at an important crossroads due to the lack of sufficient energy; and
WHEREAS, we Americans are justifiably proud of our Independence
both as people and as a Nation - but we must acknowledge that in today's

liberty and our pursuit of happiness; and

to promptly get on with its responsibility to determine and
implement the safest possible method for the storage, ultimate
reprocessing and final disposal of all types of nuclear waste.

necessary.
