“The vision Mr. Oberstar has just laid out is exactly what we are trying to do. Mr. Oberstar, of course, is responsible for today, but he is also, by working together with us, we are trying to make sure that we are building a better tomorrow based on the technology of tomorrow that will overcome some of the problems of today. And let us note for the record, this is probably the first legislative step toward the direction of fulfilling the vision that Mr. Oberstar just outlined for us of what the potential of this is. So if they go back in history and 5, 10 years from now we have an incredible working system that takes tens of thousands of trucks off the road and it helps our environment, we can look back to this vote and this floor discussion as the first step. I appreciate that very much and look forward to working with you. I think this is the perfect bipartisan effort where all of us can come together of any project that I know of.”
