Graham on Obama Budget Regarding MOX

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement on President Obama's budget submission to Congress as it relates to MOX.

"This cannot stand. Make no mistake about it, President Obama's budget submission to Congress is both irresponsible and reckless. His decision to dramatically reduce funding for the MOX program to a point that raises serious questions about its viability represents a fundamental breach of trust with the residents of South Carolina.

"I will be working with the Department of Energy and members of the Senate Appropriations Committee to address this injustice."
