Texas congressman Ralph Hall visits ORNL
Knoxville News Sentinel 1/11
U.S. Rep. Ralph Hall, R-Texas, chairman of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee and the oldest member in Congress, was in town Tuesday for his first tour of Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Hall was accompanied by U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, R-Tenn., who welcomed the Texas congressman during a pre-tour meeting with the news media and called ORNL a "critically important" research institution. "I'm a little sick of hearing of Oak Ridge," Hall joked to his host. "I want to find out if all those things you say are true."
Hall was scheduled to visit the High Flux Isotope Reactor and other ORNL facilities, including the National Center for Computational Sciences, which houses some of the world's fastest supercomputers.
