They would mix with the crowd and in those days the formal ways women sat on the stool feet facing the floor them and move behind them. Well she had everybody came, the whole congress came every week. She served hot coffee, she served wine, and then she served what really was groggy. It was whiskey and heated whiskey. And everybody just loved it. [laughter] madison used the green room to lower the ones that he needed to talk to. Two men for, one from each party. It was very, very useful. People never forgot her for that. She was a bit of a street angel and home devil. She cleverly did that.

Our concern is that assertion is not always on a full enough audience evidence and experimental data to justify making those decisions so the net reduction, so there could be a net reduction in safety if exemptions and other relaxations in safety procedures are granted based on our presumption that a new reactors safer without a full examination. So mr. Chairman the bill as a distracted is an assumption that there are inherent safety features built into advanced design reactors that make it safer automatically. Thats a nice assumption to make and its a nice assertion to make but thats going to be tested. We have to make sure that anyone additional potentially successful safety feature interacts with the totality of the rest of the Nuclear Power plants in terms of assuming the plant is safe.
