We have got overcapacity on our inland waterways and, yet, you have to do these little things so that you can have more capacity.

I think those are things that we just have to look at or just things that I think we can help you with.

I think sometimes some of these things sound a little self-serving, and yet you get so caught up in these projects.

I appreciate both of you all so much for your willingness to serve in these positions. You almost have to have the wisdom of Solomon, and we pray that you will have that.

I would hope that this Committee would take a longer look at not only just I-73 in South Carolina but the other corridors that need to be addressed as the population shifts from the Northeast down to the Southeast and also to the Midwest.

I think the design-build method certainly would be something that I would like to see us implement.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

I think everybody wants to do what is fair, in implementing what we want done.

Otherwise, it is perfectly reasonable for us to expect reasonable progress toward implementing the legislation we pass.

The point I want to make to the VA witnesses here today is that the law says verify the database.

I would like to know when we can expect that report.
