Markey and DOE Guards

["Estabrooks, Bates (IHK) " <IHK@Y12.doe.gov>]

Without disclosing anything I shouldn't, let me say that it is evident that

Rep. Markey has never actually visited a DOE/NNSA site that handles SNM.  If

he had, he would have seen the significant lengths to which we go to protect

this stuff.  As a former Rocky Flats, and current Y-12, employee who has

had, and still has, the need to enter MAAs at these facilities, I can assure

you that security is very tight, and getting tighter.
