Graham supports Export-Import Bank

U-S Senator Lindsey Graham says he and other senators from both sides of the political aisle in Washington have introduced the Export-Import Bank Reform and Reauthorization Act of 2015, which re-authorizes the bank’s charter late into the year 2019. Without congressional action, the authorization will expire this summer on June 30. “Closing the Bank right now would amount to unilateral disarmament by the United States and would hang American workers out to dry,” Graham said in a statement from Washington. He says both small and large businesses in South Carolina have benefited from the Export-Import Bank. One prominent example is the Boeing Company, which opened the 787 Dreamliner production facility in N. Charleston.
