                    APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2017


                               WEDNESDAY,   FEBRUARY   24, 2016

                                                       U.S. SENATE,
                      SUBCOMMITTEE  OF THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS,
                                                           Washington, DC.
                   The  subcommittee met at 2:34 p.m. in room SD-138, Dirksen
                 Senate  Office Building, Hon. Lamar Alexander (chairman) pre-
                 siding.
                   Present: Senators Alexander, Murkowski, and Feinstein.
                            NUCLEAR   REGULATORY COMMISSION
                 STATEMENT  OF HON. STEPHEN G. BURNS, CHAIRMAN
                 ACCOMPANIED  BY:
                    HON. KRISTINE SVINICKI, COMMISSIONER
                    HON. WILLIAM OSTENDORFF, COMMISSIONER
                    HON. JEFF BARAN, COMMISSIONER
                        OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR LAMAR ALEXANDER
                   Senator ALEXANDER. The  Subcommittee on Energy and Water
                 Development please come to order.
                   Today's hearing will review the President's fiscal year 2017 budg-
                 et request for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
                   This is our first budget hearing this year. We expect to have
                 three more budget hearings in the coming weeks. Senator Feinstein
                 and I will each have an opening statement, and let me-it gives me
                 an opportunity to say again what a delight it is to serve with her,
                 to serve with somebody who has such good, strong knowledge of the
                 subject, but also who, as a former mayor of a big city, knows how
                 to make a decision. So it's nice to work with her in an effective and
                 bipartisan way. And we find areas where we can put our heads to-
                 gether and come to an agreement and get a result, which makes
                 service in the Senate much more satisfying to me. So I thank her
                 for the way she does things.
                   I will then recognize each Senator for up to 5 minutes after we
                 have our opening statement for an opening statement, alternating
                 between the majority and minority in the order in which they ar-
                 rive, and will then turn to Chairman Burns to present testimony
                 on behalf of the Commission. I will then recognize the Senators for
                 5 minutes of questions each, alternating from side to side.
                   Our witnesses today include Stephen Burns, chairman of the Nu-
                 clear Regulatory Commission.
                   Welcome, Mr. Chairman.
                                              (1)
