I would like to see those when they come out and maybe visit with you further about that.

It is long overdue that we recognize those servicemembers in the Guard and Reserve who have sustained a commitment to readiness as veterans after 20 years of honorable service to our country.

I'd love to consider being part of that.

we had this legislation before the State of the Union, but the President mentioned trying to connect job skills with jobs.

I look forward to working with you on that.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank all three of you for your leadership on these issues.

I am really out of time here, so let me just ask if you have a timeframe on when you will release or announce this round of TIGER grants?

I think if nothing else, that is what one thing that the economic recovery, our stimulus money, proved--that we can do this without earmarks because of the great partnerships we have with the States.

I hope to work closely with the administration and my colleagues in this area.

Congress and the administration must work together to come up with a better plan for investing in our transportation system while reducing an unsustainable deficit.

I think it is critical that we continue to invest in our infrastructure that not only creates jobs now, but it is huge investment in the future.
