area, in north augusta, in the south carolina area, from akin county where s.o.s. is, come to testify about what's going on and about yucca mountain. it's critical that we as a congress do what the law requires. we need a central depository. someplace where we can store this material, a repository so this material can be set in a safe, scientifically studied area that won't harm anybody and yucca fits all those categories, it's the only place in this country that does. we can store this material until we can utilize it. we need to be energy independent as a nation. nuclear energy is going to be one of the keys of an all-of-the-above energy policy and we've on our side been fighting for that and i know some democrats are very supportive of nuclear energy as i am. i'm an ardent supporter of nuclear energy, i think it's absolutely critical for us to go forward. but yucca mountain has to be a part of that formula. and we cannot close it up. we've spent billions of taxpayer dollars on this facility, one man, because he doesn't want it in his backyard, has promoted this

augusta reminds us that justice is held and is never been truer with 5% owning 65% of the nation's wealth. the radical idea that they have taken to heart through their social activism is that the superrich can harness the power that comes with wealth to create a more just and democratic society. it is thus fitting that they should be here in this conversation and debate on this stage at the new york public library, and constitution that unlike our universities and hospitals is open to all curious visitors regardless of their financial situation. as i say, if you walk through these doors, 15 minutes after walking through them, you can actually be touching the leaves of grass. we have the manuscripts of walt whitman. try it one day. when asked to submit a bio, something we do now with all those we invite. peter wrote chairman, insurance, philanthropist, father, and grandfather. ralph nader rough justice advocate, founder of many citizen groups, maybe also provocateur. ted turner wrote chairman, united nations foundation, philanthropist, environmentalist, con sers vaitionist. it's with great

the augusta wounded warrior projects help wounded veterans. i've had the honor of working with them on some of these priorities and to meet with some of the returning veterans they helped. what i hear over and over is that veterans can't take advantage of the many different support services available to them if they don't know about them or don't know how to navigate the bureaucracy that runs them. the yellow ribbon program helps them make that connection and get the services they've earned. according to the 2010 annual report to congress, the yellow ribbon program held over 2,000 events and had over 300,000 contacts with individual servicemen and their family members. that's a 50% increase in participation over 2009. and as the total number of returning national guard and veterans goes up the need goes up. this amendment will help make sure that the yellow ribbon program will help meet that need. my amendment makes these funds available through a transfer from the account for the afghanistan security forces fund. that account is funded in thi
