes. They have citywide responsibility. They work with the station investigators to identify crews that are multijurisdictional inside and outside of the city.
