I wonder where this country would be if it had not been for that socalled sacred cow over the last 30 to 35 years of this Nation? As a matter of fact. as we are debating this bill today. it is the 40th anniversary of the chain reaction in Chicago brought about by the atomic pile created by Enrico Fermi. I think we ought not to try to downgrade and denigrate the achievement that that great refugee from fascism managed to contribute to the safety and security not only of the United States but of the entire free world. Indeed. if the gentleman from Massachusetts had done his homework. he would have known that the Committee on Armed Services. in making our report. on page 11 says this: The Committee on Armed Services amendments are designed to prevent the establishment of storage facilities for civiliangenerated nuclear waste at facilities now being operated for national defense purposes. The committee emphasizes that the recommended amendments do not foreclose the disposal of defensegenerated radioactive wastes In such repositories as may be established by this legislation.
