Pelosi Spokesman on Republican Radio Address

Washington, D.C. – Below is a statement from Drew Hammill, spokesman for Speaker Nancy Pelosi, reacting to the Republican radio address by Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi:

‘While Democrats in Congress are working to ensure that the federal government has the adequate resources to respond to this catastrophe, Republicans in Congress are apologizing to BP and blocking legislation to strengthen the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund.

‘We will continue to push for this legislation and ensure that BP is held responsible for this disaster and taxpayers are protected.’
