Speaker, I rise to address concerns brewing in
Lithuania and other Baltic States about the construction of a nuclear
power plant. This plant is 12\1/2\ miles from the Lithuanian border and
in sight of Vilnius, Lithuania's capital and largest city. I speak here not only as a friend of the Baltic people and as a
descendant of Lithuanian immigrants, but also as co-chair of the Baltic
Caucus and chairman of the Subcommittee on Environment. Like all my colleagues here, I am concerned about ensuring the
security, integrity, and safety of nuclear projects in Europe and
around the world. Here is the capital of Lithuania, Vilnius, and that
is where the power plant is being built.
