Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) met with Savannah River Site contractors and local officials Friday in Aiken, S.C. to discuss Savannah River issues. “Although many of the different players have different priorities, one clear objective remains: we must do all that we can to ensure the Savannah River Site’s national security missions remain intact with a dedicated full workforce,” Wilson said in a statement. “I appreciate the team efforts of local officials, contractors, and DOE to promote current and future missions at the Site. As the only member of Congress who has worked at SRS, I have been active in securing support for key national security missions. Moving forward, it is imperative that we bring attention to the role SRS plays in protecting our national security. I am confident that as we continue to garner additional support for these missions, both within our State delegation and nationally, this goal will be achieved.”
