Though the subject of today's hearing is investing in water infrastructure, including ports and navigation, waterways, flood control, and environmental restoration, I think what this hearing is really more about is job creation and economic growth, protection of life and property but also helping to establish a more nurturing environment for job creation and job preservation.
Carper emphasizes the importance of infrastructure investment for job creation and economic growth.
