MIAMISBURG, Ohio-- The U.S. House of Representatives has approved $10 
million to complete the environmental cleanup of the old Cold War atomic 
plant (the former Mound Plant). However it still must be approved by the 
Senate before it can go to the President's desk.

The funds were approved by the House Thursday night as part of the 
fiscal 2009 Defense Authorization Bill. It'll also include $41.5 million 
in projects at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

U.S. Rep. Mike Turner, said, "this final investment should be what is 
needed to reach the finish line" on the $1 billion environmental 
remediation of the plant. "The Mound cleanup is important for both 
health and economic development reasons and will benefit our region for 
many years to come."
