President Bill Clinton is being urged by the approximately 40 organizations of the Military Production Network, and 40 members of the United States Congress and Senate, to convene a "Blue Ribbon Commission" to conduct a top-to-bottom review of high and low-level nuclear waste policies.
"The United States and many other countries are awash in long- lived radioactive materials... At present, we have no comprehensive approach to managing all of these materials over the generations that they will exist." -- Daniel A. Dreyfus, director of DOE's Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management
"Increasing DOE's budget for the radioactive waste program without making the commitment to an orderly and economic phase-out of waste production is exactly the wrong approach." -- Martin Gelfand, Research Director for the Safe Energy Communication Council
