Landrieu Comments on

MRGO Closure Report



WASHINGTON - United States Senator Mary L. Landrieu, D-La., made the
following statement on the Army Corps of Engineers giving to Congress its
Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO) closure report.

Sen. Landrieu said:

"This is an important step toward closing the MRGO, which caused extensive
destruction during Hurricane Katrina. I have long advocated for its closure
and successfully inserted the legislative language to mandate it in the June
2006 supplemental and 2007 water resources bill. This step needs to be
quickly followed by construction of the closure, which will protect our
communities and environment."
