Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Congresswoman Gwen Moore (D-Milwaukee) made the following statement after speaking with Fred Hochberg, President of the Export-Import Bank on its decision that could save jobs in Milwaukee and could allow Bucyrus to manufacture equipment for a coal plant in India:

“I’m hopeful that Bucyrus will be able to complete this work.  I wrote the Export-Import Bank in support of these jobs back in January and have remained in contact with them throughout the process.

“We know that there is no better equipment than what we can make here.  But we also know, there will be equipment, either way.  This project will go forward, and we’re working to make sure that our workers get the job.

“I will continue to work with the Export-Import Bank in my capacity as a member of the House Financial Services Committee to make sure that we have explored every avenue to keep the work here.”
