( AP ) -- USEC Inc., which provides uranium and support services to nuclear power plants, spent nearly $1.8 million in the first half of 2007 to lobby the federal government, according to a recent disclosure form.
The company lobbied on issues related to renewable energy, government loan guarantees and international nuclear agreements, according to the form posted Aug. 9 by the Senate's public records office.
Besides Congress, the Bethesda, Md.-based company lobbied the departments of Commerce, Energy and State, and the White House.
Under a federal law enacted in 1995, lobbyists are required to disclose activities that could influence members of the executive and legislative branches. They must register with Congress within 45 days of being hired or engaging in lobbying.
