Wagner Statement on Appropriations Package

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Ann Wagner (R-MO) released the following statement on today’s proposed appropriations legislation that failed to include the reauthorization of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), S. 3853:

“The reauthorization and expansion of RECA is vital for affected Americans here in St. Louis and around the country. I am extremely disappointed Senate and House leadership failed to include the Senate-passed RECA in the appropriations package released today.  Time is of the essence, and I will continue to fight for any path forward to get this passed in the House.”
