The new Administration I believe wants that sort of frankness and critical thinking that Admiral Blair will bring to this job.

Congress and President Obama are working on an economic recovery package that would invest in our trains, mass transit, roads, bridges.

Transportation is also critical to our environment: our energy independence, to use less oil, emit fewer greenhouse gases.

I commend this wise decision to designate Admiral Willard as our next PACOM Commander.
