Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski, dean of the state's congressional delegation and chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, played up the significance of Maryland having two sites under consideration.
"This is like winning the primary," said a beaming Mikulski. "Now we're suiting up to go on to win the general."
