“I want to compliment him for working through a difficult conference and producing what I think is a really fine bill. It meets the needs of America. There are more needs that need to be met, but this bill goes right directly to the heart of some of the hot transportation problems, whether it is surface transportation or whether it is air transportation. Are there negatives? Are there things you could look for to be against? Of course. In any bill that comes before this House, if my colleagues want to find something to be against, they can find something to be against. There are 435 of us here. I would suspect that there are a lot more than 3 or 4 ideas or positions on any issue. But I want to specifically compliment the gentleman from Virginia (Chairman Wolf) and the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Sabo), the ranking member of the subcommittee. These people are professionals. They know what the needs are, and they do the best they can to give us advice so that we can utilize the money available to meet those needs.”
