Sen. Ben Nelson is asking the federal government to help the Nebraskans who will lose their jobs as Tenneco closes its shock-absorber plant in Cozad.

In a letter sent Wednesday, the Nebraska Democrat asked officials to help identify training and job opportunities for the 500 workers.

Tenneco says the plant doors will be closed for good by the end of 2010.

Nelson's letter was addressed to Ed Montgomery, who is the director of the Office of Recovery for Auto Communities and Workers in the U.S. Department of Labor. The office is overseeing help for American autoworkers affected by troubles in the auto industry.
