"We have to address our infrastructure inadequacies."

"We can't rest on that. A lot of it is crumbling, as you know. Our population is growing."

"There has to be a combination of other things. But there is so much more money in the private sector, if we figure out a way to leverage it up here."

"I came on this Committee for one reason. I knew how important the infrastructure challenge was in this country and in this Congress."
