In closing, we do need to move forward. This isn't the time to bicker. This is the time to put people to work. This is the time to pass long-term reauthorization. I said earlier this cannot be another Band-Aid. We have had 21 extensions…
I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, we are here today to extend once again authorization for the Federal Aviation Administration and for our Nation's transportation, highway, and transit programs. Unfortunately, these…
