The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF NUCLEAR COMPONENTS MISSING” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Energy was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H7728 on Nov. 6, 2001.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF NUCLEAR COMPONENTS MISSING
(Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. TRAFICANT. According to news reports, the Department of Energy cannot find substantial amounts of plutonium and uranium. The plutonium and uranium were, according to a Department spokesman, either loaned out to research groups or, quite simply, it was ``just the fault of sloppy bookkeeping.''
Unbelievable. It appears that these two powerful components of nuclear destruction are being regulated as well as condoms at a Vegas brothel.
Beam me up here.
I yield back the need to find these lost items, before bin Laden delivers them to our front lawn.
