i suspect barak obama in part had a chance to be elected president of the united states because the people he never knew and never knew him sat here day after day, week after week and engaged in the debate on civil rights. back long before any of us were ever here, except for one, bob byrd was here, ted kennedy was here, those two members were actually in this chamber in knows days in the early 1960's. today we're a lot better country because of it. and that was one heck of a fight. let me tell you. i was a young page sitting on the floor here in the summer of 1961 and 1962 when lyndon johnson was sitting where the presiding officer is watching the all-night debates on civil rights and they were raucous, wild, and they were tough. and there was no bipartisanship on that i can tell you. it was down right tough and nasty. those memories fade. what retains and recalls is the fact that this institution had leaders. it stood up and said we're going to get this done and they achieved those results. and today we celebrate those moments. we've forgotten about the bitterness that occurred in the de

this president, president obama barak obama -- barak obama, campaigned against yucca.s not a surprise that he would at this juncture take the position that yucca is not the permanent place for repository storage. i would say that the administration has recognized that not proceeding with yucca doesn't mean that you don't need an intellectual framework for nuclear waste. they have committed themselves to that. the development of an alternative framework to address the issue of waste. you have to do that, because in order to build plants, you have to establish what i believe is called waste confidence. so i'm convinced that the administration is doing the right thing in the sense that they said we don't want to go with yucca. but they're doing the right thing by saying, but, there has to be an alternative. we're committed to find that alternative and developing that alternative with the blue ribbon commission. i also want to mention our national laboratories. this bill funds our national science laboratories as well as the weapons laboratories. and these laboratories, i
