You're also probably aware that the lease for Two White Flint North expires on December 14th of this year. So, let me at the outset assure you that, even if there were a change in our Two White Flint occupancy, it would be a very gradual one. And there's no need to worry that you won't have an office on December 15th. Your office furniture will not be put out on Rockville Pike on that day. Okay? (Laughter.) So, we are in the process of working towards a short-term lease and, then, a long-term solution. So, not to worry. The staff has been working diligently with the General Services Administration, the Office of Management and Budget, and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on developing a path forward to reduce the Agency's footprint while 15 retaining the Two White Flint building. And GSA right now is 16 17 18 19 simultaneously working as well on negotiating a lease extension for Two White Flint North. So, like I said, while we don't know what the final outcome will be, we will, of course, keep you fully informed of all the 20 developments. And let me just say that I appreciate the National 21 22 23 24 25 26 Treasury <strong>Employee</strong>s Union's active involvement in, and partnership with, the <strong>NRC</strong> as a member of our Two White Flint Working Group. This partnership has been instrumental in moving the process forward. So, as I said, I have full confidence that our Agency will do a great job in tackling all the tasks on our plate. I do have to note, unfortunately, though, that we may still be impacted by issues that are

It is not yet clear whether we'll continue to be impacted by sequestration for another year. Of course, we also face the possibility of another lapse in appropriations and perhaps another shutdown. I don't have any insight on this. I'm just saying that we should be aware. And in the face of these uncertainties, I think the best thing for you guys to do is just to stay focused on your work. Agency management will continue to follow all of these issues closely, and we'll do our best to minimize any impact to our work or to you personally. In the spirit of focusing on our mission and looking ahead, let me take a moment to share some of my priorities for the year ahead. Obviously, continuing to ensure safe and secure operation of our licensed facilities is at the top of all of our lists. In addition, I believe it is important for us to assess how the lessons from our recent experiences with the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station can inform our future work. I also think we need to work to further ensure that we're considering the entire fuel cycle and paying sufficient attention to back-end issues. I would like to continue to enhance our Agency's public engagement. And to that end, I would like to commend the Waste Confidence Directorate and the Japan Lessons Learned Directorate for their efforts in this area.
