Senator Crapo Questions OMB Director nominee about nuclear load guarantee hold ups

 

At yesterday’s (Thursday 16^th) Senate hearing on Jacob Lew’s nomination for White House Office of Management and Budget Director Senator Crapo urged Lew to be prepared to resolve the longstanding budgeting disagreement that has held up federal loan guarantees for new nuclear power plants.  During his questioning of Lew, Senator Crapo said   "We've had unnecessary bureaucratic holdup from what appears to be infighting between DOE and OMB," Crapo said. "Something's wrong, because we cannot seem to get proper and timely movement forward on the process."
