Bill Nelson: “the report language that accompanies the fiscal year 2002 Transportation Appropriations bill identifies many worthy…”

On the recordAugust 1, 2001
the report language that accompanies the fiscal year 2002 Transportation Appropriations bill identifies many worthy projects that the committee recommends be funded by the Department of Transportation. I thank the chairwoman for her and the committee's support of projects in Florida that were requested by Senator Graham and myself. However, many other worthwhile projects were not included on this list. It is my understanding that the report language is intended to guide conferees in setting the final spending measure, but does not preclude other projects from also being considered for inclusion. Is this correct?

One of the reasons you and I were able to accomplish so much on this committee is both of us worked very hard to keep politics out of NASA and to focus on the core mission of exploration.
