trump becoming the uncontested head of the republican party. there were some signs that maybe there might be an effort there, there might be some actual effort there when paul ryan declined to offer his endorsement to mr. trump. that led to threats this weekend from mr. trump that he would have paul ryan removed as chairman of the republican national convention this summer. so it started to feel like there might be a fight within the republican party. maybe it's finally coming to pass. it's on, right? it's on. he says, i'm not going to support him and there's the threat to remove him. it was on, it was a fight. it's off already. paul ryan telling the milwaukee journal late this afternoon when he was asked about that threat, "he's the nominee. i'll do whatever he wants." actually, i should be clear, before he says "he's the nominee, i'll do whatever he wants," paul ryan says, i'll do whatever. i'll do whatever he says twice. do we have the sound of it? >> if you have to step down as chair of the convention the -- >> i'll do whatever -- he's the

donald trump wins contests that were virtually uncontested in nebraska and west virginia.west virginia. there bernie sanders picks up his 19th primary win against hillary clinton. the vermont senator steam rolled the front-runner by 15 points there, but the win does very little to cut into clinton's sizeable delegate lead. clinton also snagged delegates last night, so many in fact she's now 150 delegates away from officially clinching the nomination. that cording to our political team, she could, could being the operative word here, hit that magic number next week after contests in kentucky and oregon. nonetheless, sanders insists he is staying put and campaigning until the end. >> this

the draft bill also eliminates the uncontested mandatory nrc hearing on construction permits and combinedicense applications. this would not limit public participation. since the public does not participate in a mandatory hearing and multiple other formal opportunities are available for public participation. the draft bill would require that the nrc improve the regulatory framework for decommissioning nuclear power reactors. it's in the best interest of all parties the nrc, licensees and other stakeholders to have a more efficient regulatory framework. the existing framework does not appropriately account for the significant reduction in risk that result when a power reactor ceases operations, defuels and decommissionings. in closing on behalf of our members i wish to thank the congressmen for introducing the important advanced reactoring legislation. we support passage of this bill. we also appreciate congressman kinsinger's work to reform the fees and the regulatory process. we look forward to working with members of the committee and their staff to advance these reforms, again, thank y
