Senate Committee Drafting Legislation To Embody Blue Ribbon Commission's Ideas

摘要

The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee is drafting legislation to implement the major recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future, the committee chairman said June 6. Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.) said such a bill would probably not be considered until after the 2012 presidential election, and he did not indicate when it would be introduced. A draft bill, however, would provide Congress with a sound blueprint and lay the foundation for future legislation, he said.
