I do need to move on to Mr. Cicilline here, but Mr. Payne was asking about the water systems. Just look at real dollars, 2014 dollars, where the Federal investment has gone over the last 25 years, almost 30 years. So no wonder that we are not repairing and rebuilding. Mr. Speaker, let me turn to Mr. Cicilline who, together with his teammates, the gentlewoman from Illinois (Mrs. Bustos) and the gentleman from New York (Mr. Jeffries), developed a way of describing what it is we need to do. Last week, Mr. Cicilline took on this issue of transportation, infrastructure, generally, and made a proposal. Could the gentleman share with us. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Cicilline).
