But if the fee collection increases, either through more licensees' payments 
(not likely) or fee increases, then the NRC can request more funding  with 
less chance of being denied by Congress?  Or is there absolutely no 
correlation?  What happens to fines collected?  Into same pot?  Available 
for the NRC budget or does it go to build more federal country clubs 
(prisons for convicted government workers)?

Hmmm......I wish I could figure out a way to do this at home, but I can't 
get my wife to cooperate.  There are always more bills to pay than money to 
pay them, and next month will be even worse.  <GRIN>

Happy Hanukkah!

To Kent and anyone else who might care:

Just to keep the record straight on license fees:  The money does not go to
the NRC but goes
into the Governments general funds.  Congress required the NRC to collect
enough money
from its licensees to compensate for what the NRC spends but what the NRC 
may
spend is
set by Congress.  The NRC budget is not affected by changes in the fee
structure.
