chairman, of the additional time to question. >> thank you, senator markey. i'll take my last round right now and then you'll be able to finish up, senator carper. i just want to make the comment this legislation does not make assumptions. it sets forward a new process of more transparent and i think effective process for the decisions that you're talking about to be made. and it definitely does not give any exemptions to any technology. it puts the nrc directly in charge of improving and strengthening our safety. i'd actually just like to use my time to ask mr. merrifield and mrs. korsnick to respond to that very issue. >> i think the nrc will be able to continue to meet its mission of appropriately looking at these technologies and ensuring that they are assured that they are safe. i think it will do so in a way that is risk informed such that it will be able to judge is there a need for a large emergency planning zone where the amount of radiation that is in that reactor may be much less. >> and this legislation does not choose technologies -- >> it does n

the other item i wanted to mention, and i appreciate senator markey is not here, but the mandatory markey is not here. the mandatory hearings that we mentioned earlier, these are uncontested hearings. that means they do not participate. these are held between the commission and the staff on construction permit and combined license application. it's not cutting the public out, if you will, of any conversation. we are very interested in the public being involved and dialogue. >> if there's any public interest, there can be a -- the bill allows for a hearing to be held in that -- >> absolutely. there's many ways that the public can request a hearing on an application and be involved. this doesn't take away any of the public engagement involvement. i just wanted to make clear. i felt like a different impression was left, in fact, with the committee. >> thank you very much. senatorle carver? >> thank you. you're doing a great job. >> thank you. >> look forward to the day when you chair this more often. >> thank you, of course. >> unless, of course, i could be the chairman. then we could -- >>

senator markey? senator markey: thank you. there is an epidemic in the and sources now say that it is clear that china and mexico are the two principal means by which been to know is coming into the united states. the number of opioid deaths has escalated with the single plague addition to that been a killer in the country. what is our government saying to ofico about the implication the drug? it comes from mexico and winds peopleassachusetts where died, but what is it that we are telling the mexicans about this importation? >> it is the state department that has the lead on that dialogue, so i would ask my colleagues to respond. >> thank you. we are engaged in a broad effort addiction and improve poppyability to eradicate cultivation inside mexico, as well as strengthen our border and law enforcement cooperation to prevent those kinds of drugs from leaving mexico. senator markey: are you talking about fentanyl? it is like the chemical concoction that is put together. what are you saying about fentanyl specifically to the mexi

markey: thank you. sen. gardner: i want to clarify remarks that you made earlier. it came in response or after your exchange where you said iran gave up everything up everything up front, and i think later on, and perhaps another question and answer, you mentioned that iran has given up its ambitions of a nuclear program. i don't want to misquote you. what did you say? mr. shannon: my intent was to say it has given up its ambition of a nuclear weapon. sen. gardner: that is an accurate portrayal of your statement? mr. shannon: the jcpoa prevents iran from achieving a nuclear weapon. sen. gardner: at this point. do you believe that iran is testing ballistic missiles with the hope of one day putting a nuclear warhead on it? mr. shannon: this is one of the reasons we are concerned about the ballistic missile program. especially about ballistic missiles that have the capability were designed to have the capability to launch nuclear weapons. but the jcpoa, as it is of limited, today or over time will not allow iran to develop a nuclear weapon. should, for whatever reason

senator markey? >> thank you so much. mr. sequestration and the early closure of a number of nuclear plants have already put the nrc in a declining budget environment. at the same time the revelation that isis recorded video at the home of a belgian nuclear official underscores the need for additional resources for security and safety at u.s. nuclear power plants. it's at the top of the terrorist target list for isis. instead, the bill under consideration in this committee would constrain the nrc's resources by imposing a blanket cap on fees for operating reactor licensees. do you agree there's a possibility that such a cap could adversely impact safety and security by reducing resources and support for nrc staff working to protect reactors against insider threats or physical attacks? >> senator, thank you for your question. i would reiterate the commission has not weighed in on the proposed bill including the caps that are described in the bill. if they would become law, of course the nrc would abide by those -- >> fewer res

>> senator markey thank you for the question. in our view the mandatory hearing does establish a unique and important role in filling a gap in the event a contested hearing does not occur any benefit contested hearing does occur the mandatory hearing examines other issues including the adequacy of the nrc staff's review and a colleague of mine has compiled a number of instances where a mandatory hearing have covered -- uncover significant -- and i would offer that list for your inspection. we believe the mandatory hearing process is important is also important for transparency. we need to maintain transparency in the nrc review process and the fact of the public is nice of the resources to be able to contest a hearing, even if there are important safety issues that need adjudication soap for those reasons we think a mandatory hearing should be preserved. >> i agree with you. there are mandatory hearings if you want to build a new house next to someone else's house. they are building a nuclear power plant and mandatory hearings fo

markey: senator cassidy and i have filed this amendment in order to correct a problem in the bill. without this amendment, there would would not be the kind of discipline which is necessary in order to make sure that the strategic petroleum oil is sold strategically. so that the federal government gets the best price for it, so that we sell high or as high as we can in order to limit the number of barrels of oil which ultimately will be sold so that we can keep as many as possible in the strategic petroleum reserve. so in order to meet the budget objectives, this amendment satisfies it but also ensures that we keep the maximum number of barrels of oil remaining in the strategic trillium reserve -- petroleum reserve. this is goes to make tens of millions of extra dollars for the federal taxpayers because it will be done in a very smart way. we will be selling as high as possible because we bought this oil for the most part in a very high priced marketplace. so senator cassidy and i urge and i vote on the amendment. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from al

markey: thank you, mr. president, very much. mr. president, i rise today to discuss a number of my amendments to the f.a.a. reauthorization bill. mr. chairman, i filed markey 3467 to protect consumers from ridiculously high airline fees. in recent years, fees have gone up despite the fact that gas prices and airline choices have gone down. regrettably, the only thing competitive about the current airline industry is the battle for overhead compartment space. since 2001, ten major airlines have become four, allowing air carriers to charge ridiculous fees and act in uncompetitive ways. the four major airlines now control 80% of the seat capacity in the united states. at some major airports, passengers only have one or two airlines to choose from, and now airline fees have climbed as high as the planes passengers are traveling on. we must stop their rapid assent to protect the everyday airline passenger. according to an excellent report released by ranking member nelson last year, three airlines increased checked baggage fees by 67% be

the requests came from senators wyden, kirk, boxer, johnson, markey, mccaskill and baldwin, along with this senator from iowa. we happen to be members of the whistle-blower protection caucus. other senators also made similar requests for those reports. the second operation on decembed four of the five department of defense office of inspector general reports on that investigation. one is still being reviewed, and i'll tell you about that particular report in a minute. in reviewing these documents, we quickly realized that admiral losey seemed to be a serial retaliator of whistle-blowers. the evidence was overwhelming. he allegedly broke the law. it all began july, 2011, at the norfolk naval base travel office. there was a minor dispute over who should pay for his daughter's airline ticket to germany. as a coast guard academy cadet, that daughter was not entitled to travel as a dependent at taxpayers' expense. although admiral losey, his wife and staff allegedly pestered the travel office to pay for the ticket. admiral losey eventually purchased it with his own money. nonetheless, this
